Why is there such a huge culture difference between office baws drinking coffee and skilled labor baws with energy drinks?

Seems like all our field baws drink are Monsters. Stopped at the gas station this morning and every single blue collar baw I saw grabbed a Monster or Red Bull out the cooler.

At the office now and everyone is walking around with a cup of coffee.

I’ve never seen a CEO, COO, or executive officer walking around with an energy drink in hand much like it’s rare to see a baw toting around a thermos or warning up a pot of coffee in the field office or construction trailer.

Coffee has been around forever and is typically free or very cheap while these energy drinks are a fairly new fad and $3+ a pop.

Can some baw explain themselves to me?

I drink coffee during the week at the office. Weekends during the summer I drink energy drinks because I'm up around doing stuff and don't want to tote coffee around in the heat.

Maybe because they're working outside and don't want hot coffee.

im white collar and i drink both.


but i can answer for you, most field guys drink coffee in the morning, but hard to keep it warm nor do you want a warm drink in the heat. so if you want a pick me up, you drink a monster. plus the energy drinks have more caffeine.

why do you care so much about what other people do?

i mean you are the dumb frick who thinks people should only pay cash for things. and the only time you have seen a ceo or coo is when they pass you in the lobby. stop acting like you are some big shot. Trust me, those of us with an iq over 105 know you are full of shite just by your lack of understanding on financial matters.

I'm trying to lose weight and have high blood pressure, so Monster is a no go for me. It sucks because I love the taste and there is always a free Monster truck outside the office.

I drink neither. I have actually never had an energy drink and have only had a few cups of coffee in my life.

When you are working out in the heat, does a hot cup of coffee sound refreshing? About as refreshing as a cold drink while you freeze at your desk with a space heater or electric blanket to keep you warm like i’ve seen office guys do.

Also I work with a lot of accountants and finance bros, and they drink more Monster than coffee.

It’s Louisiana and drinking a piping hot cup of coffee in the 98 deg heat for your caffeine fix probably isnt that enjoyable.

Because nothing quenches the dry mouth that comes from popping 2 30mg IR Adderalls so you can lay down some sweet dimes at the plant like an ice cold 20oz Red Bull.

Have a “White collar” job.

Most days I drink coffee, however if I come across the Strawberry Bubblicious Ghost energy drink, I will grab a few of those and drink those for a few days

Monster is so terrible for you. I can't believe people drink that garbage.
