You can get corn syrup free monsters everywhere. Or those 5 hour ones, or Celsius or whatever.

The reason to prefer coffee is that it tastes less aggressive than those I think

For people who are already addicted to sugar, yes, coffee tastes more aggressive than the drinks full of insane amounts of sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Meanwhile in Asia beans are considered sweet bc their food isn't overloaded with sugar.

		It sounds like you're equating "aggressive" with "sweet". Coffee has a very strong taste (even without sugar). Stronger than anything on the list. I'd wager that the reason some people add a lot of sugar is to make up for that strong taste. 5 hour energy drinks have almost no sugar. Much milder taste than coffee. > Meanwhile in Asia beans are considered sweet bc their food isn't overloaded with sugar. Red bean paste?
