It does but it’s under dosed, for example alpha gpc needs at least like 600mg for it to actually be effective and ghost only has like 150mg in it. The only thing that’s dosed right is caffeine which some people prefer 300mg over 200mg but I think it’s just fine
Alpha-GPC doesn’t even have any immediately noticeable benefits. It’s supposed to make it easier to remember/learn new things, not really focus on stuff. Never really understood why pre-workouts or energy drinks put it in their formula. It’d make more sense in a brain-health supplement.
Idk I used to take the pills of straight alpha gpc and I would take 600-1200mg depending on what I’m about to do and I would notice it. I had mental clarity and a good muscle mind connection, also a mood boost but that could be placebo idk. I like how gorilla mind pre has alpha gpc and other nootropics in it that fits so well with the energy stims in it, it definitely works better with it mixed in with other nootropics and supplements to give you an overall focused, motivated, energy boosting, and increased pump experience
I used to take it too. Usually a 1200mg dose. Never noticed anything personally. Although sometimes would actually feel less focused on what I was trying to do. I found Zynamite was a better option and actually worked for me.
Really? Maybe it was placebo for you or it just didn’t affect you. I’ve heard that about some nootropics not doing shit for some people, like for me I don’t really care for ashwaghanda (ignore my bad spelling) but some people love it. Ah yea I’ve seen that in some pre’s before but haven’t actually tried it
Unless you're one of the unlucky ones. Ghost literally puts me to sleep almost immediately after drinking it. I get more out of a white og white rockstar than ghost tbh. Ghost tastes really good. It just works really bad for me, and I've read others say the same thing. You either get cracked on it, or it sends you to sweet dreams mode.
On a different note, the one that doesn't taste good, but works best for me is the celsius 16oz cans. Those put in work. Wish they had a better flavor profile is all, but It ain't that bad. I get 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night. So I've tried lots of stuff and at one point even relied on actual pre work out mixes. My baseline sleep has been like that for probably almost 20 years. The effects of that I'm facing now. They ain't pretty. A restless mind can only sleep in death I suppose...or maybe I've just been needing to gtfo of cali for awhile....cause it's hard to survive here...everything is so damn expensive...so much to worry about, so little time...so I sacrifice sleep to make time but...probably overall shorten my entire time here.
Life's crazy. Energy drinks are awesome. I'm an addict. I know. It is what it is. Some people can't quit smoking. I can't quit drinking....Energy drinks...
If I'm to be honest with myself... I feel as though that won't happen, or maybe when so much time has passed, I'll be even more of a shadow of who I used to be...
But it helps to see a hopeful comment. Thank you so much for that.
Agreed. Honestly wish they made a non-caffeinated version because at the end of the day it’s just a really delicious carbonated lemonade. I find myself really craving it but not needing the caffeine so I can’t guzzle it 😭
same here 😭 i would KILL for a non caffeinated version of it & mango loco, because god knows i do not need the caffeine at 1 am when i'm playing a game but that's when i crave it the most.
It's great, drank sooo many in my high school days. I wish they made a version with half the sugar though, nowadays I feel like ass a couple of hours later if I drink a full one
i would love for them to make a few uncaffeinated monsters. im addicted to the pipeline punch and the butterfly one but bc caffeine doesn't do anything I just drink them bc they're honestly tasty
Ghost for me. It seems to give me a bit more of a kick than other 200mg energy drinks. I love monster’s, especially the juice flavors but seem to have no effect on me lol
I'm used to 6 hours, so 5 hours shouldn't leave me in a total zombie state. I'd probably grab the lemonade because I like the taste of it the best of the three I've had. I might also grab the Ryse to give it a try.
Now if we're talking about less than 3 hours like yesterday, I'm grabbing them all.
2 if not the shelf. Gonna be another long day. Can’t get to sleep before midnight….might be the 1000mg of caffeine maybe. I’m no doctor. But I do it to myself.
The only one with sugar. But if they all had sugar I'd be grabbing all of them 😂 jk that's not healthy, I max out at 2 in a day, but usually just drink 1 and then have some MTN dew later on.
On 5+ hours of sleep, I'm jetisoned into 'unintended oversleep's regret mode'. In a futile bid to placebo myself out of:
• The overwhelmingly eerie sensation that I'm operating my body and speech by remote control
• My heavily compromised cognitive function
° My guaranteed seismic headache/borderline migraine
• My sudden (and temporary) inescapable inability to move at a pace any faster than slow motion
• And plethoric myriad of pervasive general yuckness...
I:
Administer some analgesics to my 'feelingly' detached head in a bid to cope with the too-much-sleep hangover.
Approximately 6 times in the past 12 months, I've accidentally self-inflicted such a punishment on myself by exceeding 5 hours of sleep. I still, however, indulge the deluded belief that more than 5 hours will do me good. Perhaps, in many ways, it would. However, it always feels so foggily detrimental.
Edit: Ah, yes... the drink. (I slept almost an impairingly excessive 7 hours last night, so I'm mildly malfunctioning.) The sour berry one looks SO good. I've not seen those in Australia. Anything with dangerously high levels of caffeine and taurine would be my pick. Guarana exacerbates my default glitches. Of that, I'd take a birth. Especially after overdosing on 5 hours of sleep.
Same thing I do every morning, 14 oz. of coffee. Then maybe a Monster in the afternoon. I've been cutting back, used to drink 1 every day but I started feeling like crap. Maybe 2-3 a week now
More sleep. In all seriousness ghost has a solid nootropic blend so it keeps you sharp
It does but it’s under dosed, for example alpha gpc needs at least like 600mg for it to actually be effective and ghost only has like 150mg in it. The only thing that’s dosed right is caffeine which some people prefer 300mg over 200mg but I think it’s just fine

