so im sure a lot of us drink these things. Ive had a few. Ive stuck to all the fan favorites like Red bull and Monster.. but there are a few out there that are actually pretty tasty..
I enjoy the sugar free ones. I noticed after a while of drinking the same energy drink i dont get the same effect from them. I started to rotate energy drinks and well lets say im jittering right now as im typing. Yeah some people dont like the effect but i kinda do.. makes me feel like i can keep on going
.
Red Bull (SF) - I enjoy the taste, i like the sharpness of the drink too.. the carbonation is a little above normal but i like the crisp taste of it.
Monster (SF) - blue monster can. Its good, flavor can be better but its drinkable. Gets some of the job but its more of a mellow wake me up.
Xyience - Xenergy Mango Guava (SF) - this one i drank today and damn! i feel the jitter. the taste is great! actually tastes like something i can enjoy. Will definitely buy again!
Xyience - Xenergy Blu Pom (SF) - purple can - just like its sibling Mango Guava this has a good taste. This pomegranate taste is very strong. Almost tastes like it does have sugar. One of the most "sugar" like taste. It picks me up like its sibling but the taste is bolder. The pick me up is kicking in as I'm drinking it. Over all i would buy this one again.

AMP - Green can (SF) - Great taste.. good pick me up. I would rank this one pretty high on taste and it has a good pick up.
AMP - Yellow Can (SF) - Lemonade taste!! its good! actually does have a great taste. Also ranked high on taste and a little kick.
AMP - Yellow can - Engergy Lightning (with sugar) - Compared to the sugar free, i like the sugar free better. The sugar gives it some flavor but it seems like its trying to hard. The sugar free gives it a better crisp taste. It hasnt kicked in yet and ive been working on this drink for about 40 mins now. Dont drink it warm as it loses its taste.

5 Hour energy Drink - Its ok. I dont really feel the wake me up its a very mellow wake me up feeling. I like the rush from the full drinks.
High Throttle - Orange taste - i had this one cuz my buddy gave me a box of them. This was not sugar free but was tasty. I haven't had it in a long time but we shall see if i find it again and update this drink
Rock Star - Energy Drink - Double Strength/Double Size - The taste is not the best. its a very bold taste but it tastes like Cough Syrup at the beginning. My mind thinks im drinking medicine because of the unique taste that cough syrup has had through out the years. take a big gulp and the syrup taste goes to the end of the tasting line and slowly creeps up as the final after taste.
No jitter yet but im still waiting for it to kick in. Will wait a bit to update this review.

Rock Star - Zero Carb - blue can (SF) - tastes like raspberry without sugar. Very mellow taste but good enough to give your taste buds something to enjoy. I havent had this drink before and im feeling it work within 15 minutes of drinking it. I started at 7:05am and its 7:30am now and the can is about 1/3 full. Feeling my mind ready to burst into action. Over all id drink it again.

NOS High performance Energy Drink - Fruit punch - Red can - with sugar - Picked this drink with sugar in it because i wanted to change it up
. The taste is pretty mellow even with he sugar. I feel like the drink is trying but i don't think its kicking in like the rest. The sugar isnt affecting me as i though it would when compared to the non sugar drinks. Would i buy this one again? .. probably not. EDIT: so after i drank this drink i felt a bit more alert. However it wasnt an exciting or jittery alert. One thing this drink did make me do is pee every 15 mins.

Monster - Sugar Free - Ground Zero - Black can with blue/purple colors *SF - This drink is very similar to the plain blue zero carb drink. Monster always gives me that feeling like i should have gotten more of out my energy drink. The wake up isnt as strong as some of the rest its more subtle than anything else. To me its more of a drink to sip on rather than to wake me up. The taste is pretty neutral but an acquired taste is needed to really "enjoy" this drink. I would buy again(the blue can), but its more out of habit.

Rotate drinks it helps throw your body off and you will feel like the energy is working as it should. I will be trying random different drinks and ill report what i like and how they taste
Maybe this will help any Vegas people who want to try something different.. but knowing the little Vegas shops they will probably only carry all the popular brands.
