ADHD would like a word.
Just watch me insert caffeine straight into my veins and also take a nap within 10 minutes.

SAME, I keep thinking this has to be our generations cigarettes and I hate that I'm a part of it. I've switched recently to caffeine pills and b-complex vitamins to save money. It's not quite the same as a 300 mg bang or c4 but its pretty close for pennies compared to dollars.
I have yet to try an energy drink that didn't taste absolutely terrible to me.
NOS was my vice for a while, i had to quit that.
redbull and tnt were like the baseline for me, all that gamer and influencer shit is straight up piss in a can
Me: I've cut my coffee intake down to one cup a day! Look how disciplined and restrained I am!
Also me: drinks 1.5 cans of Celsius per day
I actually do drink one cup of coffee a day. But it's a pretty big cup, so it probably has the same amount of caffeine as 1.5 Celsius cans anyway.
Not even sleeping during the day fixes my sleep deprivation. This is starting to be a major health problem.
Can confirm.
As a caffeine connoisseur, the "high end" energy drinks designed as pre-work out are all sugar free to prevent the terrible crash & stored sugar energy reserves. Was a night and day difference when I switched.
Bang, Reign, & C4 are the dedicated brands, Rockstar X-Durance is another popular one.
C4's are nice and my usual but it's lame only a few of the flavors have 300mg caffeine and I don't terribly like any of them. The artic snowcone or the "ruthless raspberry" are passable. Their Popsicle flavors are absolutely fantastic though but only 200.
The Skittles and Starburst flavors are the ones I usually go after, but yeah, they stiff you on the caffeine.
Reign is my go to, can get a 24 pack at Sam's club for $35. 8 each of white gummi bear, orange creamsicle, and rainbow sherbet.
Shit. You're gonna make me go back to reign.
I switched to Redbull because of the lower caffeine content (I feel like it's starting to effect me with jitteriness and anxiety but still need it to function (yay undiagnosed ADHD)) but that orange creamsicle was sex in my mouth and when I was able to handle it that 300mg felt AMAZING.
I might just have a heart attack at work tomorrow.
Yeah, that creamsicle is chef's kiss; definitely my favorite.
As a Nightshift Psychopath™ my caffeine dependencies are a bit different than "normal" people who drink coffee and don't get accused of Vampirism. A buddy of mine used to make "pixie stix" out of C4 powder & Boba Straws for the times you get voluntold into a 16hr shift.
I haven't reached that point yet, but I've thought about it more than I thought I would.
Rockstar and Bang are high end?
Bang, yes. The Rockstar X-Durance, specifically. The thing to look for is them being sugar free & having 300mg of caffeine in a can. That's "high end" compared to Monster, Red Bull, etc.
Holy shit, 300mg caffeine sounds insane to me (a German). Over here Energy Drinks are not allowed to contain more than 32mg caffeine/100ml. So a big can (500ml) would have 160ml. Those are already a bit too much for me, I can only imagine how 300mg would feel.
I like NOS, personally. But it bugs me so much how their sugar free version isn't just sugar free; it's also a completely different flavor and tastes horrible. The normal version tastes like nectarines or something. The sugarless one tastes like orange juice that's been carbonated but with nothing to cut through the bitterness of the carbonic acid.

Nah they took Jack3d off the market.
...no they didn't...
I should have said "The original Jack3d" They took the DMAA out which was what made Jack3d kick ass in the first place.
I missed your reference entirely. Not something I was even aware of at all. My bad!
Hey man, whatever it takes to function.
You just need to bang a load of valium up your arse for the comedown.
Energy drinks are counter intuitive.
The first thing to understand is there is no such thing as a "sugar rush" in the sense of gaining a burst of energy. The crash though, is very real.
Your body has not evolved to process that much sugar, so it tries to store it, which itself is energy intensive, so consuming large amounts of sugar will make you lethargic.
If you need the burst of energy in the morning, drink black coffee. You'll learn to love it as your palette develops.
Energy drinks are counter intuitive.
This argument is ignoring that energy drinks a. have the same caffeine (usually more) than the coffee you offer as an alternative, b. don't generally use sugar as a marketing term promising energy, and rather c. tend to offer sugar free alternatives to come across as healthier
I just drink 6 shots of espresso. My body cannot take the sugar in energy drinks
Dude! Thats so unhealthy! Just do 6 shots of tequilla instead....
I do a couple lines and a couple shots to calm the jitters.
My body can take the sugar from one energy drink a lot better than it can take 6 shots of espresso.
That's fair actually, it does do numbers on my gut
I tried Brite, a bit more healthier version of energy drinks, and I’m feeling much better not forcing myself to drink what tastes like battery acid in the morning. Still, the best would be to just stay away from caffeine, I had some periods like that lasting several months, was feeling great, and sleeping great
is Brite even worth trying, i mean 2€ per can is pretty much more expensive than anything comparable on the market.
I ended up around 1.3 per can, ordered 3 boxes with some discount. Will order one again soon, as they are throwing me another discount if I leave a review.
Defintely not cheap, but also not too far from brand name energy drink prices in Germany. Of course in Easter EU you can get Hell or something similar for around 0.5-0.6, it’s hard to beat that.
........how do you know what battery acid tastes like?
( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sir your eye appears to be twitching. Did you get battery acid in your eyes too?
That’s just the caffeine…
