    Drink which YOU prefer.

    I'm caffeine intolerant, so I just drink coffee since I make mine like chocolate milk, lol.

    On workout days I always mix my pre-workout with a Monster Ultra and two green tea pills. (pills are doctor prescribed) I just enjoy the taste of Monster more than water, lol.

    The only real difference it the calorie content of each. If you don't want to take on a bunch of excess calories drink black coffee.

    They dont work when they become frequent. They just keep you as tired as you were....

    I can drink A LOT of coffee before I get jittery or cracked out.

    More than 1 monster and I'm a shaking maniac. I've compared ingredients so I'm pretty sure it's a combo of the caffeine and some random ingredient that gets me flying.

    I stick to coffee for the most part-but sugar-free monster (0 calories-FYI) is my pre-workout of choice. I shake those weights all over the place

    Personally, the number of unpronounceable ingredients on an energy drink put me off, so if I want a pick-me-up, I tend to go for coffee.

    Plus, too many vodka-red-bulls at university has put me off energy drinks. Even thinking about it is making me feel ill :neutral:
