Energy drinks - Anyone here addicted to them
« on: March 23, 2017, 10:38:34 AM »
I'm starting to waste too much money on this bad habit - I buy the sugarless rockstar or monster now several times a day. My urine looks like it came from a nuclear power plant.

I don't even drink them for energy, I don't know, it's what it is to someone who smokes.

I let up on the "clean diet" cause you guys are a bad influence  ;D

It's a stupid, expensive habit.

Same here, I just stopped 3 weeks ago.  Drank 2 a day for about a year.  

What makes them so addicting?

Caffeine

Has to be something in it, working with the caffeine.  I've talked to other people that drink monsters and they say the same thing. Not the same as redbull or coffee.

Yeah. Had an arterial fibrillation due to alcohol. They gave me a cardiorevision. The joke is I had a night out with a group of guys doing coke all night long, I've never done it in my life and I'm the one having to go to hospital. Didn't even drink loads.

So since that I've not had a drop, cut out energy drinks and cleaned up my diet. It was a bit of a wake-up.

Cheers. It's kinda funny, had nothing worse than the flu my whole adult life. Needed surgery in Nov, nearly died from sepsis after that. Then this. It's been a rough few months.

On the bright side I'm far more conscious of the shit I eat or drink and am getting in better shape.

33. No heart issues, always been pretty fit and healthy. Never ever had a high BP reading. No history of heart issues in the family either (MODS: please delete this post if I die from steroid related issues so people can claim it was hereditary).

It was just shit pot luck I guess. The doctors had no concerns over my health afterwards.

Not good - that sucks at any age let alone at such a young age.

The good news is they gave you the all clear & have no other Heath concerns for you.

Stay well.

1 or 2 white monsters a day. It does become a habit.

I worked out I was spending  £130 a month of those drinks. A total waste.

But they do taste fucking lovely.
