I didn't feel the need to go into that detail, but now you have said it. I wonder if they have ever given a diabetic the placebo.....

its all hype and kids wanting to look cool drinking them, there is no sutch thing a liquid energy. its all bs. but hey, it makes people buy their product, and it dosent taste bad. so its basically a "bad ass" soda, i dont fall for it, but w/e just my 2 cents

I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but you say that, and your display pic if a Nike check.
sorry but i dont understand what you mean, i wear their shoes biking, and another pair of casual, its no different than someone displaying a pic of a kona or khs logo as their headshot. im just displaying a brand im happy with and use. im not saying that who ever buys monster is dumb and falling for a trap, im just saying that there is no such thing a liquid energy. just my oppinions, im sure you support a brand to, everyone does. it can be cars, shoes, bikes, anything.

i say they dont teach you much in the states. firstly your body converts sugar to energy therefore pop is liquid energy. even though its not pure energy it still gives you energy. try pulling an all nighter and drinking 2L of coke. itll probably make you sick but it'll keep you up all night

it dosen't give you energy it just helps with fatigue, and if you do get energy you're falling for the placebo effect

personally i prefer water. but of all the energy drinks ive ever tasted, monster is the most bearable, and has the coolest image.

you know that most of those "monster" and "redbull" and "gatorade" bottles the pros use at the ends of races (not only in biking) are usually actually filled with water, and it's all just advertisement.
Yup, water for the win. I just make my own "gatorade" (water, salt and some lemon juice for taste) and it's much better (taste/health/efficiency) than any of those energy drinks

energy drinks are all the same the best thing to drink in my opinion is water, and energy drinks just dehydrate you

i like the gatorade G2 i feel it hydrates me and its only 30 cals per 250ml which is better than their regular stuff that is like 110 or 120. pretty much tastes the same too. as for energy drinks i bought 2 250ml redbulls from 7-11 cause they were on sale and downed them both in a matter of 5 mins. probably wasnt the best idea. as i was riding i developed a brutal headache and then as soon as i got home i shat out everything i had eaten in the past week. its kinda funny but needless to say id never buy red bull again.

personally my fav is rockstar vodka. i wouldnt recommend drinking before a ride tho.
