Energy drinks make me tired.

C4, Celsius, Prime, none of that shyt keeps me wired. I like them though. I try to have more Celsius, but I do fukk with Dream Pop and Tropical Punch Prime.

but as far as drinking them for workouts and stuff like that, it doesn't do anything but make me wanna piss and then curl up to nap
Are you drinking them while eating

Originally, yeah, but now if I drink them, it's by itself

If I drink any of them with a meal, the most likely one would be Celsius cuz some of them are rizz-free so it's just lemonade in a can
Makes sense

I find that if i drink monster or rockstar whilst eating a meal i will feel sleepy - probably more due to the meal. However if i drink it alone i get a nice energy boost.

I dont drink it for energy though. I genuinely like the taste. I just went a month without drinking any though after having 3-4 a week. Gonna keep it dialed back and only have them here or there.

They meed to bring back the peach monster

why Strawberry Lemonade don't exist anymore I'll never understand.

I've learned enough to know to never drink more than 1 a day and to try to avoid them at night. Those drinks will have me pissing throughout the night.

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 (Iโ€™m not a morning person at all).

I heard itโ€™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 told this story here plenty of times when I worked retail In my 20's my 37 year old GM had a heart attack,

we had a promo in the store with Red bull and Management had a fridge in the office stocked every week for free. he wasn't a fat aslob neither matter of fact he used to play football (safety) in college, That MF used to drink like 5-6 of them shyts a day. I would drink about 2-3 but after that I cut back,

I drink 4 oz of Bustelo:krs: coffee in the morning with raw sugar, then Green tea with "yerba mate" and honey maybe 2 more times one at lunch , and one as a pick me up for the home stretch of answering emails at 3pm I leave work between 4 and 430 each day and I don't consume caffeine the rest of the day. It's not just the caffeine and sugar, they Got mad shyt in it like Guarana taurine etc etc.

Drinking six energy drinks in a day is wild. :francis:

I hope breh recovered from that.

At most I would only drink two and even then I felt like I was overdoing it.

They will fukk you up if you donโ€™t keep it in moderation. I used to be bad about coffee too, but slowed down after a co-worker had a heart attack at work. He drink energy drinks, cokes, and chained smoked all day until his body couldnโ€™t take it anymore. He survived, lost a bunch of weight and is a fitness head now.

It can get addictive specially when it's free. He recovered thanks to quick intervention and the hospital was family close.

Max I did was 4 of the tall ones but I worked 28 hours straight that day prepping for black Friday.
