    is a Monster energy drink ok to have say every 1-2 weeks?
    I have anxiety issues, so I know I shouldn't really be drinking these things, but I either get a sugar free monster or amp. If I have one every once in a while can it screw up my system?

    How old do you have to be to buy monster energy drink?
    i was at a football game and the monster guys were giving out free monsters and they said i was to young and im 13 HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Not being legally controlled, there is no minimum age. A three-year-old could buy it if she could count the right amount of money and give it to the cashier.

      However, heavily caffeinated drinks are not considered appropriate for children (at least in the US) which is why they wouldn't give you one. You really don't need that much caffeine - a can of Monster is equivalent to two cups of coffee or five cans of Coke.

  20. QUESTION:
    Can i burn 500 calories at the gym right now and have a Monster energy drink with no guilt?
    I'm about to go on the treadmil for an hour and burn 500 calories. I love Monsters and I only have them after I work out so I can have them almost guilt free. (I'm not looking to gain any weight, just remain at my same weight.) Is 500 calories good enough to consume one monster guilt free?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, I depends on how much you drink. 8 oz. = 100 calories. 8oz.= 1/2 pound. Calculate how many calories it is in the Monster drink and add to 500. That is how many calories you must burn.

  25. QUESTION:
    Is it legal for a energy drink company to give out energy drinks on school property?
    There are marketing guys that drive around in jeeps to drop off a load of free energy drinks at my college that are not sold in stores. The marketing guys left very quickly so Im assuming it might not be legal for them to give out free health deteriorating drink. The second the marketer guys say "Hey want some free energy drinks?" a huge crowd try to get their hands on it. They consume it because it is free despite how bad the drink is for their health and its side effect. It was just sad watching all these kids drink that horrible stuff.....I bet it would make no difference if it were medical marijuana that these guys were giving out.

    Anyways, my question is it legal for energy drink companies to do this? Theyre doing this in many colleges in the US. Monster Energy drink marketing guys gave out about 200-300 free drinks at a local college in Washington last year....They also came by my work place to drop off 10 coffee energy drinks a few months ago....Can't they get in trouble for this?

    • ANSWER:
      That is legal and really not immoral since it is a college. College students should know better than to consume that rubbish.

  26. QUESTION:
    how many free stickers will monster energy send me if i ask for some?

    • ANSWER:
      If you ask and have a compelling reason (e.g., a student club) they might send a few things. You don't know until you try though. Not much point asking us, we don't work there.

  27. QUESTION:
    About sugar free energy drinks?
    Will sugar free energy drinks like monster make you gain/retain weight? I work out everyday. My job has me walking house to house "meter reader" and I train over 25 hours a week doing mma, lifting ,running. I still lose no weight. I drink 2 maybe 3 enegry drinks a day one at 5 am one at 10 and maybe one in the afternoon. Is it really that bad.

    • ANSWER:
      Monster has 110 calories per serving. There are 2 servings in the regular cans. So if you are drinking 3 of those a day you are consuming 660 calories. That is a lot of calories even with someone as active as you.

      Three is also 80mg of caffeine per serving. Caffeine dehydrates us and depletes us of B vitamins. When dehydrated we feel tired and B vitamins are essential for energy. The amount that most energy drinks put in either just replace what is lost or not really much more to improve your energy levels.

      Sugar free drinks available in the stores are better. They have about 10 calories per serving. However the caffeine is still there. I would highly recommend ones like the caffeine free XS energy drinks. These are healthy ones, with 8 calories per serving. They have much more of the B vitamins than regular energy drinks do.

      Before that though it is imperative to get enough water. It is a natural energizer. Also taking a good quality multi B complex may help reduce how many energy drinks you may need in a day. Also using a good quality ginseng with ginko biloba increases energy too. Then there is the Rhodiola 110 supplement used for Sports Nutrition energy levels.

      I recommend cutting back on the energy drinks to no more than 2 per day. With regular ones you are getting 480mg of caffeine. The maximum safe daily intake of caffeine is only 300mg. Over that causes many problems and the longer it is over consumed the worse it will be. Even beyond the plain caffeine there are just so many combined stimulants in them. Even the healthy ones like the caffeine free versions from XS should be limited to just 2 servings a day.

