    Redbull. Well, energy drinks in general. People, it's just sugar water with caffeine. Nothing else.

    All the other things they put there are either innocuous or non-essential (such as taurine, an organic acid produced by your pancreas). The only ingredient there of some consequence is caffeine, that you can get from a cup of coffee that costs a tenth what a can of Redbull goes for.

    And the coffee doesn't come with a diabetes inducing 28 grams of sugar per can.

      Whenever I drink Red Bull, or other energy drinks, it's for the flavour. I absolutely love it, and I wish I could get it outside the realm of energy drinks.

        I like Monsters but for me coffee barely cuts it for me caffeine wise, the taste is good too! I did try the zero calorie/ zero sugar Monster and I probably would have fully enjoyed it if the flavor wasn't different.

        I agree. I'm aware that I could easily take a caffeine pill or down a cup of black coffee but I much prefer the taste of an energy drink. Plus I get sugar-free Red Bull.
