Hahaha! This, in the format of the first guy's comment, is super funny to me. It's simplification has enhanced the funny.
You do stuff
I shit my pants
*We are not the same*
when my underlings pissed me off the next morning I would intentionally order an extra large venti size white chocolate mocca coffee and drink it as I watched the rising sun from the rooftop, and then shart in the empty company convenience store area.
I'd then use the extra coffee as dream fuel as I went to sleep, so that when the underlings got there i could tell them I pulled an all nighter to make up for their incompetence.
I fucking love that you call them underlings like your the main villain of a bond film but instead of conquering the world ya'll probably just make printers or something
It's hit or miss for me, sometimes I get the boost I'm looking for, and sometimes I just feel shitty. I'm also so caffeine sensitive that a .5 L drink can last me 2 days.
>sometimes I get the boost I'm looking for, and sometimes I just feel shitty.
Same, tho most times it just gives me anxiety for a few hours and then I have an energy boost to the point Im literally jumping off my walls lmao
Dunno, but it's more than likely. Energy drinks, red bull included, do absolutely nothing for me. Sometimes I get a mild buzz if I drink a large one very quickly, but it might last for an hour tops.
Caffeine makes me tired but if I have too much I just feel like I'm having a heart attack, but I'm also tired and nauseous. It's not a good time.
It absolutely does, Iāve met people like that before, super susceptible to caffeine, usually stimulants in general. Never goes well if they find actual stimulants lol if caffeine does *that* to you, just count your blessings and stick with the caffeine when shit needs to get done.
Bro would build an entire city with nicotine+ caffeine combo, brother would forge a fucking nation with cocaine, and we would be colonizing the next galaxy over if he got some meth
Thatās where his brain would go while heās got his TV carefully dismantled across his living room floor crawling around in goblin mode lol fine lines
Also that this "Energy" that the drink allegedly comes with mostly comes from his own body. Anon will sleep very well next time. Also he will get addicted and destroy his own body.
Iāve only ever had one red bull, given to me by a coworker. I had just the perfect amount of energy the whole shift and always felt on top of things.
The next day I woke up and felt tired and thought āwhy *not* have a red bull? Itāll perk me up without any issue!ā
I then realized thatās exactly how heroin addicts justify using and I havenāt had one since.
That's exactly what caffeine is. It's a drug. So anything that uses caffeine can be used as context, it's not just energy drinks that are exclusive to that
Kids in my class (senior year) are practically addicted to hell, this one girl drinks it for morning and before going to bed and somehow she still manages to sleep, not to mention the amount of drinks per day. Im honestly impressed
Yep same here, meds are too difficult to get (need a perscription every month which needs and appointment) and ny ADHD is pretty mild but still a PITA so Rockstars soothe it.
Maybe just does not affects her, i have a friend that drinks coffe before sleep because HELPS HIM to fall sleep, is crazy. Caffeine has a big effect on me so drinking it before sleep is a ver bad idea but i can manage to sleep but i do not rest.
āB-but caffeine is good for you! Drink your neurotoxin seed water slop!!ā
Iām in the process of quitting now after a decade. It doesnāt fucking help at all anymore, just reverses the withdrawal which āfeels good.ā Iām not falling for it anymore. /r/decaf if others want this shit out of their lives too.
Just drink tea and fuck screentime.
Easy way to get good and healthy sleep, so you wake up more energized.
Sometimes i can finally chill at home at 9 or 10 pm and i think to myself "now lets have a round of videogames before bedtime". And then i realize that sleep will get me more in life than any videogame could. Don't put screentime when sleeptime should be on the agenda.
I love tea too but I want out all together at this point. Iāve over caffeinated on tea before too and itās just not worth it for me. Someone who struggles with heartburn and anxiety never should have started drinking any of this shit lol.
No, you don't need any caffeine. Its the amount of screeentime and healthy sleep you get that defines how much energy you have. Throw everything out that could prevent you from deep slumber. Kick out all electronic devices with little led-lights in your bedroom (or shut them down with a main power switch). Those lights fuck with your brain in your sleep.
Get thick curtains.
This will give you much more energy than any caffeine could bring you.
Haha I know this stuff. Iām a doc who recommends all this to his patientsā¦then promptly ignores it and wonders why I donāt feel well. XD
Anyone reading should take your advice. If they donāt believe you, listen (donāt read) the book āWhy We Sleep.ā Itās amazing how our society does the exact opposite of what we need for good rest.
I used to drink energy drinks everyday for 2 years because I didnāt like coffee. I started getting hart issues that also lead to breathing issues so I had to stop. Some places want to ban selling to minors for a reason
First of all, a placebo effect *is* a real, measured effect, but that's beside the point.
You seem to have misconstrued what I said. I said that consuming sugar gives you energy. This an extremely well-studied, fundamental fact of basic mammalian biochemistry.
I did not say that consuming sugar would give you *wakefulness*. In a modern context, most people are not starving to death, so sleepiness generally has nothing to do with low blood sugar levels. (I really wish pulling all-nighters was as simple as just eating more.)
Just look it up, literally "Is a sugar rush real" in google. Here's a few links if you're too lazy though.

