    Now if only I could figure out why rehab Monsters are the only ones to not give me headaches anymore… even when compared to a different energy drink with similar caffeine…

    I’m so old I see Monster in the group on the right.

    Red Bull is the real OG king of energy drinks. The rest are imitations.

      Just realized he died, but the red bull owner also was a right wing populist who had questionable content published through his TV channel. Also the original drink tastes… not great and is quite expensive

        I mean technically speaking I’m wrong too, the real Red Bull is Krating Daeng which the Austrian right wing guy appropriated and added fizz to to cater to western tastes.

        I love how western culture takes stuff from the east, gives it a little bit of artificiality and marketing speak and now it’s a modern western invention!

    Monster and Redbull are nasty. C4 or Reign for me. Celsius seems to ramp up my anxiety for some reason

      Congrats on your free flight, bozo. Enjoy the concentration camp. Here in freeville, home of the free, you’re free to like monster or Red Bull and that’s it.

      Redbull is mid but monster has a certain taste I can’t get anywhere else. Keeps me coming back tbh. Plus the neon vitamin piss after drinking it is cool

      Celsius has a crazy amount of caffeine and it’s packed into a smaller can than the rest of them.

        The regular Celsius cans have 200mg IIRC, Bang and Reign are higher.

        I uhhh, don’t really process caffeine normal, i kinda drink them to relax 😶 its not even a tolerance thing, i can go months without, chug one, take a nap.

        Edit; although i did down 9 shots (more like 3 small coffee cups full) of really strong espresso in one sitting once. That was not pleasant.

          If high doses of caffeine make you feel relaxed, you may want to look into taking an ADHD assessment, and getting some medication. This is not medical advice. Just a suggestion.

              Same boat here. Recently prescribed the vyvase? One and it’s been a total game changer.

              But legit would drink coffee before bed to sort of “focus” on sleeping lmao. Was “dialing it back” and still at 4-5 cups a day prior to meds. Now just have a single cup around 1 pm.

              A bit sad about it - I love the flavor of coffee. And energy drinks. But at the same time 3 hours after first dose everything in my mind became so much less “aggressive” like my executive wasn’t being pulled. And I could push it.
