Are you a fan of energy drinks?

[TheMajesticKing777]

No specific brand, just energy drinks in general

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Yeah, I like some of the flavors. Caffeine helps me because I have ADHD and thank God caffeine doesn’t make me sleepy like it does for other ADHD folks lol.


They aren’t good for me at all, but they’re a nice alternative to other caffeinated drinks like coffee, teas, 5 hour energy, or stimulant medications lol.

[TheMajesticKing777]

How does caffeine help, doesn't it make it worse?

[Kaneki05]

@themajesticking777 caffeine indeed helps people with ADHD it does not make them worse it often helps them sleep or make them more focused.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Okay

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Yup, he’s correct. It affects people differently. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant and boosts the dopamine levels in our brains (improves cognitive functions like focusing, attention, motivation, etc), and ADHD people have lower dopamine levels in the brain (causing inattentiveness, lack of motivation, distractibility, etc). So sometimes dopamine increase from caffeine is very helpful to ADHD people. Sometimes caffeine can have a different affect on those with ADHD, it might not even change anything in them but make them crash (be tired) after the caffeine is fully metabolized. 😌

Love them. And I always try my best to make people realise they're not things made of nightmares that will just kill you, not unless your an idiot who drinks many in a row within a short time anyway. Would be like doing the same with coffee not a bright idea don't make coffee bad though.
I also find it funny when someone tries to call you addicted to them but meanwhile they are drinking there 2nd can of Pepsi and you can bet that won't be their last and you can be they will have some tomorrow aswell.

No, this stuff is probably the worst thing you can drink. Do yourself a favor and have a good IPA.

Dogfish Head IPA

[TheMajesticKing777]

I barely drink energy drinks anymore but whatever that is, it does look refreshing

[exitseven]

Energy drinks are toxic. I work at a college and I watch kids buying this crap out of the machines for two bucks a throw. It looks like they are addicted to it.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Yea the caffeine can form a habit

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[sage2021]

Nope! I would be too afraid that it would speed up my heart too much, or have me bouncing off the walls.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Fair enough

[Bratsondanielle]

No. I'm not, on the contrary. People get addicted to the crap. Empty calories too

[TheMajesticKing777]

Yea it can create a habit

[Bratsondanielle]

I know people who seriously can't live without

[Marianna546]

Yeah me too

[TheMajesticKing777]

It doesn't create an addiction, addictions are way worse but it will for sure create a habit, I have experienced both and one is harder to get rid of than the other

[Blackcosmo]

I don't drink energy drinks and i'm okay with gatorade but I would love to try a carbonated energy drink.

[Sparkie460]

The carbonated energy drinks are really nasty. Don't waste your money

[Blackcosmo]

@Sparkie460 Oh thanks for telling me

[Brandi555]

No because I get super talkative and start to annoy everyone. Lol 🤐

[TheMajesticKing777]

Lmao that makes sense

[Sparkie460]

The only energy drink I drink is coffee. I have 30 Oz in the morning then I get a 20 Oz on my way home from work. If it's really hot outside I'll get an iced coffee.

[jahaims]

I take supplements and pure caffeine so I get all of the good without the bad.

[Wraven]

Yep, can't get through the day without a couple cans of Monster Rehab Peach Tea.

[NathanDavis]

not at all, nope...

[Kingofkings1992]

No they aren’t good for you

[Anonymous]

No, I am not.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Fair enough

[JoyGirl]

No….

[Marianna546]

I dislike kt

[Marianna546]

Dislike it**

[CubaPirate]

Not particularly
