I absolutely love the Smashing Citrus from KillCliff but this is the second time this year they’ve gone OOS on it, and most of the drinks, with no ETA. Last time it was almost 3 months. Then, when they were back in stock they raised shipping charges but used a cheaper slower method so delivery took almost 2 weeks. So I think I’m done.
What else is good? No Monster crap. Something reasonably clean, good flavor, caffeine. I can get Jocko stuff locally so I’m leaving towards that but thought I would see what else is out there. |

That shit is going to kill you. At least go for coffee or tea.

Drinking a 1st Phorm energy drink for the first time right now and it tastes pretty good.

Black coffee is OK, sugar sweetened coffee makes me want to puke, a tbsp of heavy cream makes it great. The fat gives the coffee more substance. Give it a try over a few days. |

Espresso. Drink it as a shot. One in the morning doldrums and one in the early afternoon if you need it. Chase or with a pint of water. You'll save a ton of money and probably your kidneys.

coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day with the occasional glass of milk. I was hooked on monsters for literal YEARS. Pretty much from my time in Iraq in 07 until a few years ago. I'm lucky that shit didn't kill me, but God only knows the damage it done. I've really turned my health around in the last few years and feel and look amazing in my late 30s now. OP, get off that poison.

Celsius has a lot of good flavors. Sweetened with splenda, which is not the worst.

Have never seen or heard of Kill Cliff.
Sugar-free Red Bull or Ghost are what I get if I need a pick me up. |

C4 bomb pop or blue raspberry flavor. Got the beta alinine that makes your face tingle and gives you good focus and pumps in the gym. Even if you don’t workout the focus is still better than normal energy drinks. Drinking them 4 times a week for the gym is too expensive and I just make my own pre workout and drink coffee.

At least they aren’t run by lefties. They have a hunting and shotgun theme. |

Liquid IV Energy, I’m not fond that it has sugar though.
I used to drink energy drinks (the canned can), the doc who did my colonoscopy told me to quit drinking them, they are horrible for you. I feel A LOT better since I quit them… Both mentally and physically. |

If you're drinking the no sugar variety of energy drinks, what particular ingredients in them are so bad for you? Obviously you have to keep your total daily caffeine intake in account.

If you’re not smoking meth, you’re not even trying
Actually, I’ve taken a liking to nicotine gum and chai. The caffeine is more subdued |

Crystal Meth.
My neighbors aren't huge fans, but I know damn well what they are up to. They aren't fooling me. |

Another vote for black coffee, then water.
The meth vote might be right too - No experience with that one. |

gorilla mind energy drinks are good
goat fuel is pretty good as well |

Kill Cliff is VERY frustrating with their stock issues.
Their CBD flavors G.O.A.T and Flaming Joe are so good. I've been a huge fan of Drink Delta in the absence of KC, but that's a different category of drinks altogether. Celsius has been my caffeine pop go-to when I don't want coffee. |

5 hour energy shots.
Those big ass energy drink are too much and too filling. |

Yerba Mate enlightened mint
Gives me a lift without the jitters and no crash. Bang if I'm feeling toxic. |

The only Monster that is acceptable is teh lemonade/tea rehab drink.
While in Switzerland I tried the Red Bull Winter edition, probably because the label was in German because it's pear and cinnamon flavored and I never would have bought that if I had known but holy crap it's actually really good. 9/10 of the time though I just make Matcha flavor green tea with a touch of cream. |

Cliffs were pretty good..I think they don't use fake sugar which is nice and hard to find
