Never drank Energy Drinks since they taste disgusting, I can't imagine how people stomach even one. That said, I do have a soda problem that I've been cutting down on. Water is the way before I hit my 40s in 13 years.

I'm not even a regular coffee drinker.

Yeah it's chemical but so are many candies.. I like it once in a while but itsvery obvious it's poison lol

 

[TLZ]

Did that actually happen to Justin or is he just acting in the video?

 

[Papacheeks]

Man the actor in the video needs to fucking watch himself. Guy can't be in good health.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I heavily campaign against these whilst working in the esports sector and have been banned from few events due to me recommending not to use their potential sponsors products, the damage it does is ridiculous and after I quit drinking them I felt 1000% better

Yeah aren't some of these drinks even banned in other countries? That should be a warning sign.

People, just get a good bowl of cereal, couple of sausage patties, vitamin drink or gummies (preferably with low sugar) and maybe a banana and you're good to go.

When redbull first came out two of my mates stole a 24 pack from a place they where working thinking it was some new booze and when I called down later that evening to smoke some weed with them you'd think they where high on speed, I never laughed as much at the state of them, needless to say the come down lasted days. I've seen guys on site drink that shit morning noon and night every day and smoke constantly, some people are just born fucking stupid.

Only time I ever drink it is when on a long car trip, I'll keep a tin in the glovebox just encase I start to feel tired and need a pick me up whilst driving

Literally just eat any fruit instead. Same effect, way less sugar, less calories, and the energy is actually legit (lasts way longer).

May just take a tad longer for that energy to kick in, but that probably also depends a lot on your metabolism.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

That's true for me and I should drink less.. (Coffee) But I get what Dr. Suchong says (I think) in regards to "rationally". I have ADD and caffeine, much like ADD medication, helps me in the sense that I can, for example, internally formulate my thought and communicate those way better.. If that makes sense...

Yes this is pretty much what I was driving at.
Anxiety jumbles my thought process, the energy drink focuses it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That morbid obesity doesn’t help that actor none either. Those organs are already crying out.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

He had luck with his 12 cans. A teenager died after he drank a coffee, a mountain dew and shortly after that a 0,5l energy drink. After that he went playing basketball in the hot sun. It was to much for his heart.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

"Sir, what have you drank tonight"

 

[Dr. Claus]

I just don't get how people can get that large and be OK. I am not a healthy fucker either, but god damn.

 

[Insane Metal]

Well he must be dead by now




this is always the best that leave us first.

WTF has he not seen his own episode about a gas station sushi?!

 

[p_xavier]

I drank one coffee in my life and I thought I would have a heart attack.

 

[JimboJones]

Coffee isn’t packed full of sugar and a crap tonne of other shit like taurine and Ginseng extract.

He would have probably suffered some caffiene toxicity poisoning from 12 cups of coffee but not pancreas failure.

Energy drinks don't have suger either if you go for the suger free variety.
And I see people jizzing those flavoured syrups into their coffee like there going out of fashion.

 

[rushgore]

Interesting. One would guess that a gamer would be more resilient compared to a standard human.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I actually like this channels content. He has many interesting stories of stupid stuff that people do to themselves.

Edit: Here's another interesting one.

 

[Kerotan]

12 of those energy drinks at 160 mg of caffeine each is also 1920 mg of caffeine. Equivalent to 30 shots of espresso.

Plus whatever other garbage is in there to sound cool on the label.

I know a young English lad who drinks up to 6 redbulls. He's only like 20 but it will catch up to him eventually. He does it because he feels it gives a competitive edge on warzone.

Energy drinks advertising through streamers is a very clever and dangerous thing.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

drink one or two cups of this instead. much better. if it has to be energy drink try to get one out of natural ingredients and little to no sugar. also drinking 12? wtf? at this point you might as well do coke. lol

 

[Ceadeus]

I can't drink that sh*t anymore. It's pretty much guaranteed heartburn.

It's crazy to see how many people drink this daily

Then there's all of these G Fuel sponsored streamer lol

 

[MasterCornholio]

Whip it good.

I seriously need to try tea prepared this way.

 

[Bryank75]

Glad I never got into those energy drinks.... always found them horrible.