      Contact me if you have any other questions.

  28. QUESTION:
    Are Sugar Free Energy Drinks bad for you?
    Im addicted. I have to have one a day and limit myself to one a day. I only drink the Sugar Free Rockstar or Monster so Im not consuming too much caffeine or sugar, so is this bad?

    I get up at 5am to workout/run for a hour so Im quite exhausted throughout the day and need coffee and a energy drink for a quick pick me up.

    • ANSWER:
      I think if you're limiting yourself to just 1 per day and there is no sugar in them you're fine, it's just like drinking a can and a half of diet soda with caffeine. If you truly are addicted though that's not a good thing. I'd look for alternatives at that point.

  29. QUESTION:
    Way Too Much Monster Energy Drink...What Is It Going To Do?
    My uncle has a very "addictive" personality. He does have a past of substance abuse, and in the past year has come clean from excessive use of pain killers, marijuana, and alcohol. In supplement of these past supplements, he now drinks at least 7 24 oz..that's right, I said SEVEN...cans of Monster Energy Drinks. He does drink the low calorie, sugar free ones, but they still contain 195mg of caffeine PER CAN. He has done this for over a year...almost every single day. Is he on a path to death because of this caffeine intake? Please let me know what could be going on in his body...if anything. Let me note that the only physical signs that I can see is that he has gained a lot of weight. Not sure if that applies. Thank you for helping!

    • ANSWER:
      Good for your uncle! That is a major thing to do right there - not easy either.
      7 energy drinks a day is not good, however. The weight gain may be an indicator of some sort of metabolic problem which may be why he is drinking so many energy drinks. I would suggest he get a simple blood workup done by his physician, and maybe throw in a thyroid function test. Drugs can cause permanent damage, and sometimes the thyroid will not function normally after quitting. This can cause low-energy and weight gain.
      It is possible that he is using the energy drinks to get a "high" also. Too much caffeine can be dangerous under the right conditions... if he has heart trouble or high blood pressure, the excessive caffeine (as well as the ginseng and other ingredients in energy drinks) may cause irregular heartbeats.
      Time for your uncle to get a good physical done and try to find something else to drink!
      Good luck.
      :)

  30. QUESTION:
    Is this Monster Energy thing true?
    this kid i know from school said if you get 1,000 things off of the monster energy drink cans (i mean like the little thing with the monster logo you use to open it, idk what they're actually called) then you send all them into monster and they send you a free monster stickers in the mail? is that true? me and my friend didn't believe him because my friend had a monster and apparently he just happened to have 999 on that day so he needed one more. is it true?

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, the "little thing with the monster logo you use to open it" is called a tab.
      && secondly, I highly doubt its true that if you send in 1k monster tabs they will give you a sticker. It would cost about two thousand [plus] dollars less to just go buy the stupid sticker, instead of buying a thousand monsters.
      Fuck that.

  34. QUESTION:
    Monster Energy and Red Bull Sugar Free Consumed in a 24 hour time period...?
    Well, I have been drinking Red Bull for about two months now (I do not take over one a day, and I ONLY have it over weekends), and yesterday around 6 PM, I drank a Red Bull sugar free. Now I got the Monster energy stuff, like the 16 fl. oz., and I have taken only about three sips. Since I drank the Red Bull Sugar Free last night, and if I finish this monster, that would make two energy drinks in one day... Now just one question: can two in one day harm you? Especially this Monster that is about more than 2x bigger than the Red Bulls? If it can harm you, I guess I can just go ahead and put it back in the fridge. Please respond soon before I finish lol

  37. QUESTION:
    Which energy drink is not as bad for you?
    I like Red Bull Sugar Free and Monster Lo-Carb. I know that energy drinks have a lot of caffiene, and that they're not a healthy every day drink. But if i were to get one every once in a while, which one is not as bad for you as the other?

    • ANSWER:
      Monster Lo-Carb is probably the best. Add tea bags such as green tea and white tea in the Monster Lo-Carb, it's healthier that way. Think about it. Tea has caffeine, right? They say tea is healthy, so it shouldn't be different when drinking energy drinks. But if you add tea to them, it's much more beneficial. I suggest you to get triangular green/white tea bags that has fruit flavors such as strawberry, mango, etc that will make the Monster Lo-Carb taste good!