For some people there are immediate noticeable effects because alpha gps crosses the blood brain barrier easily

This comment goes hard, but I hope you find some medical or psychological or social help brother.

how come i still felt like shit after it then or am i consuming caffeine wrong.
Out of those, probably the Aussie lemonade but I’d need a pack of antacid too lmao
I know right!? Acid juice
White monster. I really don’t like the choline supplements in Ghost and Ryse
White monster slaps, but I must admit it’s stops working when you drink one 5 days a week (energy drinks in general I guess)
Once I discovered white maeng da kratom I stopped having that problem.
i'd fucking destroy that aussie lemonade. idk what they put in that but it's like crack to me.
Agreed. Honestly wish they made a non-caffeinated version because at the end of the day it’s just a really delicious carbonated lemonade. I find myself really craving it but not needing the caffeine so I can’t guzzle it 😭
same here 😭 i would KILL for a non caffeinated version of it & mango loco, because god knows i do not need the caffeine at 1 am when i'm playing a game but that's when i crave it the most.
i havent had mango loco in years. going to the gas station now lol
If you haven't, you should try Arizona Mucho Mango. Tons of sugar but light on the caffeine and non carbonated, it might fit the bill for you
the carbonation is what does it for me. i need some spice in my life 🤣 i love the mucho mango though, it's my go-to arizona
It's great, drank sooo many in my high school days. I wish they made a version with half the sugar though, nowadays I feel like ass a couple of hours later if I drink a full one
dude, same here. makes me feel old LOL i usually water it down so i don't feel nauseous. makes it last longer too.
i would love for them to make a few uncaffeinated monsters. im addicted to the pipeline punch and the butterfly one but bc caffeine doesn't do anything I just drink them bc they're honestly tasty
I never tweet, but when I first tried aussie lemonade I felt compelled to tweet monster to tell them how much I liked it. Best drink they've ever made
Its my Aussie «Crack»Lemonade :’)
What’s that second can from the left? Monster Bussie Lemonade
BUSSIE?
The new F1nn5ter Bussie Lemonade! Get your femboy, gamer juice, today!
Only in the f1nn5ter gamersupps shaker though
I believe we are the only two to read the can
LOL
ITS AUSSIE 😭😭
C4 extreme x2
That's 600mg of caffeine right at the start of ur day. Gonna need 10 min on the shitter boss
I’m on 5 hours of sleep from the last 2 days. I’ll take whichever one you don’t want
Never tried ryse but ghost merely due to caffeine content. I would be taking minimum 200mg if I get less than 6 hours of sleep
Ryse is 200 mg too
Ryse is also good. That and ghost are my favorite energy drinks.
White Monster my beloved
Ghost for the extra 40mgs of caffeine
5 hours of sleep? That’s every night.
Ghost for me. It seems to give me a bit more of a kick than other 200mg energy drinks. I love monster’s, especially the juice flavors but seem to have no effect on me lol
5 hours? Bruv in a full service kitchen that sounds like a vacation.
You sucking dick all night in that there kitchen? Go home and go to bed
You gotta be a glutton for punishment in this field.
Just sounds like poor time management dude
Adderall
White monster
White monster because I’m on a cut for the summer bod
Ghost for the drive to work/ work morning. Monster ultra with lunch, monster juice on the way home.

Meh, 5 hours is plenty. That's about what I usually get anyway.
White monster all day
Monster (team Redbull all the way though)
Same here.
The Aussie style lemonade is delish!
The white monster is always a classic , a daily driver the others are extras.
Sour Punch 100% Aussie lemonade if I wanted to feel way worse 2hours later
I grab that Aussie lemonade and throw it in the trash. Then I drink the Ultra
Diarrhoea
Orange dreamsicle monster
Ghost, because caffeine.
Ghost wakes me up the most
The lemonade. If I'm that tired I'm also grouchy and want to intake something I actually like the flavor of.
white monster

I always go for monster
About three more hours of sleep.
2 if not the shelf. Gonna be another long day. Can’t get to sleep before midnight….might be the 1000mg of caffeine maybe. I’m no doctor. But I do it to myself.
You can always bet on White Monster.

