I've got a blue glass rooster and bawls next to each other on my desk right now.

I was just reading that Redline is the "most powerful"

I saw a co-worker bring it to work on day and it says on the label not to drink more than 4oz at a time. :0

There was a dumbass that drank half of one or the whole bottle for his prework out... 10 minutes later I saw him in the 24 hour fitness locker room with Arlington FD standing over him checking on him.

I use to drink 4 monsters a day back when I was 18 and I did that for 3 years. Then I started drinking red bulls... I'm 28 almost 29 and I might have a red bull once or twice a week. Hopefully I wont kimbo slice out of here from drinking all that crap.

I drank a whole one one time by mistake. It tasted terrible so I just chugged it.

I broke out in a bright red rash, felt like I was on fire, and my heart was beating super fast.

I poured 4oz of it in a cup and drank it. It made my hands start shaking. Eff that stuff!!

As other's have said, not trying to sound preachy, but I've given up caffeine pretty much completely. I might drink a half of a large DP from sonic two to three times a month. We drink decaffeinated sweet tea at home, but for the most part I drink about a gallon of water a day and a glass of tea at dinner, maybe a small glass of 2% before bed.

Get off the caffeine completely and get a goods night sleep and you'd be surprised at how you feel.

It's a downward spiral, you're tired so you feel you need the drink, so you drink one, then that doesn't cut it so you need more. You're tired because you drink crap stimulants and then you drink crap stimulants because you're tired.

I'm am nowhere near what anyone would define as in good shape/health, so take the above with a grain of salt.

Exactly my experience. I will have a cup of coffee here or there when I need to feel like I'm on meth, but it would be once every other week max, any more and I start to depend on it. My last race was really tight on time so I got back on the juice, I am still trying to come off of it, feel like shit. I am drinking 2 decaf cups a day, that little 8-10mg hit from the decaf actually has an effect now that I am weened back down.

Every now and then I'll down a 5-hour energy. Maybe 6 or 8 times a year, at most. They work. I fucked up and drank two one time and then got drunk. The next morning sucked.

To this day, I still have never had a sip of coffee.

It smells so good yet taste so bad.

That's what I hear. Honestly, I never liked the smell much until the past couple of years, and now I can say it smells okay sometimes. My thing is I see how crazy people are about their coffee, like crackheads. It literally has a whole lot of people by the balls. I'll pass on that. Not trying to be judgy, because I drink a lot of whiskey, but one vice is enough for me.

Coffee bad - whiskey good!

I agree!

Coffee bad - whiskey good!

I agree!

Shit, I prefer the both of them!

Energy Drinks

I developed heart palpitations last year at the age of 28. The cardiologist was asking me about my drinking habits.

Edit: damnit I was 29 last year. Sometimes I forget I'm 30 [emoji107][emoji107][emoji107]

2 cokes a day and a white monster about 3 times a week. (fuck those are good when ice cold) and some water here and there.

He told me I'm drinking way too much caffeine and nowhere near enough water. It was a weird feeling to feel my heart beat and then not for a second or so and then start again. Freaked me out.

I completely cut out caffeine cold turkey for about 6-7 months. If I had a coke it was caffeine free and it was rarely. Lots and lots of water.

Now I still drink lots of water, when I'm in the mood for something carbonated I will have a flavored carbonated water. I will now have a white monster about once or twice a month, usually when going to the casino.

Back when I was a server/bartender, someone did a energy drink run before rush and brought me back a redline. This was about 7-8 years ago when redline first came out and was stronger. I downed the whole thing and had a cup of coffee (that I had already poured myself before the energy drink. Didn't want to waste it haha!)

5 minutes later I was shaking and could hardly pour people drinks. It was crazy.

My brother in highschool had 2 big red bulls one morning. No food or water, and passed out trying to make it to the water fountain for some water because he didn't feel good. Hit his head on the floor and required stitches.

I don't drink coffee, never have. Can't stand red bulls or the like. However, I am addicted to the Starbucks double shot cold drinks, at least one a day, even supplements a meal.

Dr pepper is my vice, at least 24oz a day. My kidneys hate me.
