Negative and mixed experiences
“Energy drinks make me feel sick sometimes, even yhe sugar free ones, especially when on 0 hrs sleep.”
“A red bull is 25 grams of sugar, which still is far too high, but I feel like if it's a once in a while thing it won't hurt too much.”
“1/3 of a can of Celsius (caffeine). Whether or not I go with one of these energy boosters, I can do stuff but my brain is still space cadet-y.”
“I had been unknowingly medicating myself with the taurine in red bull for over a decade. I finally was able to give up my redbull I drank each and every day because I was sick of being dependent on caffeine.”
“Two monsters per day aren't going to be your downfall if your other lifestyle behaviors are in check...Too much caffeine isn't good you. For me it sends my blood pressure soaring”