  42. QUESTION:
    Is is ok to drink carb free energy drinks while on the Atkins diet?
    For example like Rockstars and Monsters? They have no carbs or sugars on the label so I would imagine they would be ok but I want to hear from somebody who has knowledge with this diet.

    Educated answers only please and if you leave a link to some affiliate site I will report you as spam immediately. Thanks.
    After reading my question I realized I wasn't giving enough details. When I say rockstars or monsters I mean the carb free version of them. Not the original but they actually make diet, carb free Rockstars and monsters.

    • ANSWER:
      I would suggest not using them for the first 2 weeks, you can experiment later. Citric acid found in many commercial drinks can disrupt ketosis. If you are past induction, you can try it but if you have no weight loss while drinking them, it's probably due to the citric acid.

      Acetyl Coenzyme A (CoA) is an extremely important biological molecule which is right at the hub of carbohydrate metabolism. Both carbohydrates and fats can be metabolized to produce energy, and acetyl-CoA is central to keeping the balance between these two. This process is called the Citric Acid Cycle (or the Krebs cycle) because citric acid (or more precisely, the citrate ion) is one of the key chemicals in the series of reactions

      There is no reason to ever go off a low carb way of eating, you slowly re introduce carbs to your way of eating & as long as you don't exceed 9grams of carbs an hour (144 carbs a day) you won't trigger insulin (the fat storage hormone) no matter the calories. Most of us do low carb most of the time & if we cheat & slip back into low carb the next day.

      The rungs to reintroduction of carbs in 5 gram units - all available to very active people in as little as 11 weeks. Make sure you do them in order & you can skip a rung if you do not intend to include it in your permanent way of eating, such as the alcohol rung.:
      * (minimum week 3 - maximum 25grams day) Acceptable vegetables, larger quantities
      * (minimum week 4 - maximum 30grams day) Add 5grams Fresh cheese
      * (minimum week 5 - maximum 35grams day) Add 5grams Nuts and seeds
      * (minimum week 6 - maximum 40grams day) Add 5grams Berries
      * (minimum week 7 - maximum 45grams day) Alcohol can be added if desired
      * (minimum week 8 - maximum 50grams day) Add 5grams Legumes
      * (minimum week 9 - maximum 55grams day) Add 5grams Other fruits
      * (minimum week10 - maximum 60grams day) Add 5grams Starchy vegetables
      * (minimum week11 - maximum 65grams day) Add 5grams Whole grains
      If you are continuing to lose or maintain (whichever is goal) in week 12 & beyond, you continue to add 5grams a day per week til you reach your personal carb level.

      Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.

      You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you'll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

      Your body won't release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow your metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release it's fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food.

      Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) and exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.

      The core of the Atkins program is converting your body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). You need to keep your fat levels at >65% of your calories, if you don't your body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).

      It takes about 3 days to convert your body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis) you will probably feel sluggish the first week but most people feel better than ever thereafter.

      Carbohydrates trigger insulin (the ONLY fat storage hormone). Protein triggers the fat burning hormone glucagon.

      High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise.

      Ground flax seed (4 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 min for daily fiber needs.

      The first 2 weeks you can have several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers and more variety of vegetables thereafter add 5 grams per day additional (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) every week. As long as you remain <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, & shouldn't gain weight no matter the calories, because insulin the only fat storage hormone is not triggered.

  46. QUESTION:
    Family Member’s BF owns a Gas Station/Convenience Store a Block or 2 from a High School. What do Teens want?
    Long story short, if I help him out, I’ll keep getting free Monster Energy Drink (Blue) and if I come up with some good ideas, I’m hoping to get a gig as the Web Master or paid for Advertising/Graphics Design, etc.

    I’m trying to think of things that the Demographic of 14-19 year olds would want.
    (Other than Booze and Smokes, I’m talking LEGAL things.)

    Energy Drinks.
    Soda.
    “Munchies”.
    Magazines.

    Thinking like a 14-19 year old, what would you look for in the morning or afternoon (before school/after school) with this place being so close to the school?

    What about Coupons?

    “Buy 2 Red Bulls Get 1 FREE!”
    “Get a free small coffee with purchase of .00!”
    “Buy 9 coffees get one FREE!”

