About the same amount of sugar as soda.
Here are the facts:
Rockstar Energy Drink 8 oz (240 ml) Serving Sugars, total: 31g Calories, total: 124 Calories from sugar: 124
16 oz (480 ml) Can Sugars, total: 62g Calories, total: 248 Calories from sugar: 248 So you're getting the same effect as a soda is what these facts are telling me. You get a sugar high and that gives you energy. The research shows that you can just get a bag of sugar and mix with water and get the same sugar high at 1/4 the cost. Smart money is on the sugar water. Unless of course you have plenty of money to throw away. In that case, spread the wealth. LOL. But if you're even thinking about trying to be healthy, Then you might want to look elsewhere. I'm not saying that you shouldn't drink energy drinks, That's your choice. What I am saying though is that if you want to kill yourself there are cheaper more productive ways to do it. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. So dear reader, now you have the facts so you can make an informed decision the next time you reach for something in that cooler.