Tea is my go to, or in a pinch I’ll get a Celsius brand energy drink once in a blue moon. But mainly stick with tea or sometimes kombucha.

 

[OverHeat]

What a bunch of crap…

 

[22:22:22]

No thread about cafeïne complete without...

I call it The Twilight Zone

 

[Spukc]

People drinks this energy drinks because they perceive it as a healthier Soda drink, in the same time it keep them awake, and its delicious....

what in the fuck?

 

[Ailynn]

I once drank two energy drinks within an hour and it started making a muscle in my arm twitch uncontrollably. I can't even imagine what twelve would have been like.

They def have their uses. 2-3 cans each of Red Bull and Starbucks Double Shot would get me thru the seven-hour overnite drive to see my gf. Never touch the stuff otherwise

 

[mcjmetroid]

Same. I did a night drinking them once and the hangover was worse than anything drink can do to you.

 

[lh032]

what in the fuck?

like G fuel, low sugar but its harmful when you drank too much.

My man. I have only had a sip of Monster and Red Bull (literally didn't finish either can, not even close) but I do like soda quite a bit. Granted I've cut down quite a bit, in the past couple years. I'd say the most helpful thing is just not buying packs/liters of soda, even if it's "on sale" or a good deal. I only ever have soda when going to Costco, since it's free with a hot dog, but even then there have been times I've told the cashier I don't want a cup for fountain drinks.

So long story short it's doable, and I'm not gonna act like I'm perfect as I just had soda yesterday, but I've curbed it substantial. Good luck.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I drink a single energy drink maybe once or twice a week. its enough. I can't imagine drinking more than that.

 

[BootsLoader]

While I don’t consume energy drinks, thats a weird post for gaf right there.

 

[Hezekiah]

I went to a PlayStation event many years ago, and they were handing out free Red Bull like it was air. It was insane to see just how many cans people were knocking back.

Young people clearly getting smarter.

I can't believe I used to drink Red Bull and vodka in my uni days. Absolute crap.

 

[Star-Lord]

I wish that were the case, but the majority of people looked between 25-30. Sweaty, overweight people knocking back high-caffeine energy drinks? Good on them.

 

[Paasei]

I always call those drinks:"Chernobyl in a can".

The most disgusting drink in existence and somehow remains to stay popular.

 

[Fart Knight]

I've had maybe two energy drinks in my entire life

 

[Hosam6xavi]

Water FTW

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

That is a lot of fucking caffeine. I would think a fatal amount, tbh.

 

[Fox Mulder]

what in the fuck?

stuff like Bang and Gfuel say zero sugar.

 

[Hezekiah]

Haha I actually misread your post as people were turning down (knocking back) the offer of free caffeine drinks. Comprehension fail.

 

[M.W.]

Rookie. Take twelve servings of a pre-work out in ten minutes then we'll talk.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Why not just do coke?

Cost Less than the energy drinks.

This person is irresponsible with money

 

[BigBooper]

Just one makes me feel crazy.

 

[Old Retro]

Maybe he was just trying to max out his cargo weight limit?

 

[Karak]

I haven't had 12 in 1 hour but lol...I have had a ton in a day many times. I guess I have a super pancreas

 

[Kazzz1896]

They use artificial sweetener that is arguably worse for you! Also Coffee can be drank without any of those syrups!

 

[ViolentP]

I asked why this site allows bullshit clickbait titles for its threads. Then...

I love the taste of energy drink. Mojito energy drinks are god-like

 

[Northeastmonk]

I use to grab a Monster after picking up a game at GameStop at midnight during the 360/PS3 gen. Then whenever CoD came out I’d grab a can or two and “join in on the fun”. I remember when Call of Duty Ghosts came out and I had two cans of Monster next to me while playing.

I haven’t had an energy drink in 3 years. I did grab a sugar free Monster while working my last job because I got bored at work. Plus the Company Kitchen was right downstairs. I won’t touch the stuff now. I stick to water and coffee. I’ll drink anywhere from 32 to 64 Oz of water every day. I don’t like to drink my daily intake of calories. I would rather get calories from food.

Gamers, amirite?

A gamer recently injected 10 needles of gamer heroine in 10 minutes. You'll be SHOCKED at the result.

Marvel this you? Gotta get those warzone advantages any way any how.