    What sort of thing would make you, your kids, etc. want to go in and be a customer?

    Would you go to a website if it offered “Deals” and Printable Coupons?

    If you have a second, could you list any SPECIFICS?

    What would get you in there?

    • ANSWER:
      A few fresh baked options, donuts

      A few fresh fruit options, apple, bananas

      Pizza by the slice

      Sunglasses, sunscreen, mini-fans, Chapstick type stuff

      A few school supplies, for an emergency

      Water

      Maybe a frequent buyer card. (one punch per or something.) When the card is full give a credit or a treat.

  47. QUESTION:
    Contact information for energy drinks?

    I work for a hug hotrod shop and these guys relay on these drinks to get them through the day. im wanting to find a number for a sales rep or whoever I need to to get a machine or sponsor us with free drinks....

    Monster
    Rockstar
    NOS

    www.myspace.com/houseofhotrods

    • ANSWER:
      Check the drink container on each of these. Get out your glasses - it's usually in really small print. There should be a contact phone number to call for customers. They should be able to put you in touch with the sales department.

      I don't drink the ones you're asking about, but the ones I do drink all have consumer information phone numbers and websites on them.

      Hope you can get them to give you some freebies.

      I just checked out your myspace. Nice page - and you're in the Metroplex to boot!

  48. QUESTION:
    Is drinking too much Monster or Red Bull bad for the heart?
    I drink at least one 16oz Monster or Red Bull a day, but sometimes ill drink 2. I was wondering if there were any health problems that could result from consuming a energy drink on a daily basis. Im not sure if it matters but when i do drink Red Bull it is usually sugar-free and the Monster is usually low-carb. I also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      anything not natural is bad for your health, and since energy drinks are still relatively new to the market we dont know the long term effects of them. But what i do know is that you can overdose on caffeine, leading to heart attack and other problems related to the heart. just dont drink 10 redbulls a day...

  49. QUESTION:
    Am I sick? Or just have a cold?
    Well, basically 2 days ago I woke up with a "scratchy" throat. And a runny nose like water. Now today I still have the scratchy throat a little, but my nose was stopped up last night trying to go to sleep, but runny at the same time. Now today, i have the stuffed up runny nose, but im a little achey, kind of like I have a fever, but I'm not cold and shivering like I have a fever.

    Do I just have a cold you think? I went to a crouded dance club on thursday, and it's now monday. Is it possible to catch a cold then and symptoms started appearing 3 days later?

    Whats the deal with this...? I'm a college student and don't have a thermometer to see if I'm running a fever, but I doubt I am, and if i am, it is probably low.

    I know this is random, but comming back from class to my dorm just now, they were handing out free monster energy drinks... I LOVE free stuff lol. ok hope you can help!

    • ANSWER:
      You could just be suffering from allergies, try claritin D, it will help dry up the congestion in the nose, and that should help with the throat feeling scratchy. Take one every 12 hours, if you still feel achey all over, You probably have a sinus infection, that is treatable with antibiotics. Tylenol sinus works great too. Good luck and hope you feel better.

  50. QUESTION:
    Warped Tour Info 2011?
    Hey i'm going to Warped Tour and i have a few questions for people who gone before. What should i expect to be doing throughout the day and is anything free at all? i heard someone say they give out free monster energy drinks? just basically tell me everything you know to help prepare me. please and thankyou

    • ANSWER:
      Ok, So You'll See Hundreds of sweaty people passing out. You'll Be Pushed, No Matter if you're in the pit or not. You'll probably get kicked in the head and punched a few times. There will be TONS of screaming in your ears.
      ALOT of stuff is free, but the stuff that's not ( Food, Drink Any memorabilia)is way overpriced. But alot of the band merch is real cheap. About the monster, it depends on the venue, sometimes they do sometimes they don't.
      You better wear the comfiest clothes you have because sweat smell is NOT attractive to band members or anyone else. But remember, people are idiots, they will try to pull at your cloths if their TOO loose
      It's REALLY fun and i love it every time i go, im expecilly gonna love this year because the line up is perfect....
      Expect to stay all day its usually 9am-11pm

      Hope this helps Hun, Its a good rundown if i do say so myself CX
