You have to remember that some incidents of people dying from excess amounts of caffeine is the people who drink like 12 packs in one sitting. Some do take on the caffeine fix but maybe three spread out the day and only if that person may be doing a hefty project that day.

[@brentlloyd7908]

You do realize that the manufacturers of these "energy" drinks specify no more than 1 per day, and that was just to cover their asses in court. 200 mg of caffeine in 4 hours can kill you.

[@jonnuanez7183]

I had half of a C4 energy drink the other night and felt really strange. I've had them before, but this one "hit" differently. That's another thing about these drinks: depending on your activity level and (key point) how much you've eaten if any (which I hadn't much when I drank it), they can cause different reactions at different times. You may be able to handle a drink, but there's that one time when you can't and it may not be good. (For the record, I do drink Java Monsters on occasion).

[@supersanic1254]

Never had issues with C4. They are great!

[@georgecostanza3343]

It hit differently, likely because of its Beta-Alanine content. A great pre workout supplement, but can cause a tingling sensation in the face, anxiety, and stomach upset when consumed in large quantities. C4 is better before strenuous activity, rather than as a standard energy drink.

[@art.of.verser]

Can't go near energy drinks (except the energy seltzer, which I don't drink as often but better than those with the added sugar in the mix). I can only go as far as cold brew coffee in the morning. Just making cold brew at home has become pretty convenient, not to mention contains lower acid compared to its hot counterpart.

[@JeremyWray86]

I used to drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day. Switched to Bang and Reign to lose the sugar, calories, etc. I drink one every morning to get my caffeine fix and get me going and for the rest of the day I drink 1/2-1 gallon of water. I lost about 45 lbs and have no health issues, also likely saving myself from diabetes which runs strong in my family.

[@supersanic1254]

Drank it at around 9am, was so jumpy the whole day and still couldn't sleep that night, tasted nice though, but I've pretty much avoided high energy drinks ever since.

I never had a sip of any energy drinks apart from the one Coca-Cola made years ago, but only once of each of their flavors. If I wanted to drink a soda, I would usually go for the "Zero Sugar" option even though I know they aren't really free from sugar. When it comes to standard sodas, I want to get the ones in the cans because the bottled ones contain nearly twice as much sugar. For example, I remember the can of standard Coca-Cola contains 39g of sugar, but the bottled 20oz you see at the convenience store contains nearly twice that amount, so I avoid those.

[@supersanic1254]

The zero sugar options really are free from sugar.

[@angelasieg5099]

My husband drinks at least a case of 24 cans of Mt. Dew a week. Plus several 20oz bottles daily. I have a Dew when I have a headache. Caffeine helps without any other meds. If I catch it early enough, before it becomes a full blown migraine I can sometimes avoid it by having a Dew. Tastes like drinking syrup though.

[@duaynecollins9994]

[@bobboy5508]

There’s something not mentioned here about 5 hour energy and reign. The caffeine is not straight up caffeine. It’s known to have 300mg of total caffeine. There’s a difference in straightforward caffeine and total. The vitamins the other stuff that goes in is metabolized caffeine. So in 5 hour energy there’s a reason they claim up to 5 hours of energy. You keep getting caffeine through metabolizable ingredients. So it to not a straight rush of 300mg or what’s in 5 hour energy. It’s over an hour or 2 for reign and 5 hours. Now rockstar and Monster are listed as just caffeine, not total. And both are very sugary.

When I was younger Monster wasn’t really well known so they kept trying to push it and always had really good deals. You could get a 24 pack at Costco for 20 bucks. One time in high school on Christmas break me and my cousin decided to buy one of those packs and just see how many we could drink in one day. I think I made it to 6 of the regular cans and we also bought one BFC can each which was the biggest can you could buy at the time. I will never forget how I felt after all those cans. I was walking around like a zombie. I had all my family asking me if I was ok and the last thing I remember is telling everyone I was going to bed and waking up two days later. Never again 😂

I need the caffeine to help smooth out my mental health issues. However, I do what I can to keep it under 400 mg/day. I drink the sugar-free alternative due to diabetic issues, and I'm aware that too much sucralose can affect insulin levels, but I drink them in moderation. Also, I balance that with equal amounts of water during the work day. Are the above drinks bad for your health? Yeah, especially when you drink a [UH-OH] load of them. Moderation is the key, gang.

[@brandonpage7087]

That's the smart way to do it. You don't necessarily have to stay away from all soda & energy drinks, when you can just drink them in moderation, & consume plenty of water.

In the 20 years I have consumed probably over one thousand cans of Red Bull(not just 8oz, but 12oz, 16oz, and even 20oz cans) and many other brands of energy drinks there are, it is a huge miracle that I have not already succumb to Type 2 Diabetes, lost my Appendix, or are just Dead. My last can of Red Bull was on the last day of November, 2023, thus marking 20 years later since drinking my first Red Bull. Just one more thing I will work on not consuming anymore on a daily or even a weekly to monthly basis. On a side note, and this maybe a bit of "Fridge Horror" and maybe "Nightmare Fuel", I once drank 6 12oz cans of Red Bull in a single day when preparing for a Final Test for the last Math Class I needed to pass for my "Bachelors Degree" in "Graphic Design". Even though I passed this test and later graduated, I did not get to sleep until probably 2 to 3am in the morning the next day and slept till about 10 to 11am. Good thing it was the weekend and one of my days off from Work. But hey, lesson learned.
