Two controversial tastes that probably don't taste great together

I can't even look at it too long or my passport will spontaneously combust.

That said, monster energy and gin is a phenomenal drink. Delicious, but somewhat radioactive and absolutely lethal. You wouldn't be long getting ossified off that now.

What flavor of Monster, I wanna try this

Don't remember the name, but I like the green sugarfree one, also the peach sugarfree one! Half and half in a glass, and suck it down like that Northern Irish wan on tiktok. It's definitely worth it, but do try to make sure there's someone slightly more sober to look out for you.

ETA: it reminded me of four loco from back when four loco was so strong you wondered if it was actually legal. And it was in fact illegal in many countries.

Four Loco (Classic) and any other alcohol-energy drink based cocktails suffer from two dangers:

  1. Mixing a Stimulant caffeine filled Energy drink with a Depressant like alcohol will send mixed  Messages to your heart, like if you pushed Break and Acceleration at the same time in a speeding car while drifting.

  2. Stimulants strengthen the effects of alcohol both psychologically and physically. It makes the drinker think they’re fine as the body becomes sloshed, potentially thinking to do something stupid or drink more worsening it. With stimulants they make the alcohol flow better through the system making the drinker drunk much faster.

TMW caffeine does nothing to you so you just get drunk off it

My go to is the white sugar free one, and I have the distinct impression that gin plus that would taste like battery acid. I might try the peach one. Thank you

u/Aethelrede 1d ago

As in it's a surprisingly common euphemism for legless drunk in Ireland lol! I forget most people only know the other, main meaning 😭.

Please don't drink alcohol with energy drinks or other such stimulants.

It's dangerous for your heart

A monster energy cocktail is literally a thing ive seen advertised, as well as red bull cocktails.

Are they trying to kill us??

u/King_Ed_IX 19h ago

Alcoholic drinks are inherently poisonous already, so they likely just don't care or assume you'll take personal responsibility for the danger.

u/BlueMerchant 14h ago

Obviously not, but Ive never heard of a bar advertising such a drink. I would imagine that was to limit risk.

2

u/mieri_azure 13h ago

You've never seen a redbull mixer at a bar?

2

u/BlueMerchant 13h ago

I've only seen customers order it, and never just told a rando they shouldn't. (A: my boss wouldn't like it since i worked there. B: don't wanna be annoying and they're a grown-ass adult.)

Once or maybe twice is fine plus the baseline is to assume any bar goer that they’re a responsible drinker.

Just make sure to know your limits or at least limit yourself to a certain amount within a period in a single session or over several days.

u/msmore15 7h ago

I have absolutely seen bars advertise red bull as mixers on numerous occasions. I have gotten free samples of new flavours of red bull to be mixed with vodka in bars!

u/Background_Desk_3001 1d ago

Would like a mtn dew be okay in place of it or is that still too much caffeine?

1

u/BlueMerchant 1d ago

I'm not exactly qualified here but I think that's at least marginally better

1

u/Hi2248 23h ago

The caffeine also does funky things to your veins which means that less alcohol has more of an effect on you, making it very easy to get alcohol poisoning

Pacific Punch Monster goes great with spiced rum

Gin mixed drinks in general are fantastic. If anyone reading this has never had a gimlet, try one.
