I'm pretty much immune to Red Bull at this point. Bang makes my brain tingle real good though.

I usually drink them before going to bed so that I don't get a caffeine withdrawal headache in the middle of the night

No you dont.

No.

I only drank them because of flavors that extended beyond typical soda and juice options, and I used to drink Monster on a near daily-basis at some point. People thought I was addicted, but it was really just my choice to pass time with. I cut down for the past 4-5 years.

I never let the stuff sit in my mouth, but I only have one set of teeth so I figure that + money saved. Also, while I do drink tea, I also kinda wanted to make a point I don't rely on caffeine. Was able to demonstrate the fact this stuff was always just a choice and not an addiction. Every once in a while I'll try out a new flavor, although the vitamin aftertaste seems more prominent now so it really isn't compelling in any way to get another can sooner than later.

Yes I do

Why do I think I'm still shitposting on CE at almost 2 in the morning

Because you are awake from an energy drink. You didnt have one and go to sleep.

Absolutely they do. I mainly drink Rockstar Punched (tastes like a sweet, fruit punch soda), which has 240 mg of caffeine. If I drink one of those on an empty stomach, after a few hours, my hands are visibly shaking. And regardless of if I eat or not, I periodically feel heart palpitations after drinking one. But I deal with that because I'm usually tired and those keep me from feeling groggy all day.

I know badass here is addicted yet it has no affect, nice flex, but youd just not drink any for a day and itd work again the following day.

Edit: if you are drinking all day it literally has diminishing returns. I stop at 2 energy drinks because a 3rd doesnt do shit by the end of the day after having 2 earlier. 1 for breakfast and one at lunch.

I've never noticed a difference after drinking one. I'm not a fan of energy drinks so I rarely drink them.. maybe one a year just cause sometimes I'll see an interesting flavor.

At that point your body is tired and youre not tricking it with caffeine anymore.

I drink them all the time for their flavor only. Usually 3 Monsters at work then about half to one can at home while I unwind. Drinking them before bed doesn't seem to affect my sleep.

I rarely drink them but lately Ive been getting a few each week since Im having to do 60 hours a week for work due to a staffing crisis. They definitely perk me up but I also feel the crash later so Im trying not to use them much.
