    Do people not realize how horrible that stuff is and that there are far better ways to gain a jolt, like with fruit?

    Fruit is not going to get you through a hangover.

    I have a friend who drinks one every morning and eats nothing else so its basically his breakfast. Its gotta be terrible for your liver and nervous system.

    I drink a cup of coffee every morning so I cant say much.

    It gives them a charge for that morning slog before the big workday... I stop drinking energy drinks two years ago... Black coffee is just the best thing ever... People don't understand that a good cup of coffee doesn't need all that sugar and cream.. The reason for that is because the coffee is garbage and you need all that extra stuff to make it taste better.. good coffee you don't need to add anything because it taste great on its own..

    I don't think coffee is near as bad and at least there are some health benefits to drinking coffee

    You have to juice a mix of different fruits and other stuff to get similar feeling. Simply eating won't get that same energy.

    I drank a redbull or monster every morning for years about a year ago switched to strictly coffee now I'm moving on to tea in the morning.


    I gave it up #1 reason as it is terrible for your teeth. (I know coffee is bad to but energy drinks are awful) #2. Money. 3 bucks a day sometimes more as two in a day wasn't uncommon. That's a giant waste of money it adds up.

    Since then I haven't missed them. Coffee/Tea get the job done just as easily but really the key is just getting good sleep....

    (I'll never give up Jager Bombs but those aren't very often)

    You don't need to be a contributing memeber to use Google.

    I will sell my Google membership to anyone willing to buy it though? $20? :grin:

    Because people lack sleep and willingness to do things naturally.
