I've always liked AMP. It has the better taste, imho. Never like Monster, Rockstar or RedBull, though I used to RedBull.

AMP - 9
Monster - 4
Rockster - 4
RedBull - 2
Kickstart - 3

Caffeine has never had much of an effect on me as I've drank too much soda in my life. I can drink any energy drink and go to sleep easily, so I can't really give my opinion on energy levels, though RedBull is supposed to have the most.

There is no "best used for". It is all just marketing. If you look at the ingredients, they are close to being the same.

And don't drink them too often. I limit myself to two a week and only if there is a need for it. Had a friend that developed heart murmurs (two or more Monster/Rockstar a day). Doctor told him to stop the energy drinks and he did. The murmurs went away too.

However, Caffeine is bad for you and working out after drinking one will only make working out a little more meaningless. I also think your heart is still growing at that age, and it states on the can that kids under 13 shouldn't drink them. Ask your parents for one every now and then, but don't make excuses for working out, like drinking an energy drink with high calories will help.

And the zero calorie stuff is just plain nasty.

No.

Rockstar punched is the most based drink ever.

The Monster Protein Shakes are pretty nice pre workout too. Expected them to taste horrible but they're actually better tasting than the mix I normally buy...shame they're so expensive.

Please explain how this "addictive" legal drug is not bad for anyone.

And "Because it makes me feel good" isn't the answer.

Coffee > all energy drinks.

Using caffeine for extended periods and then stopping can produce withdrawal symptoms, usually a sign of an addictive substance. It also gives you a temporary energy rush that can lead to a crash and the need to ingest more.

Don't stop.

I like RedBull 100% and my new found friend is actually Kickstart Black Cherry. All the rest I would never touch.Monster bad, bad Monster! Caffeine has been shown to be good for you in small quantities but remember too much of a good thing is bad. They did not have "energy drinks" when I was your age. About all we had was something called Jolt which went out of business recently. It was like coca cola with extra caffeine. Keep lifting ! Go the Gym! Rage! So RedBull 10 for the Gym. Kickstart 10 for studying/gaming. Neither lasts very long though. 1 or 2 hours for me. I weigh 180lbs. and have a fast metabolism.

It can also kill in some quantities, depending on what you are drinking, even Green Tea.
