Monster. I just don't get it.

I had to try a Monster energy drink just to see what the hype was all about. It was the nastiest chemical slurry I've ever tasted, and didn't really get a 'buzz'. It was the flavor with the green M on the can. Yeah, I don't drink soda and I'm old, but still I don't get it. I must be missing something.
 
I'm 24 and a college student. Many of my friends live on that stuff. I will never touch it, it is horrible for you. I know people who sleep 1 or 2 hours a day and just drink that constantly. I can't imagine that is healthy.
 
I tried it once on a long drive I had to make and needed a boost as the evening came along. I felt awesome after I drank it and thought wow, this stuff really works great, and then the crash came after about 2 hours and I was done and had to pull off the road to sleep. That was the first and last time I drank it.

It isn't. There's no part of that plan that is anything but bad (though the sleep deprivation is worse).

Personally Monster tastes way better than coffee to me. There is a Starbucks on my walk at lunch and walk at night by my house and I have to hold my breath past them because the smell makes me nauseous. Never have had a cup in my life, forced myself to taste coffee a few times and threw up.
 
The strong taste of energy drinks does well to cover the flavor of vodka. Besides that, if I've got a long drive, they will keep me wired more than coffee alone. I rarely drink them now-a-days, though. They cannot be good for anyone.
 
I prefer Monster White Can, but like the Absolute Zero and Low Carb. I will not drink the full sugar one.

I can't drink coffee very hot, so it takes a good 30-45 minutes minimum, so I prefer Monster since I can drink it now.

You do have to be careful, they say don't drink more than 2 or so a day for a reason.

I'm assuming the drive is without vodka ...
