    The amount of people absolutely POUNDING several event drinks a day is astounding.

    I have a heart condition and couldn’t drink them if I wanted to, without dying, so they don’t believe when I say it’s bad for them.

      coffeine makes me sleepy so energy drinks only give me placebo and it doesn’t matter that coffeine barely affects me, could not care less about the caffeine, but

      one can usually has an entire day’s maxiumum amount of sugar for an adult in it, that is an insane amout to drinking in an hour or so. and that’s not to even mention that whatever they put in them seems to enjoy making kidney stones!

      those things should not be a regular part of anyone’s diet

        I worked with someone who would bring 4 cans of monster to work every day, but he told me he was essentially addicted. He said he’d get pounding headaches if he didnt drink them now. Its probably not all that different from a cocaine habit.

          When I went off caffeine, it took me down with 3 days of flu like symptoms and headaches. Grouchy asshole is an understatement. I was drinking 2 coffees a day, I can’t imagine.

          Caffeine habits are very real, and holy shit, that’s like 6-7 coffees a day. If he went cold turkey, it would be a week of hell at home, vomiting from the migranes.

            I think knowing him made me reframe how I view caffeine. I treat it as a potent drug and it seems to affect me that way now, so I barely use it.