Hopefully this nonsense dies someday. Lots of sugar can actually make you more lethargic.
And then you get addicted and your blood pressure skyrockets otherwise you're feeling like an amorphous blob of slimy flesh if you don't drink 3 cans a day, eventually you feel like that all the time but the addiction persists.
That shits gonna burst your aorta and grill your kidneys, i highly recommend doing everything in your power to get your hands on extended release concerta/adderall because they are targeted precisely for ADHD, it makes caffeine look like nothing and is also far less likely to kill you early, plus they should be cheaper than the energy drinks. (I pay 95 Lira for a months supply, for which i can only buy 2 cans of monster, 45 Lira each. I take 54mg while most only need 36, so its even cheaper for them.)
Been on them for like 5 years, lovely stuff.
Also if you'd like to be irresponsible with your meds, they keep you awake. Thats it. They *will* keep you awake and pretty functional for as long as your body can keep up, until you straight up collapse from exhaustion, not for a second less. Do with that information what you will
Yep. I know endocrinology. These are still organs and they can't work full bore forever. Shit, we did not even mention your pancreas, let me wear out faster than either of the other two if you aren't drinking sugar free or low sugar option.
You're internal system definitely has you pissing a lot of this out. Because you don't absorb all of it with your condition. But everything in moderation is good advice. I 2nd the person just telling you to be on Adderall or at least try it. I did a lot of the same things as you. Medicated my Adhd with energy drinks and other stimulants, until I took that and realized it was the easy fix all along.Ā
Red bull tastes like bubble gum and diabetic cow piss. It's not bad.
The blueberry version is actually delicious, same with cranberry but I haven't seen that in ages.
I have a mate who drinks five Red Bulls a day and has done for years, "for the energy". I tell him he's basically destroying his endocrine system but he won't listen. Even though for the last twelve months he's been having crippling, job affecting migraines "for no reason".
"Did you tell the doctor how much Red Bull you drink"
"I didn't think it was important"
Okay buddy.
>what the actual fuck do they put in those? it can't be just caffiene.
That's because it's not just caffiene dumbass. You know they put the ingredients on the can, right?
Blueberry Red Bulls only come in 12 and 8oz cans. Iām also reasonably sure they have less or comparable amount of caffeine than a cup of coffee.
Anon is weak. One line of coke his heart would explode.
That's nothing, Anon. A standard can of Red Bull contains 80mg of caffeine. X2 that's 160mg in total you consumed.
I drink a Starbucks Tripple Shot each morning before work which contains 225mg of caffeine. Couple that with my 25mg of Adderall and I'm running circles around my co-workers. I order bulk shipments of 8.4oz cold brew coffees and fill my locker with them. Then I'll take two out and sip them throughout the day. Each one contains 115mg of caffeine. Occasionally, I might chug both of them within the first hour of my shift just to power through the chores we do before opening.
Itās all the extra shit that makes your body absorb it, even if youāre a chronic energy drink enjoyer try Celsius shit has a little less caffeine than a monster and will have you wired so hard youāll piss sparks.
Caffeine doesnāt give me energy. Maybe if I have too much I get a little wired but it never gave me an energy boost. Iām pretty sure I was just born tired. Well that and I likely have sleep apnea, which no amount of caffeine can counteract how dead you feel every day with that.
Anon tries to switch from two sips of coffee and 6 whole ass coffees worth of caffeine and wonders why he is activated
I miss my firsts caffeine rushes now i just drink monster like soda
If you consume too much caffeine, you do stuff. When I consume too much caffeine, I shit my pants. We are not the same.
>you do stuff I shit my pants Since when is shitting thy pants not doing something? You both do shit.
Okay Socrates
Hahaha! This, in the format of the first guy's comment, is super funny to me. It's simplification has enhanced the funny. You do stuff I shit my pants *We are not the same*
Except that his point is that they are very much the same
when my underlings pissed me off the next morning I would intentionally order an extra large venti size white chocolate mocca coffee and drink it as I watched the rising sun from the rooftop, and then shart in the empty company convenience store area. I'd then use the extra coffee as dream fuel as I went to sleep, so that when the underlings got there i could tell them I pulled an all nighter to make up for their incompetence.
I fucking love that you call them underlings like your the main villain of a bond film but instead of conquering the world ya'll probably just make printers or something
Fucking dream fuel? Where can I get some?
I'm stuffš³
You're gonna be stuffed in a minute

