How Much Caffeine is there in a Monster Energy Drink?

Monster Energy Drinks contain about 160mg of caffeine per can

This is rather typical for energy drinks on the market, and translates to 10.6mg/fl oz or 36mg/100ml. This is similar to a Red Bull, but slightly less than popular competitors like Ghost (200mg/can).

For reference, a Starbucks Espresso contains 150mg of caffeine in a single serving. 

Is it safe to consume that amount of caffeine?

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends a maximum daily intake of 400mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults. These guidelines vary for children (100mg/day) and pregnant women (200mg/day).

The bottom line is, you should be fine as long as you don't go overboard. Monster also offer no sugar options which could help dial back on the calories, but take note that the caffeine intake is still there.

Which is the best Monster Energy Drink flavor??

I like Mango Loco the most, but hey, to each his own.

What about when I need that boost immediately?

Sometimes, you're stuck at work or school and you don't simply have a can of Monster within reach.
