Current Events > People shouldn't be shamed for drinking energy drinks

(+) Yeah! (+)

Cheese and rice, now we're caffeine shaming? Yall just lookin for dumb shit you can use as base for belittlement, shits sadder than unironically liking Rockstar Energy

b-but you don't see Asian teens downing energy drinks very often and they perform in school/work just fine ! IT MUST BE BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS RAISE THEM TO EAT A VEGETABLE AND LEAN MEAT DENSE DIET! HUR DUR DUR

As someone who downed energy drinks working night shift for 10 years, you really should limit yourself on them... One is fine but drinking multiple back to back isn't great...

Luckily I found a good replacement that also helped me actually drink water during work...

Energy drinks are the military way!

I haven't had that one in awhile.

I work in an office with mostly 40 and 50 year olds, so I hear it a lot. If it's someone in their 20's or early 30's they usually don't care. Hell one of the guys near my age saw me drinking a Rockstar and started recommending different flavors I should try

Yeah, I need to ween myself off eventually. What started it was having a crying infant at home and having a commute that required me to wake up at 5:30 am. I was going into work absolutely exhausted, so I tried a monster.

Do you know how caffeine works?

coffee is a lot healthier (provided we're talking about coffee and not creamer and sugar with coffee added)

Yeah, because we all know 14 and 15 year olds take their coffee black.

This topic is a good reminder that food/drink elitists are the worst.

Water elitists are the weirdest/worst

The only time I ever seek it out really is after exercising, and then yeah, it tastes good, but holy hell do they act like it's the greatest tasting thing on earth at all times, I swear.

* Sleep disruption.
* Jumpiness or restlessness.
* Increased anxiety.
* Mood swings.
* High blood pressure.
* Abnormal heart rhythms.
* Seizures.

And probably some other things like diabetes and heart disease from all the sugar and caffeine. I'm not saying kids should be banned from having them or anything, but children really shouldn't need one to stay awake. And while there is a problem with children getting enough sleep, excessive caffeine use or overuse is only going to make it better over time.

Now provide proof that all of those are caused by energy drinks exclusively.

I need proof that drinking sugary high caffeine drinks every day from childhood to adulthood is bad for you.

Espresso is the only one, true energy drink.

1 ounce of espresso has the same amount of go-juice as 12 ounces of a Monster energy drink. A doppio has as much as 24 ounces of Monster.

And an espresso or a doppio are drunk in about 1 minute. Meaning you feel the caffeine rush hit you all at once. Unlike the gradual, slow awakening with an energy drink.

Crowing about drinking Monster is just someone saying, "I can't handle real power! Pwease cut it down, dilute it 12 to 1."

And you don't get nearly as much sugar, too.