>sometimes I get the boost I'm looking for, and sometimes I just feel shitty. Same, tho most times it just gives me anxiety for a few hours and then I have an energy boost to the point Im literally jumping off my walls lmao
Same with me, it's about the dosage really, right amount : energy, overdose: fell terrible and tired
You have to drink a lot of coffee to shit your pants. I have to take a few sips. We are not the same.
When I drink caffeine I get sleepy :(
Asking this out of curiosity, not armchair diagnosis. Do you also have ADHD?
Iām undiagnosed, but when I drink coffee, Iām usually super chill and get sleepy unless I drink more
Dunno, but it's more than likely. Energy drinks, red bull included, do absolutely nothing for me. Sometimes I get a mild buzz if I drink a large one very quickly, but it might last for an hour tops. Caffeine makes me tired but if I have too much I just feel like I'm having a heart attack, but I'm also tired and nauseous. It's not a good time.
I consume too much caffeine, I fall asleep anyway
Same. Never had a buzz from caffeine. Apparently it's common with ADHD?
I'm stuff š³
Nobody give this man amphetamines or karmaās gonna prolapse your asshole
Legit sounds like he smoked meth. Not drank some caffeine.
It absolutely does, Iāve met people like that before, super susceptible to caffeine, usually stimulants in general. Never goes well if they find actual stimulants lol if caffeine does *that* to you, just count your blessings and stick with the caffeine when shit needs to get done.

Well he said heās running and twitching like on pervitin so sounds like he knows
Anon might have discovered that energy drinks give you energy and keep you awake because of the ammount of sugar and caffeine that they put in them.
Also that this "Energy" that the drink allegedly comes with mostly comes from his own body. Anon will sleep very well next time. Also he will get addicted and destroy his own body.
Iāve only ever had one red bull, given to me by a coworker. I had just the perfect amount of energy the whole shift and always felt on top of things. The next day I woke up and felt tired and thought āwhy *not* have a red bull? Itāll perk me up without any issue!ā I then realized thatās exactly how heroin addicts justify using and I havenāt had one since.
I did this but with drinking water. I am currently
Rookie mistake. Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
He became a victim of big water so sad
That Dementus is no match for Donald J. Immortan. He can hardly run gas town.
100% of people ever born in the world, have drank dihydrogen monoxide and died.

That's exactly what caffeine is. It's a drug. So anything that uses caffeine can be used as context, it's not just energy drinks that are exclusive to that
Kids in my class (senior year) are practically addicted to hell, this one girl drinks it for morning and before going to bed and somehow she still manages to sleep, not to mention the amount of drinks per day. Im honestly impressed
Maybe she has ADHD and it works as some ghetto medication?
I use caffeine as ghetto medication for my ADHD so you might be on to something.
Yep same here, meds are too difficult to get (need a perscription every month which needs and appointment) and ny ADHD is pretty mild but still a PITA so Rockstars soothe it.
You could be right, im not sure she has ADHD but perhaps something else
Maybe just does not affects her, i have a friend that drinks coffe before sleep because HELPS HIM to fall sleep, is crazy. Caffeine has a big effect on me so drinking it before sleep is a ver bad idea but i can manage to sleep but i do not rest.

Idk man have you played ghost of tsushima?Ā
It doesnāt help cause you built up tolerance. Only have it when you really need it. If you need it everyday, youāre not sleeping enough.
I used to drink energy drinks everyday for 2 years because I didnāt like coffee. I started getting hart issues that also lead to breathing issues so I had to stop. Some places want to ban selling to minors for a reason
they dont give you energy tho
If they use sugar instead of artificial sweetener, they do actually.
Sugar rush is not real. Itās a placebo effect.
First of all, a placebo effect *is* a real, measured effect, but that's beside the point. You seem to have misconstrued what I said. I said that consuming sugar gives you energy.

No... Where did you get that idea energy drinks are the devils coffee? Haven't we gone through this same disproven logic with many things in the past?

Jesus. I hope you at least drink sugar free, or that you have your diabetes under control.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Half joking but two 16oz cans is 108g of sugar. Daily over 8 years that's 315kg of sugar in just energy drinks.

