What are your thoughts on energy drinks?

>> No.6600497

I drank about 4 Nos or Redbulls every morning. Quit them two months ago to get in shape for my wedding. I quit them along with dieting, but i have to say I have never felt better being off them. My body has adapted to not needing/wanting them anymore. Because of this I drank nothing but water. Water Gives me the energy those drinks did in in the morning.
They are tasty as fuck though, so to each his own.

I wouldn't say no to a rockstar if I'd pulled an all nighter. or any of the others if it was over 36 hours with no sleep.

But I too quit them a while ago, and after a few weeks without them they are pretty fucking rank, I'd need to be dead on my feet to deliberately buy one.

i drink 1-2 every day because i crave caffeine and it is far too hot to drink coffee right now. whatever is on sale, really. they all taste subpar for the most part, but they get the job done.

>> No.6600975

You can just take caffeine pills and b-complex and achieve the same affect, and it's way cheaper.

The taste doesn't bother me (I like the absurd sugar bomb taste). The smell, though, is atrocious. Someone can open one of those up in the next room and you can smell it. That's truly disgusting.

I always get bad headaches every Monday and Wednesday so I drink energy drinks on those days.

Pic related is one of my favorites. I love coffee+energy drinks. The blue one is okay.

What I think is insane is that it is a whole product category that did not exist when most of us were kids. When I was in college it was Red Bull and Bawls (and those were only just coming to flyoverland) and that was _it_ - now there's four whole floor to ceiling fridges full of them at every gas station, two of which are Monster alone.

I used to drink a Full Throttle every day for many months at a time. I've had multiple instances in my life where I've done this, at least three. I seriously used to slam them, though never more than one a day, and I wouldn't always finish them. Eventually I got used to the caffeine, but what really drew me to them was the taste. God damn, they're awesome. I have no doubt they're shockingly unhealthy and I probably shaved off some time from my overall lifespan by drinking them so ardently, but...that taste, though.

Hella bad yo-
Like, caffeine is bad enough, and you probably already have heart disease coming your way, but most energy drinks (monster included) have taurine.
Very good for the intended effect, but chronic use makes your brain think it's got a shitton, and to compensate, it downregulates taurine production and ups its removal. Considering taurine levels are pretty fickle already, it's not exactly... Well.. U fukd.. Gu'n die bish

tasty and more convenient than coffee

caffeine is nice every now and then when you're having a rough day but anything beyond that sucks, withdrawal and cravings are really not neccessary

>> No.6601530

I only drink them rarely but they're pretty good as mixers and since it makes you less you can be drunk longer so you get more drunkness for your money.

I have this crazy built in immunity to caffiene, energy drinks or coffee have 0 effect on me. It's not even a built up tolerance, always been this way. So they don't really have any uses for me.

That said, i'll never turn down a can of pic related. Red Bull is disgusting though.
