They are a soda with flavors, caffeine, and vitamins in.

There's no such thing as an "Energy Drink" being different from flavored soda water, like a Pear is different than an Apple.

The idea that "Energy Drink" is different from other drinks is something retarded women/mothers come up with.

"Ohhh...those energy drinks....I don't know", as mom drinks a pot of coffee and then later a jug of wine on top of her meds.

Super easy to drink too much
The sugar affects you more than how much sane men add to coffee
they also associate you exclusively with degens

Do you think anything at Starbucks has less sugar than an energy drink?

Chemicals -- they're all listed on the can and they're mostly amino acids and BCAAs and creatine, which you won't find in coffee, by the way.

I'm currently enjoying a Bang with 0g sugar...

Chemicals: Again, this is something someone's retarded mother says. The chemicals are types of vitamins and sports supplements for cramps and so on.

I can't stand when a bunch of "men" sit around and make a drama about a f@cking soft drink. That's the height of ****gitry.

Pure black coffee is solid, I did it for a while. It fcked my teeth a bit though, and is still far less enjoyable and more work than an energy drink.

You're taking in a lot of caffeine though buddy boy.

I love the taste of energy drinks; but I’m not going to pretend that stacking a bunch of caffeine, taurine and sugar is good for you

Why is it bad for you?

Why is taurine bad for you?

It's excellent for reducing muscle cramps....I mean excellent...at 5 grams. Energy drinks contain way smaller amounts.

Why the hell would you drop coffee for energy drinks?

Coffee is one of the most delicious things on this earth. Most energy drinks are meh at best.

Coffee flavor is the burnt sugars in the roasted beans.

Unless it has a LOT of sugar and cream is tastes like burnt toast. That's because you are tasting the burnt beans.

Also, it's tremendously bitter and acrid so it makes you thirsty and you need a drink after drinking it.

Do you like decaf?

If you don't it means you don't like coffee just the drug part.

I drink decaf sometimes. I love black coffee, cause its a comfort thing and drinking it is a ritual of sorts

A energy drink is just another drink, you can't even compare the two from a drinking perspective

But not everyone likes coffee so I can respect that

I own an aero press and make a lot of coffee now versus getting it from cafes, and in doing so you kinda learn the science/art behind it.

Bitter coffee = water temperature too hot when brewing. That was one of the first lessons I learnt and probably the biggest game changer in regards to making non-bitter coffee.

And yes I like decaf. I really love a post dinner coffee but was finding I couldn’t get to sleep in the evenings, so I switched to decaf. I have caffeinated coffee in the morning though.

The bitterness comment is interesting.

I have had coffee that tastes good like a coffee candy or ice cream and I wondered why it's not bitter. Meanwhile, I've had some that tasted like burnt bread and is disgusting.

There used to be a coffee show on TV and the host explained how roasting affects the burnt flavor.

It's an interesting topic and I must say I have less good cups of coffee than bad.

There's an Italian cafe in Philly and their coffee is unlike anything I have had before. It's the best coffee flavor every time.

Reporting synopsis from yesterday:

Enjoyed 1/2 Bang in the AM (no breakfast crew)
Had a killer back workout
Insane vascularity
Repping weight I never even touched before

Had sex afterwards for ~2 hours without getting tired - came inside twice, she came multiple
She comments on my increased vascularity
We get groceries and I pick up some new monster flavors on sale

We got dinner at ~7:30pm, and I still felt like I could have waited longer to break my fast

Now I'm enjoying a Monster and catching up on some stuff.

I got these bad boys at Arco yesterday and I wanted to keep Cals low, but I'll definitely look out for those next time.

Sipping on the yellow rehab in a zoom rn and it is very refreshing.

I think it's good to switch things up. Coffee has other compounds in it (like theobromine) that increase wakefulness too but exacerbate jittery feelings people get from caffeine alone. So it can depend on what you're doing that day. If you have to give a presentation, are on the phone constantly, or are going for a job interview, then an energy drink or caffeine pill is probably a better choice than coffee. If you have to do a lot of reading, do spreadsheets, listening to others, lots of email or your job isn't majority talking then coffee may be the better choice.

Maybe it's just my imagination but when I drink espresso instead of coffee I feel just as awake, but less anxiousness or jittery feeling. If let's say regular coffee has a 1:1 ratio of caffeine to the other compounds in it that cause anxiousness and jittery feeling I'd bet espresso has more like a 3:1 ratio of caffeine to the other compounds. So espresso is like getting the medicine without as much side effects.

I took a long break from drinking coffee and then realized how disgusting it is when I tried to drink it again.

Energy drinks are good but you have to watch out for two things:
1. Your wallet
2. Your teeth

Mitigate 1 by buying in bulk or buy off brand drinks from bargain stores. Or crush a caffeine pill in a mountain dew

Mitigate 2 by drinking through a straw if possible so it doesn’t touch your teeth. It’s very acidic and will decay your teeth. Avoid eating after drinking one and rinse your mouth with some toothpaste and water to get the ph back up after drinking one. Or just use a straw

Sipping on the yellow rehab in a zoom rn and it is very refreshing.
I have to try it.

These are called Monster Reserve and I can't find them anywhere.

There's a gold can Pineapple but this is a different line of drinks and I assume a more intense flavor.

I am on a quest to find them.

yup, even doing k pods, you need to use a mug and then wash the mug later. Also disposing those k cups makes a mess on the counter with little bits of coffee ground going everywhere.

Energy drinks you just take out the fridge and drink ez mode no mess or washing mug.
