Energy Drinks

[DVRP]

So i stopped drink energy drinks, and all pop ( only drink it when im drinking). And ive noticed not only do i go to bed at an appropriate time, but I also sleep better, and have alot more energy. After seeing this change in the first 2 weeks, im pretty sure im not going to touch one ever again.

Has anyone else stopped drinking energy drinks and had the same effects?

Yup, the reason I stopped was because they made my heart race after drinking them for a couple of days in a row. The only time I ever drink them is if I'm working and have a show after work. Kudos to you for stopping though, the caffeine is so addicting.

Those things are completely toxic.

I honestly never understood the need for them in the first place.
I found just eating well provides you with good energy during the whole day, which to me is FAR superior than getting a short term boost (an hour or so) and then feeling lethargic and shitty afterwards.
I've had maybe 2 energy drinks in my entire life and I never felt there was any positive benefits about them at all.
I just stick to water and sports drinks (Powerade, Gatorade), I don't even really drink soda anymore. It just feels best that way

They're good for counteracting lack of sleep, but I wouldn't use them more than once every couple of weeks at most. More often and it's just a really bad idea IMO. These days I just use black coffee or espresso when that need arises, generally 1-2 times a month.

Not drinking sugary shit like energy drinks, soda, and sports drinks is a good way to lose some weight, feel better, and save money. Water ftw.

My DR said that Energy drinks are a serious concern especially for the 15-25 crowd.

That said I gave up caffine 2 months ago...once in a while Ill grab a half caf soy latte but only when I need some wake up. I sleep so hard I dream of taking a piss because I have to go so bad when I wake up... thats some major nap time.

i developed heart palpitations and paranoia due to my mind running at a million miles a minute from drinking relentless, I now only drink it when I really need a boost and dont have another option

Im a Sugar Free Red Bull drinker. I know its not the best thing to be drinking but I love the caffeine! I have this theory tho. I think caffeine lowers your body temp. I always feel really really cold after drinking some Red Bull.

Im trying to cut back on my caffeine intake. Its been quite high for a while. Im trying to replace it with water.

A kid from the high school up the road from me died of cardiac arrest at 17 years old because of drinking excessive amounts of energy drinks.

Damn. This thing is banned in many countries... from what I've heard, France, Denmark, and Norway among them.

I never tried it myself, TBH. I do drink a lot a coffee when I'm at work, but not even half a litre in a morning seems to help when I seriously lack sleep

wow! i dont notice much 'energy" frpm energy drinks. i remember at the last GWAR show i went to i drank 4 monster 16 oz cans in about an hour (i dont drink alcohol)felt kinda sick to my stomach but no energy. then again i drink anywhere fron 2 to 4 pots of coffee a day lol.

I drink a lot of energy drinks, but to die at 17 of cardiac arrest from them is just insane.
although I do believe I've developed a caffeine addiction, as around 11 o clock, I'm really craving one, if I don't get one, I'm usually falling asleep in math class.

I used to drink em in high school but since I've started eating healthier an apple will give me the same boost in the morning

I do sugar-free energy drinks. That way all the energy is from caffeine and not sugar and I find that there's less of a chance of a crash.

Oh, but I know it's bad for me... but falling asleep at work isn't good for me, either.

I used to have one every other day or so when I was 17; quickly abandoned them when I started thinking about my health and realizing that they're pure, unforgivable shit. I just drink green tea all day, every day. I don't remember what it's like to be tired for no reason.

I had one all the time, like every day, when I was 13. I'm now 17 and haven't had one in years. I think they stunted my growth.
