I can't mess with energy drinks.. I'm usually good after my two cups of coffee.

Just stay away from those 5/6 hr energy drink shots.
I tried that shyt once on a flight to the UK and it did was give me aggressive heart palpitations.
Worse feeling I ever felt, short of the time I was for certain I was having a heart attack in a Casino Bathroom in Monaco 'cause my stupid ass mixed OG formula redbull with Jager (Jager Bomb) after winning 3K Euros at roulette.
I could be prone to chest/heartburn like symptoms off the strength of the aggressive ones, but it doesn't help that them bytches are just too full of caffeine and stimulants one shouldn't down in one dose.​

Moderation. I personally try to avoid more than 80 mg of caffeine a day.

Time for me to layoff the energy drinks.

Thanks for convincing me guys.

Drink a lot of water and replace with coffee and use energy drinks only when you really need a boost and you should be fine.
You can drink coffee daily. Caffeine isn't dangerous under 400mg total dosage for a day.

You should avoid them because the excess sugar and caffeine wreak havoc on your body.

That said, some of you favorite professional athletes chug a RedBull at halftime.

Sometimes even before the game starts.

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).

I worry about the long-term health implications that aren’t known with daily energy drinks (ie effects of high heart rates, possible hypertension from the taurine, high caffeine, nitric oxide vessel dilation?).

I switched from Monsters twice a day to americanos twice a day and feel pretty similar I guess.

EDIT like others said, the occasional energy drink in the setting of sports / training is probably reasonable

I drink one of these a damn near a day. One of my two biggest vices.
