If you call this a survey, you may be right. It's time to see which drinks top the reviewers' market these days. Your Top 5 Energy Drinks right now, and why if you would like to clarify. Whether you want to choose Energy Drink companies or individual Drinks is up to you.

It's a tough call for me, but I have to go with the following:

Monster (original)
Lost
AMP
Rockstar
Red Bull

They may be mainstream choices, but that just means more people agree with my preference.

I have to ask, Are these based on solid numbers or are you asking for "opinions"?
You list the several names that appear to be nominated by the sales numbers, however, IMO taste, cost, and efficacy should be taken into account.
I ask this because, as far as taste and efficacy go I can get a better taste out of regular Mountain Dew and a better efficaly out of a dose of Sudafed Daytime formula than I can from a can of AMP.

1. Hype Classic
2. Monster Reduced Carb
3. Hype MFP
4. Beaver Buzz: Big Buzz
5. Xyience BluePom

This would be too difficult for me really.

I'll give it a shot

For kick I'll go with Redline apple, Spike Shooter, Fixx
for taste I'll go with Hype original ,Euphoric watermelon Kiwi, and Crazyhorse

I know that is six but that is my current choices which are subject to change on a daily basis!

Good selections, but i like the tropical citrus flavor, nice, light flavor. the other two i'm not as crazy about, but i thought it tasted pretty good. On the other hand i hate all of the stackers, just not my thing.

If you're listing my taste mine would go

1. Rockstar
2. Xyience Apple
3. ?
4. Redbull
5. Sobe No FEAR

oddly, i don't drink energy drinks for energy but for the taste..

my top 5:

1. full throttle blue demon
2. monster
3. sobe no fear
4. full throttle
5. ?

i haven't tried too many kinds.. but outta the ones i have tried, i really disliked full throttle bad mother, full throttle fury, rockstar, and NOS fruit punch. amp was ok.

i need to get some sobe adreenaline rush..
