    Advertising itself as zero sugar and vegan, the neon-colored cans are among a growing number of energy drinks with elevated levels of caffeine; in PRIME’s case, 200 milligrams per 12 ounces, equivalent to about half a dozen Coke cans or nearly two Red Bulls.

      Eh, for all their advertising, Red Bulls are actually on the weaker side for energy drinks.

      Can you convert this to espresso shots? I typically have 8 each morning. If this is more affordable I may switch!

        It’s just a caffeine supplement packaged and ready to drink, if affordability is your concern just buy a powder supplement and mix it yourself. There’s multiple brands with flavored options that’ll give you a drink exactly like Prime for like 25c per serve

        That is a lot of caffeine to start the day. Not here to drag on another’s drug use, but there is validity in weening yourself down from time to time.
