I like the Monster Punch series. There are only two kinds, a red one and purple one (I can NEVER remember the name). It’s not actually punch, just the name of it. I’ve trued Redbull but that stuff tastes like absolute shit to me. I’ve never been able to stomach any drink the had that in it.
I went through an energy drink phase for sure in my teens. I preferred Red Bull and probably still do (if I was forced to drink an energy drink xD), although I had this really weird time where I'd LOVE the taste of a monster first thing in the morning after I got off the train and it mixed with the toothpaste flavor in my mouth from brushing my teeth.... It was delicious LOL
Nowadays though I prefer tea for my caffeine. I've always been sensitive to caffeine and tea is just so enjoyable. Right now asian style milk tea is my favorite. With just a tiny bit of sweetness!
Anyone remember Redline from around 98-02, They had to change the formula because it was giving people heart attacks, I believe it killed more than one person, It had a high amount of yoshimbe (spelling). I drank the whole bottle not realizing it was anything more than 'jolt cola' Big mistake I had to go home from work early that day.
I’m in Thailand now. I can’t get Rock Star. Now I just drink Pepsi Max. It’s a non-sugar Pepsi drink. Sucks compared to Rock Star. We have Red Bull here, but I can’t drink the sugar ones and that’s all they offer.
I prefer monster for the taste, but ive really getting into Bangs and Reigns. I personally prefer Reign, i think it taste a bit better. Nothing like monster, but if im correct, its zero calories, and really keeps me up. Would recommend a try.

Anyways I have to get ready to go on my run, it's been fun talking
@shoutback:
I think when we have open discourse without preconceptions we all agree more than we disagree
D@drdrizzy13:
Oh I totally agree and I agree the War on Drugs was and is a complete failure.
@shoutback:
I'm not trying to say my point of view is better than others, just think we need to have more open and honest discussion about everything
D@drdrizzy13:
You are right it probably doesn't. It has pretty much ruined my other first cousins live. He is so out there. It just sucks to see ya know. They take it to the extreme.
@shoutback:
@drdrizzy13 your exoerience does not reflect the overall mainstream
@shoutback:
This is one of the few places in the internet where we can freely discuss this things and taking reactive stance like fentanyl and zenes are the devil do not promote a heathy discourse on the subject, though I understand admin also does not want to be under constant threat of people like the dea and fda
D@drdrizzy13:
Honestly I can't think of any alcohoclis except for a friends Dad. I haven't drank in 10 years. I don't really hang around peole that drink or go to bars. I just hate being around drunks lol. And going to bars sucks if your not drinking too.
@shoutback:
We don't work on something and do not continue developing with developing safeguards and appropriate treatment methods we adapt to what we learn. How many people do you know with alcohol addictions ? How many violent rapes and murders do we see happen under someone under the influence of alcohol yet alcohol is not demonized in the way fentanyl is and that affects much less people. Let's not be hypocritical. The prohibition model does not work and this is no place where we should be promoting it
@shoutback:
They would not been sought after by mainstream users if things like heroin were not so criminalized
D@drdrizzy13:
portugal demcrined drugs in 2001 for personal use. It worked for a while. They saw less ODs but now it says in recent years it has scene an increase in ODs and drug related crime. So i guess it worked there for a couple of decades lol
@shoutback:
All drugs, every single one. The manner of dispensing them might be different but acrimilization and demonization is just terrible in practice and it's inmho genocidal behavior. What we are seeing with the fentanyl and zene crisis is an actual failing of these laws
