      My coworkers basically live off of Monster energy drinks. Those energy drinks mess with my heart too much, so I stay far away.

      I have ADHD and energy drinks have been helping me focus when I don’t have access to meds. Somehow Monster is the cheapest among the select few brands that I actually like the taste of (and a lot of people shit on it because of the taste – I guess it shows how subjective it is). I’m not happy about financially supporting a corp that makes money on getting people addicted to sugar, but I can’t deny the effects the drinks have on me

        Does coffee not work? It’s about $8 a month for me if I make it at home.

        I do pour over in a chemex, a full pot (6 cups) lasts 3 days, and lives in the fridge, just gotta remember to make it the night before if you want it iced.

      Sometimes I’m curious as to the taste, but it only come in half liters and I would most likely toss out most of that, so I’ve never bothered

      • Redbull, Rockstar, and Monster all taste about the same; but IDK if the ingredients–like taurine–are the same outside the US or if that would alter the taste significantly.

          Taurine is in red bull over here, so it should be in monster. I would probably try one had they smaller sizes.
