I wonder if drinking 4 of the 23.1/2 cans in one day is too very bad for you. Keep in mind that I work hard for about 8 hours at work.

I don't know if it is bad but seems kind of stupid to me. I can live without them, why must you spend 4 dollars a day on something that just cracks you out?

It seems to have 1000mg of Taurine per 16oz., not sure if 4000mg of it is healthy, but doesn't look great among everything else in there.

4 is too much.

You want to die?

Each can is about 2x the size of a redbull can. You are drinking 8 redbulls, but Monster has way more than Redbull.

You are dead.

i drank the equivalent of 4 of those in a 12 hour period once... let's just say that i went through a painful caffiene withdrawal.

There is a low carb version that tastes good and only has 10 a serving.

Much better for you then pop since you get lots of good stuff with it.

I used to drink them daily. One or two, but four is insane.

I've cut my caffeine consumption down to one cup of coffee per day. All that stuff in the Monsters is _NOT_ good for your body.

I normally sleep 6 hours per night. When I cut them out, I slept for 15 hours nightly for 4 nights in a row, if that gives you any idea what kind of sleep deprivation they were causing. They may not keep you awake at night, but your body never falls asleep deeply enough to do what it needs to do.

But I know, they do taste damn good... and they do keep you very aware and sharp. But as a long-term daily thing I don't think it's the best idea.

P.S. be prepared to take many, many aspirin if you suddenly stop drinking them. It will probably take a couple of days to hit because of the sheer amount of crap left in you :)

I paid the price, didn't sleep the whole night, felt fine till about noon, then wam. hangover and burned out. I felt like crap.

never again, now I limit myself to two cans and no more after midnight
