    At walmart....its tasty. I'm more into the things like Fast Twitch and pre workout energy things...the ones with boku amounts of caffeine. ^^^ has 200 mg in the can. I could drink another one right now before feeling it....but never have been addicted to caffeine or soda.

    monster unfortunately. i bought a 24 pack at costco for $27 haha. I wouldn't say I'm "addicted", because i do limit how often i have one, but like Carl said it's more for the taste than anything. I back up 5 hour energy more than anything when it comes to needing a boost though, I attribute my ACT score to that little red bottle lmao :D

    EDIT: also forgot about pre-workout stuff like super pump and noexplode, that shit is crazy before a workout!

    One Monster a day for the past (almost) two years. I need to quit!! My skin is crap, and the "high" has worn off. Stepped from the green (sugar) one to the blue and the purple/blue. They seem to last only about an hour or so now, when they used to last about 4.

    How do you quiiiiiiiiiiit????

    Whole different game.... haha. Alcoholism runs in my family. I find caffeine addiction to be much less destructive.

    I used to be a dock manager at fedEx and I'd buy red bull at Sams club. It was the only way to get through the 11 hour days, 120 degrees, on your feet, running jumping, climbing and everything else.

    I was so addicted to caffeine that I had to have a mountain dew at night just to settle my body down so it could fall asleep. Those days were bad.

    Now, just 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning

    It's definitely a generational thing. I have never been into the energy drink fad. It seems though that my father in law has to drink five or six cups of coffee just to get going so age seems to be a factor into who consumes what.

    Never had one...only a sip of a redbull once.

    I have plenty of energy. I drink a cup of coffee in the morning when I get to work and unsweet tea for lunch, that's the extent of my caffeine intake for a day.

    Eat the right diet and SLEEP and you will be amazed at how much energy you have.

    I have a buddy who drinks two grande iced coffees w/ double shots every morning and drinks about 2-3 energy drinks a day. He wonders why he has trouble sleeping at night...:rolleyes:

    I stay away from energy drinks but still carry a 5 hour energy with me at night just in case I'm falling asleep. Take a small sip just enough to keep me awake to make it some where safe to park and sleep for the night.
