With Bang energy drinks ostensibly becoming harder to find, at least for a little bit, what are the best replacements? Monster Ultra offers the best flavor(s) I've had and still has low calories (though not quite zero, like bang), but has less than half the caffeine.

I think this is a signal to stop drinking energy drinks

so do all the bodybuilders, gymrats and nutritionists that switched to drinking it en masse at some point. I went to a college where basically 50% of students were personal trainers with sports medicine degrees and reign caused a cultural phenomenon when it came out because it was healthier than all the other cans but did the same thing.

How is it any healthier than other low or no cal energy drinks? They're all just flavoring + caffeine + taurine + b vitamins + creatine + zero calorie sweetener

More nutrients than the other cans have and way less of the artificial sweetener / preservatives, along with using different preservative chemicals that other cans skimp out on and give you the cheaper version of. They all try to look the same but compare the ingredients list on both cans and it's a staggeringly large difference.
It's one of those products like lifearmor where you can totally just go get the poorcel version like some Gatorade offshoot that offers the same shit like taurine and amino acids and same health claims but has sketchy chemical sludge in it that corporate america would mass feed Indonesians or Haitians, or you can pony up the cost and get a version that won't give your future children the 'tisms.

It’d take seriousposting energy to go any further and provide links and proper names for the chems I’m talking about so frick that.
Looked up the ingredients and they both use the same sweeteners and preservatives, reign just uses less than bang or monster / redbull does.

imo the best flavor/calories/caffeine content ratio is the white rockstar. It's zero or ten calories,
260240 mg caffeine, and tastes like a more citrusy white monster. Also it doesn't have creatine which is important if you're going to drink it before sitting at a desk or driving all day. They also tend to be cheaper than monster, I regularly find them 2 for $2 or 3 for $5Jump in the discussion.

It's 10 and iirc 140mg, not 260. Could be wrong though. Bang had some meme creatine or no creatine at all, and let's be real, everyone has creatine at home anyways, so that's not really a concern. I have seen monster ultra flats at coscto, so will likely get that unless someone makes a good case for one of the other brands.

Naw homie, I just checked and it's 240. The "Silver Ice" one, not the regular rockstar lite or whatever.

I'm pretty sure the main factor affecting coffee caffeine content is the species and the specific plant. The sublimation point of caffeine is quite high but it's extremely water soluble to the point where you can extract it as cold brew. If you really care about caffeine content you should drink concentrated cold brew or robusta like they do in vietnam, but it tastes like burnt tires without milk and sugar.

Done right it's not bad. Thats why viets put lechera in their coffee, but robusta is quite cheap if you can find an asian brand and has roughly twice the caffeine content as arabica. It's also the primary filler in cheap butt latinx preground espressro like Bustelo or Cafe la Llave, which is partially why those have such an aggressive flavor compared to something like folgers or dunkin.

Yeah, well maybe if you actually knew what you were talking about, you would know that the main factor affecting coffee caffeine content is the ROAST, you idiot. The sublimation point of caffeine has NOTHING to do with it. If you want to get technical, dark roasts have LESS caffeine because the beans are roasted longer and the caffeine is burned off. So if you really care about caffeine content, you should drink LIGHT roast coffee. But I'm guessing you don't really care about caffeine content, you just like to hear yourself talk.

Coffee is usually it for me most days, but if I'm running on low sleep or don't feel great I find it to be a little hard on my stomach.

Wild Tiger. Don't know where you can find it in the states, but back in Iraq that was what fueled the US Military. You'd roll into the local town, sweating because you're carrying 100 pounds of plate armor and gear and it's hot as Satan's female tits, and blessings unto Allah some local at the market you're supposed to be patrolling would produce a silver can with a tiger and the phrase "Total Activation", along with a bunch of haji chicken scratch on it. You'd gratefully open it, drink the lukewarm liquid, and suddenly feel powerful enough to take on all of ISIS with just your peepee and an M240.

The recent lawsuit they lost requires they recall every can labeled with "Super Creatine" and also they have to switch distributors, so they're disappearing from places for a little bit, depending where you are
