What do you guys/girls think about energy drinks?

I can explain it at the biochemical interaction level, but you have to sit through a lecture with me. However, when I say to stay away from it, I mean it from the bottom of my heart to warn you three things that those I lost suffered from them even after I warned them nearly a decade.
  • The drinks will eat your stomach up and destroy your kidneys. My brother is suffering from it.
  • Worst case scenario, cancers of the stomach and intestines. Lost a few friends from excessive drinking these craps.
  • Chemical dependencies from high level of sugars, and resulted with diabetes. 5 suffered from this. Now they are on insulin. Too late for regrets.
The chemicals also reduce your body abilities to suppress inflammation, reduce your mind to shut down during rest phases, and cause hallucinations during high active phases. I can go on and on, but under PE, it will hurt you more than benefit you.

As for coffee, too much of a good thing is a bad thing, when you load it with cream and sugars. I drink 8 to 12 cups a day, black, but at the right timing to benefit from it. One hour after eating, stop drinking one hour before eating, dilute coffee concentration half the normal brew strength, and drink water using coffee (caffeine) to flush my system clean.

I get up really early and coffee really helps jump start my brain and body fast. ESP if I only had 6 hours or less sleep.

Death Wish coffee (high caffeine) and Nut Pods (only 10 cal per tbsp) with liquid stevia is mostly my only vice, with some Chillantro every few months since I can't really handle bud in high doses any more without getting anxiety.

Had a sugar-free Red Bull, before a workout for the first time in a long time other day.
Man, it tasted terrible to me. I can't believe I used to dink them everyday.

Your coffee may be a bit down to earth level compared to mine. I drink stovetop Italian and dark French roasted coffee that goes beyond the so called Death Wish and Vietnamese coffee. If you take the normal 12 cups of coffee most people drink, condense to 6 cups which is the standards Starbucks, reduce further downt o 4 cups which is Death Wish, and boil down even more to 2 cups, that's where I am. Take that 2 cups and fill it up to the mug size I normally drink daily, which is 32oz. It's practically like flavored water to me now.

My brother used to drink this daily. It wrecked his stomach and liver. Try to stay far away from energy drink when you can.

Death Wish is just a brand. I don't blame you for taking your coffee like that. I love strong coffee.

I know Death Wish brand. We have a local coffee bar that brews Death Wish brand fresh on order. Still weak for me.
 
Great you are still healthy but energy drinks aren't the healthiest..Water there are brands that are way better than average bottled water..

That's a bit too much. 1 or 2 per week, it's good if you drink sufficient amount of water. 1 or 2 a day, that's asking for bladder and liver problems, not to mention intestinal and heart.

Ok. I drink at least a gallon of water every day

Since it's cold there, about 3/4 gallon, with proper electrolyte supplement to prevent magnesium and salt loss. With that in mind, you can now drink 1, mayyyyyyyybe 2, energy drink a day.
