Absolutely a good thing. As someone who drank a lot of energy drinks in high school, it was not worth it.

Sadly, large amounts of caffeine were a way to control my ADHD when I couldn't afford medication. I still usually have an energy drink daily, even though I'm medicated now. At least that's less that what I used to do.

Why? I've consumed caffeine for a long time without any problems...genuinely asking

[-] Jumper775@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s not only much cheaper to not have a caffeine addiction, but it also I think makes me much more present as I don’t need caffeine in the mornings to function, and I get enough sleep. Just seems better to me.

No time for sleep when you either

  1. Need to work till 17:00 and then also do need to do even more when you're home

Or

  1. Party the whole night

I just love super strong flavors. I drink ice water throughout the day after my breakfast, though.

Red bull profits go brrrr.

Curious why people drink energy drinks when they sit on their ass all day. Like, athletes don't drink this shit lol; gamers do.

Shit's addictive. As a long time smoker who tried energy drinks during crunch time, I can assure you the withdrawal symptoms and sharp decline in effectiveness is exactly like smoking.

Don't smoke nor drink energy drinks, kids.

I mean, when I stopped nicotine that just caused me to "replace" it with caffeine instead. Not sure which is worse tbh

Kitchens love the shit. Seems popular in manufacturing, too.

Easier on the stomach than coffee, and free manufacturing break room coffee can be one of the harshest chemicals in industry.
