re: How bad is your energy drink/caffeine habit?

So have I, was trying to be open minded about the possibility that it actually serves some people well and I didn't want to paint with too broad of a brush. I've never taken either, I have no need to even entertain even the thought, but I've seen lots of people experience nothing but trouble from taking Adderall mainly, and Vyvanse to a lesser degree. It seems so rare to hear from someone who has nothing but good things to say about their experience on either. and not surprisingly....most of those folks seem kinda like tweakers...functional, job holding, car payment having, home owning tweakers, but tweakers all the same. I just don't trust it.

I'm not surprised that a discussion about caffeine attracted someone asking about amphetamines as this always happens. It amuses me. I'll stand by for this discussion's inevitable turn into the finer details about Zyn and different flavors of Zyn and "Where can I get some Zyn?" ugggh, fricking Zyn

6-7am 16oz coffee

12pm 200mg caff pill

6ish PM sometimes another caff pill, ill usually bust it in half though.

$3.00 90ct 200mg caff pills are my shite now.

Just got tired of spending $4+ dollars per day on Reigns and shite so now I will usually just bless myself with one on Friday drive home from work.

I drink 3-4 cups of black coffee daily. I occasionally have a Monster but few and far between. Maybe once or twice in a months time.

I cut all that stuff out. Green tea is the most caffeine I get.

I think you’ve had to much caffeine

200 MG of modafinil chased with a cup of coffee has me invincible for my 12 hour shift

Your fine. I used to easily drink a pot a day. Sometimes more. Now I only drink coffee in morning and cut off at noon. I would never give up coffee because it’s my favorite morning ritual.

I'm proud to say I have kicked my caffeine habit. Just slowly cut back until now I might have a coffee every few days.

My daily consisted of:

2 16oz coffees before work
2 16oz coffees at work, sometimes 3
1 diet coke at lunch
1 diet coke in the evening

I felt cracked out all the time. Now I drink decaf coffee in the morning and that's it.

A few years ago I read a book called The Blue Zones. It details the societies in the world that live the longest and what they eat and drink. Not going to go into a big healthy foods thing here, but one thing they all have on common is they drink black coffee and red wine.

Energy drinks are poison. Dumping sugar and sugar substitutes and creamers on coffee is bad. Drink it black. It works better anyway and has health benefits.
