Monster Energy Drink- Experienced- This Drink is a Bitch

anyone drank that 5 hour energy drink yet?

a friend of mine said he drank his round 4 and it was round 10 o clock at night and he was still seeming pretty wired.

Yeah. I found it very subtle, not like caffeinated energy drinks. Its effects are mostly due to B vitamins if I recall correctly. It's not so much a buzz as just a feeling of being awake and "fresh".
 
B6 (Pyridoxine) has serious all around potential, IME. Expecially, B6 phosphate, although, the more common hydrocloride salt works well.

Anyone mentioned Redline yet?? That shit is pretty hardcore. Had me shaking for a few hours or more. It's like syrupy and nasty tasting. You're only supposed to drink 4 oz but they sell it in a 8oz bottle....

I hate caffeine now though, I guess i overdid it for a long time and now I get nauseous and shaky every time.
 
^redline also contains yohimbine in addition to the caffeine. so it really is different, and stronger, than the other energy drinks.

i have not tried redline, but i have taken yohimbe before, and would not take it again. it feels so nasty and dirty and cuases me anxiety.

personally, i enjoy the occasional redbull or rockstar. it doesn't give me a buzz or anything, but i drink coffee regularly so i have tolerance to caffeine. i like the way they taste.
 
Yohimbine is nasty stuff. I have found one supplement, the Stacker 3 XPLS, that have alpha-yohimbine in them, and they're better. Still have to be careful though. Alpha-yohimbine is much cleaner-feeling than yohimbine or the whole plant, yohimbe.
 
^never heard of alpha-yohimbine before. does it have pro-sexual effects? that was the reason i tried yohimbe in the first place, but i found it too unpleasant to use for that purpose.
 
I've never noticed any pro-sexual effects from yohimbe, yohimbine, or α-yohimbine. All are very powerful stimulants though, and not particularily pleasant ot euphoric. Perhaps useful for staying awake for long periods, since sleep is just about impossible while under the effects, which also wear off slowly, without the sudden crash of some stimulants.
 
remember 'red-balls' from dave chapelle lol
'Cocaine in a can baby!'

But seriosly fuck energy drinks EXCEPT when it comes to Jaeger bombing
 
I drink around 50 cans of Cola per month, which means 1 or 2 before going to my night classes.

I sometimes drink energy drinks like Monster and Redbull, but only on roadtrips like 1500km in 2 days + meetings on the road, and having to work after 2 hours of sleep after the road trip. When I drink 2-3 cans of Monster in a short time, it makes me feel paranoid, like if I was on speed.

I plan on trying BigBuzz and NOS energy drinks, I heard these are stronger.
I have a can of Monster in my fridge, but I keep it for a special occasion, having to wake up fast and such.
 
the Green Monster is my favorite energy drink next to Red bull. 3/4 of the regular size can does it for me . i get that shitty feeling when i drink anymore than 3/4
 
In all seriousness, all energy drinks like Monster, Rockstar, Red Bull, etc. don't even do shit to me. Now a redline...those fuckers are potent.
 
BSN Endrorush is insane - READ THE LABEL.

Xtreme Shock is also pretty nuts - yohimbie, synephrine, octopamine, caffeine, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine and a ton of niacin that gives you a skin flush.

Also as far as regular energy drinks go the BLUE rockstar Low carb is definately the most potent. 240mg of caffeine per can - so I get good energy from one with all the other stuff in it works in synergism.
