Are energy drinks really that bad?

I been drinking one (sometimes even two) a day because my job is very physical (blue collar job) and monster drinks is what help to get me through the morning (I’m not a morning person at all).

I heard it’s bad for you but caffeine has always been a major vice of mine (I tried to quitting plenty of times with no success). :francis:

I usually stay away from anything like monster, mountain dew or red bull, unless I'm about to be active. And even then, I'll only drink like half a can. I usually will drink coffee for caffeine max 2 cups in a day, but those energy drink have a combination of caffiene (more than coffee, sometimes double a cup) and sugar in them.

Try getting more sleep/going to bed earlier and adjusting your diet. At the very least, go for a check up with your PCP and get some bloodwork done. Hyper tension, heart disease, and kidney disease aint no joke.

I'll need a fact check, but Kevin Samuels died with high blood pressure/hypertension and he drank a lot of red bulls

Time for me to layoff the energy drink. :francis:

Thanks guys.
Think of it phonetically

Caffeine -calf (herd animal) + fiend (slave to addiction)

First purchase of the day people line up for on their way to work ? … everyday

Things aren’t right until they get it? Any mistakes made between the time the wake and the time they get it? Hasn’t happened yet


Look at the historic oppression our civilization has faced from the powers that be in society … there’s a reason caffeine is the perfectly acceptable drug with no societal stigma

They want you pepped up on coffee through the week and drunk on the weekend so you’re too stupid to think of the ways you’re getting fukked

I drink Celsius and C4 sometimes. C4 mainly before a workout


Other than that, I try to do more green tea. Work/traffic been whipping my ass though, so I need something stronger in the morning now.

And I don’t drink roach coffee like that
