Interesting, didn't know they were different. They are 473 mL (16oz) cans / 160mg caffeine per. There's bigger (24oz) and smaller ones though, but 16oz is the standard/original.

I've had imported Monster and I now remember that 473 mL. Also 160 mg of caffeine here. My favorites are Ultra Paradise and Ultra Violet.

Shit I hope it isn't hard on the pancreas. Almost died twice from extremely severe acute pancreatitis, back in '06. Had it a third time years later, but it wasn't as bad cuz I knew what it was and got to the ER quick af. Turns out I have some kind of rare ass intolerance to mushrooms, lol. I'm lucky my pancreas is working normally, that's one of the reasons I don't really drink alcohol.
And yeah it's a hell of a lot of caffeine lol, plus pop and coffee and shit. But at this point my tolerance is so high, I can drink a few monster before bed and sleep fine. Initially, I bought the 24 packs to save money, didn't drink more than 2 a day, but having that much around turned into 4, and eventually what I'm at now, lol

I used to work at a convenience store from like 4am to 2pm m-f so I would naturally just drown myself in caffeine. Im pretty sure I probably averaged like 800mg - 1.2 grams of caffeine a day.
Glad i stopped that nonsense lol

Yeah that's a lot. I'm over 2 grams today so far lol. Definitely not a good habit.
But tbh, I feel like the dangers of caffeine and especially sugar are vastly over-exaggerated. Obviously, what I do / what you did isn't healthy. But as far as people who drink stuff like that in moderation / treat themselves on occasion, it's really not an issue. Monster in particular gets a bad rap, when "healthy alternatives" can have nearly twice as much caffeine, and even Starbucks coffee has more caffeine and sugar lol.
Hell, I've seen people demonize fruits for having "too much sugar" lol. It's ridiculous. Basically, anything in moderation is my point. I'm disregarding that obv, but nobody's perfect lol. I'll cut back eventually, but I don't think I'll ever cut out caffeine entirely. And certainly not sugar, assuming no medical condition forces me to lol

The vast amount of sugar in eight cans of Monster is enough to predispose you to diabetes over time. That's pretty much a given. The pancreas is unable to provide nearly enough insulin to convert this massive amount of glucose to energy. For caffeine, anything over 500-600 mg a day is unhealthy, but it won't kill you. You could switch to the Ultra line, that cuts hundreds of grams of sugar from your diet. Having a lot of sugar daily is also directly linked to a higher chance of depression.
I've done a lot of research about this topic, because I had a sugar addiction at some point in my life.

Yeah iirc the max daily caffeine is supposed to be 400mg lol
Definitely aware of the diabetes risk from that much sugar, but when you said pancreas my mind jumped to toxicity, like the way alcohol is toxic to the pancreas. Didn't even think about diabetes for some reason. Although diabetes is linked to an increased risk of pancreatitis, but not quite the line of thinking I had lol
E: My last comment was about stuff being okay in moderation, not saying that what I do is okay lol. I've seen a lot of stuff demonizing sugar to the point they tell you not to eat bananas and shit. But I have no illusions that drinking 8+ cans of monster a day is anything close to safe.

Moderation is indeed key, I agree with you. Also, quitting (added) sugar all together is probably not realistic and therefore unlikely to be maintained over time. A goal that is realistic is much more likely to be able to be maintained. An example: this week I will drink four cups of coffee daily, instead of the five I normally have.
Today's world seems to be all about polarization and extremes, that doesn't make it any easier. In reality, it's all about balance.
