Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The store brand one is 50 cents (€) where I live, they're all unhealthy anyway so might as well go for the cheap one...
If you're deciding solely on cost just buy a bottle of caffeine pills from your pharmacy. A 100 count bottle of 200mg pure caffeine (well, plus cellulose or whatever holds the pill together) costs me like $20. Now do the math on 100 red bulls.
I mean, no one who buys energy drinks does it only for the caffeine. I'm just saying there's little difference between a redbull and a generic energy drink.
Most people who are addicted to drinks like Monster do so because of vitamin B12 defficiency, the drink is their main source of it.
these people buy monster instead of eggs or meat wtf
Some of those people are vegan.
Some are just alcoholics too. Alcohol reduces your ability to absorb Vitamin B, so they need to supplement it. If you pay attention you will notice heavy drinkers tend to consume a lot of beef, slam energy drinks or both.

That's expensive, we have the store brand for 45 cents. I guess we can find them for cheaper somewhere.
Fun fact, we have a Redbull factory in the country and they sell them for 1.50. (which is expensive for what it's)
Or... drink coffee or tea or eat chocolate or take caffeine pills if you don't care about the taste.
None of the things you described are sodas, so I don't see how it's comparable. There's a difference between a cool drink and chocolate, it's not just a matter of taste.
Good point! "...or drink soda."
Your original comment implied your only criteria were price and caffeine.
