The ones that are sugar free specify that in big letters, so yeha it’s probably the standard 9-12% sugar that most energy drinks are
Comment on who's tried it? what does it taste like?

I notice the Monster says “super dry” at the top. I assume that’s in reference to it’s sugar content.

That Nitro Monster uses nitrogen gas instead of carbon dioxide for the fizzies, and it’s rather dense.
Why they call it ‘super dry’, I don’t quite know, but if you ever tried one, it sorta makes sense.

In alcoholic drinks, it refers to a low sugar content. I figured even if this was not in America, it probably would still say “low sugar” or “sugar free” like it does here, but the other reply makes me think that isn’t that case, and this DOES refer to it having a low sugar content in other parts of the world.

Wait is dry actually related to sugar content? I mean it makes obvious sense now that you said it but I’m so used to using dry/sweet for wine based on the taste and never really made that connection that it was sweeter because it actually had more sugar, I guess I thought it was pixie dust making it sweeter.

Dry is used both for the sugar content and the mouth feel from tannins in wine, but yeah, it's usually referring to the residual grape sugars left after fermentation. Dry = low sugar,
