No matter where you look, whether it’s the lunchroom, classrooms, or the trash in the hallways, you can see evidence of energy drinks. These range from the trademark Starbucks cups to oversized Monster cans. What is the draw of these drinks that we will look back on as a mark of our high school years? Which is the one that everyone will remember? Here’s the student’s take on the energy drink trend.

“It’s become more of a habit than actually needing the energy. It’s just a part of my routine and I feel like something is missing if I don’t drink it.”
Ellie Gilbert, senior – Bubbler Triple Berry Breez’r

“Bubbler. The orange one. The one that tastes like oranges.”
Jackson Keis, sophomore – Bubbler Blood Orange Mango Mingl’r

“Alani. The breezy berry one. It’s all blue.”
McKenna Olson, freshman – Alani Nu Breezeberry

“Bubbler. I drink them in 2nd hour the most.”
Owen Klitzke, freshman – Bubbler Watermelon Lime Smash’r

“I hate energy drinks. I’d rather drink an Izze.”
Josh Nielsen, senior – Izze Blackberry

“I don’t drink energy drinks, I mostly drink water.”
Josie Shecterle, junior

“Bubbler. I have one every morning during first hour then have one at lunch.”
Andy Quam, senior – Passion Fruit Wond’r and Watermelon Lime Smash’r.

“Monster. I usually drink energy drinks in the morning on the way to school, or after going skiing to make sure I feel awake driving back, but I try to limit them to 1 a week.”
Giovanni Stassi, junior – Monster Mago Loco
