One Monster Energy Drink equals about
10 cups of coffee (caffein wise anyway). But there are certains stimulants in Energy Drinks that coffee doesn't have. But about four energy drinks equals about a gram of caffein, which is extremely horrible for you. It causes you to become paranoid, your heart to beat at en extremely fast rate, and you to usually feel ill or overheated, among other things. It clearly states that you shouldn't drink more than three drinks in a day, but of course, our rebellious youth and ignorant members of society prefer to drink 4-7 in a day. Now that's brilliance!
My two friends decided to have an energy drink contest once and bought about twenty Monster energy drinks. One of them almost had to be rushed to the hospital.
If you look at a RedLine energy drink label, you'll notice it doesn't list the amounts of ingredients it has. It has crosses where would see "Taurine 10%"... Does this mean they didn't feel like listing them, or "May God Have Mercy On Your Soul" to whoever drinks this? (When I get home I'll take a picture of my RedLine can and post it)
Along with the potential dangers of being addicted to these drinks, there's also price. The normal size is around 16oz. and costs about $2.00 per can. The new sizes ("The Tripple Stregth" size) are 24oz. and very from $2.50- $3.50. If you bought one normal sized Energy drink every day for a year that is about $730.00 a year just for Energy Drinks.

). It has 80mg. of caffeine, multiply that by three is 240mg. in the entire can. And supposedly Monsters have more caffeine in them but I went onto Wikipedia.com and looked it up and this is what I got:
