When I was 16-17, my friend would drive me home from school and we'd stop at the liquor store and I had 2 drinks a day for 6 months straight.

At some point it started reacting poorly with my body and I'd have stomach pains and shit my brains out within a couple hours. Put 2 and 2 together, stopped drinking them. Couldn't touch them for a few years.

I drink 2-3 a week nowadays. I'm 26. No issues anymore.

"Started" implies that I drink them regularly, which I don't, but I had my first at 16 I think. I've only ever bought them maybe twice since then. I don't really like them and I never feel the need for any additional energy, I get by with energy from food just fine. I drink a lot of coffee and tea but just for the taste.

I rarely drink them because caffeine makes me crash. I used to drink soda pretty much exclusively, no water as a teen because I had to study for shit and there simply weren't enough hours in the day. But I stopped drinking soda when I turned 20, after I dropped out of college because I was failing all my classes despite trying my hardest, went to water, now when I drink caffeine it just makes me tired as fuck, at worst, and at best does literally nothing.

Are you counting any caffeinated sugar water as energy drinks or what? The energy drink craze didn't start until Red Bull started aggressively marketing themselves in the mid-2000's, and even then it was just those little cans and not the Monster/whatever copy cat sip #3523532 that the zoomers all drink these days.

>> No.11696993

Not any but considering it’s mostly a marketing term that’s not a far off description. I would put josta, Mountain Dew amp, surge, jolt, bawls etc under the same umbrella as monster.

>The energy drink craze didn't start until Red Bull started aggressively marketing themselves in the mid-2000's

Energy drinks marketed as such certainly weren't a thing until Red Bull took off, but they certainly existed before then. When I was in college in the late 90's I remember buying Indonesian Red Bull from the Azn market because it was half the price of the Western product, so Red Bull was certainly a thing then. Then you had extra-caffeinated sodas like Jolt, as well as more novelty-oriented drinks like Bawls and the "Skeleteens" line of sodas which were infamous for their high caffeine content.

Anyway, to answer OP's question, I drank them occasionally if I had a ton of homework I had to stay up for, but it was a rare thing. I saw a lot of friends drink them like mad (yet never seemed to actually have any energy) so I thought that was a rabbit hole best not to go down. ...not to mention how ludicrously expensive they are. Just take a caffeine tablet if you need your fix.

The first energy drink I tried was Red Bull when it came out in the US. Later on I had a purple Monster at a friend’s sleepover, but that night I felt really sick so I stopped trying them for a while.

When I started working outside during the summer I would occasionally buy a Monster Mean Bean and drink it through the day. But one time when I did an overnight at my main job I drank a Monster and some coffee another guy there roasted/brewed, and having both messed me up. Because of where we were there wasn’t much access to food or water, so I became dehydrated and started shitting my brains out. I was dizzy with heart palpitations and my coworker had to drive me home while I chugged water and Gatorade. Haven’t had an energy drink since.
