Replacing my morning coffee with energy drinks

brb less calories
brb taste better
brb less preparation
brb more mobile (can grab one and toss it in my bag in the am)
brb can actually regulate caffeine consumption as opposed to coffee where you don't even know how much you're getting
brb feel better, insane vascularity, better mindstate etc
brb less sugar than coffee with creamers/additives
brb a can of monster is more refreshing and has less caffeine than a cup of coffee

People say energy drinks are unhealthy as a blanket statement, and frankly, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Energy drinks (monster/bang, etc) are fortified with a lot of vitamins, taurine, etc that you won't find in coffee. Obviously, if you're pounding 3 monsters a day it's going to be bad, but don't go full retard and you'll be okay. Also, with higher caffeinated beverages like Bang (300 mg), you can drink a half or a third throughout a few hours to regulate caffeine consumption better.

Just lol at listening to fat, stupid, and lazy NPCs and avoiding energy drinks because they have too much caffeine, sugar, and whatever unfounded bs you hear on the news.

imagine being so insecure about wanting to quit coffee and move to energy drinks that you need to post something like this in search of validation.

I have racing thoughts so writing them out helps me keep them in order.

Also want to encourage people to think for themselves and maybe see if other people think the same way.

0 calorie options and my current blue monster only has 30 cals, since I prefer it much more than the white one. Bangs have 0 calories too, but I'll only use those if I go out at night and have work to do next am.

Drink black coffee problem solved
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I drink black coffee every day (at least 8-10 cups) my teeth are just fine even though my habit is excessive. Have been doing this for almost a decade now.

It doesn’t stain your teeth nearly as bad as people say it does. Mine aren’t great, but they’re not as awful as people allege. Doubt the average 1-2 cup/day person has anything to worry about if they’re brushing their teeth regularly.

I can make ~30 pots of coffee for about $8. There is no way you are approaching that level of economy drinking energy drinks. Do you just like wasting money?

Fair argument, that's why I didn't mention price as a reason in the OP.

However, there are lots of deals on energy drinks because the media has brainwashed people into thinking they are automatically bad. Coffee also takes much more effort to make, and if you streamline it with k pods, keurigs, etc (as most people do), then the cost difference isn't really significant.

I also don't waste money on Starbucks, go out drinking regularly, or eat out often so I can eat the cost.

Apples to oranges comparison. A caffeine pill doesn't feel nearly the same as sipping on a nice beverage.

I agree.

Coffee is bad for your teeth and stomach due to the acid, as well.

Why not both? I hit a 5 hour energy every time I wake up followed by 6-8 Diet Dr. Peppers through the day, a couple large cups of coffee, and pre workout before the gym.

There isn't a logical reason why it's more unhealthy or any compelling studies besides saying energy drinks = bad.

Hell, a quick gander at the studies and you'll realize a lot of them are straight garbage by authors who are desperate to publish anything at all -- like 99% of research, unfortunately.
