Do you drink energy drinks?

[Anonymous No.10716711]

Occasionally. Sugar free rockstar.

I use caffeine pills 'cause they're so much cheaper. 5 cents vs $2-3.

[Anonymous No.10716752]

i drank one for the first time in like two years the other day
rockstar fruit punch because it was cheapest and normal rockstar tastes way too sour and skunky
felt wired all day, was up all night, then crashed and slept like 18 hours

2 times a day sometimes 3 (Monday through Friday only)
I even got matching shirts I wear to the gas station for the drink I decide to buy that day which is usually a monster energy but I also got a rockstar shirt.

Coffee is better for you.

I've never met anyone who regularly drank energy drink that also wasn't a lardass.

used to drink at least 2 monsters a day plus several cups of coffee, it was not a good time for my body

[Anonymous No.10717891]

As of now I've really toned it down, haven't had one in a week I think, it was putting too much pressure on my heart and I'd feel that pressure even when I didn't drink them.

[Anonymous No.10718451]

I managed to drink 4 redbulls, 1 a week before they stopped affecting me.
Is there something I'm missing? I don't think my diet changed but it's been like 3 months with breaks and I still hope that when I need that energy I can drink it.
I don't want to try drinking more than one, it seems like a slippery slope to me.

Used to drink the white monster energy drinks but the fact is that it's too expensive, tastes like an oil slick, and I'd rather kill myself with shit I know is bad like bacon fat and fructose than stew my guts with the colonel's special blend of thirty-two chemicals I can't pronounce.

I sometimes wonder what drives people to react to so hostilely to someone eating or drinking something they think is unhealthy. Do some people genuinely feel superior to others just because of what they put in their stomach? Literally vegan-tier thinking

Nah. They make my heart race incredibly fast and I get super paranoid because I have food allergies that can cause anaphylaxis and it's a similar sensation.

Once in a while. Maybe once a month if I didn't get enough sleep. I'll stop at the store and grab one of these so I don't feel sluggish at work. No one else likes these, but I do.

[Anonymous No.10720030]

I used to until I got kidney problems

[Anonymous No.10720214]

>>10716661
No because I'm not in 6th grade anymore. I'm an adult now and I achieve sufficient energy by getting enough sleep and eating healthy.

they're literally good for you. caffeine has a ton of benefits, and everything else in them is either vitamins or nutritious sugar.

Sugar, in all forms, including the form of processed white sugar, is healthy. Not just healthy, its a superfood.

Lets examine the reasons why:

First of all, the entire human body runs on energy. It needs energy to keep the heart beating, to keep the muscles strong, to keep the brain sharp. Sugar is the single purest form of energy ever invented by man. It is like fossil fuels for the human body. There is NOTHING close to pure white sugar like this. Most of the worlds best endurance athletes, such as Ultramarathon runner Paul 'Pea Protein' Pestlethwaite and endurance deadlifting champions Robert 'Rich in Fiber' Frank eat pure sugar with every meal.

Second, the way sugar is processed is much healthier than fat. Fat takes a long time for your body to convert to energy, and sugar takes a few seconds at worst. Of course this is healthier for you. If you were offered a mechanism to stop yourself bleeding, that took 5 hours to work, you wouldn't use it, because you'd bleed to death in the meantime. Fat as an energy source is like this, it takes so long to work that you become even more tired in the meantime. I eat 300g sugar a day and never get tired.

Third, human teeth are not made to stay in the mouth for longer than 4 decades. In nature humans do not have teeth beyond their fourth decade. This is why we love sugar, because it fills the role of removing the teeth. Teeth that stay for longer become infested with microbes and therefore kill you. Before we started eating fatty foods, humans actually chewed beyond the age of 40 without teeth.


The meat and dairy industries are lying to you, because they are afraid of Veganism.

A friend of mine drinks Monster green with vodka every day. It is horrible and the only good thing is staying awake while getting drunk.

He was given expensive vodka for his bday at one point and kept it shelved for special occasions. However when I was over and he ran out he opened the bottle and downed it with more monster, not even bothering to try it without. He should've been shot on sight.

I think it is fucking disgusting, if you drink too much you just feel awful.