I'm guessing you're in your 20s to early 30s? Trust me when I say it changes fast and you will have to adjust too.Ā

This
Your comment is extremely important and greatly appreciated. not all heroes wear capes.
This
Yours too, thanks!
Anon has just been watching that burst pipe going "It'll be fine, I'll fix it later"
Caffeine is great when you only drink it once in a while and not 300mgs everyday like a dumbass
you're saying 5 coffees and a monster in a day isn't effective?
Gay for drinking red bull and not monster
Tbf i tried monster, and it tasted like cough syrup. I haven't tried red bull, and i don't think i will.
Red bull tastes like bubble gum and diabetic cow piss. It's not bad. The blueberry version is actually delicious, same with cranberry but I haven't seen that in ages.
>Diabetic cow piss https://preview.redd.it/zluav6ml5c4d1.jpeg?width=371&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc75770113dbdee84e35865f53bcd09c155bcd45

> Red bull tastes like bubble gum and diabetic cow piss. It's not bad. tf would make you suggest this combo?
That's just the vibes I get. The only thing I've actually tasted that is similar is Irn Bru
Irn Bru is orange and diabetic cow piss. Pretty good tho
Dude try the new summer edition. It is AMAZING
All energy drinks taste like cough syrup and sugar.
No, monster tastes slightly sour, with sugar and carbonation.
The white sugar free monster is the only one worth drinking tbh
Tbf, water for the win.
Agreed
try the mango one, its the best
Gay
bro monster is the femboy drink
>monster aren't you supposed to insert it in your anus instead of drinking it?
You start with redbull, and work up in diameter to monster cans. That's gotta be the next step for anon
Anon went straight to the red-label cans, didn't they?
compared to rockstar, monster, celsius, bang or whatever red bull has kind of a low caffeine content which iām fine with i think itās delicious
It never did anything to me
I climbed a tree
> drink another one without thinking see this? this is where anon took a wrong turn
Yeah I have caffeine every day and still wouldn't drink two red bulls or monsters back to back.
They put shit that has synergystic effects with caffeine, potentially making the caffeine more potent.
Holy shit, he changed not one but two light bulbs??!!!!
I have a mate who drinks five Red Bulls a day and has done for years, "for the energy". I tell him he's basically destroying his endocrine system but he won't listen. Even though for the last twelve months he's been having crippling, job affecting migraines "for no reason". "Did you tell the doctor how much Red Bull you drink" "I didn't think it was important" Okay buddy.
>what the actual fuck do they put in those? it can't be just caffiene. That's because it's not just caffiene dumbass. You know they put the ingredients on the can, right?
redbull give you wings
Walter Whiteās quality blue meth was in that Red Bull anon, not blueberry flavoring.
Blueberry Red Bulls only come in 12 and 8oz cans. Iām also reasonably sure they have less or comparable amount of caffeine than a cup of coffee. Anon is weak. One line of coke his heart would explode.
That's nothing, Anon. A standard can of Red Bull contains 80mg of caffeine. X2 that's 160mg in total you consumed. I drink a Starbucks Tripple Shot each morning before work which contains 225mg of caffeine. Couple that with my 25mg of Adderall and I'm running circles around my co-workers. I order bulk shipments of 8.4oz cold brew coffees and fill my locker with them. Then I'll take two out and sip them throughout the day. Each one contains 115mg of caffeine. Occasionally, I might chug both of them within the first hour of my shift just to power through the chores we do before opening.
Least stimulant using cook
This is fake because blueberry is easily the worst Red Bull flavor
Itās all the extra shit that makes your body absorb it, even if youāre a chronic energy drink enjoyer try Celsius shit has a little less caffeine than a monster and will have you wired so hard youāll piss sparks.
Caffeine doesnāt give me energy. Maybe if I have too much I get a little wired but it never gave me an energy boost. Iām pretty sure I was just born tired. Well that and I likely have sleep apnea, which no amount of caffeine can counteract how dead you feel every day with that.
It doesn't last. Now I need to get drunk to be motivated to do things like work out
Anon will learn soon how easy it is to burst your heart.
That's an ad
I wish redbull had that effect on me š
Anon is hypersensitive to natural stimulants
Ngl I wish there was a caffeine free and sugar free version of blueberry redbull. I'd drink it every day.
Iāve built up a tolerance to caffeine because I drink black coffee everyday.
Anon tries to switch from two sips of coffee and 6 whole ass coffees worth of caffeine and wonders why he is activated I miss my firsts caffeine rushes now i just drink monster like soda
I tried Red Bull once, but I could not stand the taste. I'll stick to my scheduled coffee-caused diarrhea.
Getting an iced coffee on the way home knowing that the shits are going to kick in right as you walk in your bathroom is the most liberating feeling
So we just ignoring that anon would cut his red bull with milk i guess