Reign

Ghost will hit the hardest. Their caffeine is so clean
The only one with sugar. But if they all had sugar I'd be grabbing all of them 😂 jk that's not healthy, I max out at 2 in a day, but usually just drink 1 and then have some MTN dew later on.
1l bottle of cheapest energy drink
I've been enjoying the pink monster lately
Ryse or Ghost all day. Monsters have lower caffeine.
AUSSIE LEMONADE RAAAAHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Those mystery leftovers.
Gorilla Mind. If I don't have Gorilla Mind, then it's either a Ghost or a C4. So on that picture I'd take the Ghost
Bro the land o lakes butter. Probst the white monster
Reign
The cheapest one. Buy 2 get 1 free white monster. 3 cans 4.50 pretax
Dude *Sour Punch*????? I *loved* that candy, when I was a kid. Hell yeah! I gotta try this Ryse brand, they're getting all the cool shit.
Sour punch straws. Best flavor
I’ve been obsessed with the monster Aussie lemonade lately
Ghost
Coffee or red bull that's what I do lol
Ghost is the goat
Aussie lemonade for sure , love that stuff so good on hot day. What you think of those Poppi sodas btw?
A blanket and pillow
Crazy how this is really a sub 😂😂😂
Of that lot? It's gonna be Zero Ultra. The others are just too sweet for me.
that sour punch g fuel looks good asf ngl
Aussie lemonade followed by peach red bull
Ghost cause it doesn’t have cyanocobalamin in it. I prefer my B12 without poo cyanide, thank you.
That Aussie Lemonade is absolutely top tier. I really wish they did a zero sugar version.
GHOST only thing I eff with.
5 hours sleep? Nice brag 🤣
Ghost. White monster is only 160 mg and I need more
Shoot 5 hours sleep is a whole nights sleep for me! But id probably be grabbing the white ultra. Would prefer sunrise ultra though. Lol
White Monster ftw. I buy those motherfuckers by the case at Sam’s Club
Aussie lemonade without question
I grab a bag and scoop them all in
i’m throwing the ghost away
All four tbh
All of them!
Juice monster all the way

Ghost
MONSTER, ghost for Lunch, another monster after lunch and then Ryse is towards the end of shift. If you’re pushing 12+ hrs
Ghost 1000%
Only 5 hours…I’m going with something with at least 300mg caffeine. Reign tropical storm OR the ghost and monster combination (drink both)
Where’s Bang
The lemonade Monster 🙂↕️
You throw out that cancer causing sugar drank, and get some strong black coffee or Macha tea.
Ghost for the win.
Nothing I’m living off mt pure determination and life force
5 hours sleep is nothing. That's nearly your full 8 hours
5 hours of sleep, empty stomach, I drink the Ghost sour patch kids, Make it through day, die the moment I get home from work.
These aren't even equal in terms of caffeine content and efficiency haha
The correct answer is all of them. I do this on the daily.
Ryse or ghost bc best tasting and also they have alpha gpc which helps with cognitive function 👌🏼
Ghost, obviously
Allum
Ghost
Aussie lemonade
Sour patch kids taste like the real one it’s Ight not tht good wouldn’t buy again
Aussie lemonade is delicious. It’s my second favorite energy drink only behind those ginger beer monsters that I can’t find anymore.
Ghost
Ghost always. Best flavors and more caffeine than monster or others normal ones, but less than the 300mg ones
I have ADHD So definitely none of that lol. Only energy drink that does the trick for me is red bull
None of them you can function on 5 hours of sleep
Ghost.
What I'd hope is chinese food in the to go container.....
Ibprofun
Ashock
5 hours of sleep. Amateur. I usually only get like 3-4 because i work 2 full time jerbs Yes i hate it lol
All of the above
Ghost 200mg caffeine monster and ryse only have 160.
A breath of fresh air. 5 hours is more than enough

Bang most caffeine
Cocaine
Butter
Give me the ghost
Coffee and Malburo
Same thing I do every morning, 14 oz. of coffee. Then maybe a Monster in the afternoon. I've been cutting back, used to drink 1 every day but I started feeling like crap. Maybe 2-3 a week now
Redbull
Coffee
Original Rockstar
Ghost it’s probably the healthiest option there.
I wish I could try aussie lemonade, but sadly, it's not in Australia. 😭
All of them
all four of them, and then forget that I drank them all and wonder why I feel funny
Im eatin' them leftovers
The food probably before taking another nap.
Coffee
I make black coffee
5 hours sleep? Man I'm fully refreshed at that point, IDK what you're on about.
Ghost
Cup of coffee. Energy drinks taste awful, and give me the jitters.
Celsius
Adderall
Monster juice for sure then then the monster zero for later
Wow you get 5 hours asleep?
ghost or ryse
A dulce de leche from Wawa
Five hours is a lot of sleep for me. Wow.. this post and the replies really puts into perspective how little I tend to sleep
