Seriously, I spend half my time embracing my addiction to caffeinated sodas, coffees, and teas, and the other half trying to avoid them. Stay away from them.

"Energy" Drinks
Have you ever noticed that the people downing all those "energy" drinks, always need to drink more of them? I see students line their lockers with these drinks and their labels, as if they are somehow bad-ass for consuming them...
Folks, "energy" drinks are poison. "ENERGY" DRINKS ARE STRESS IN A CAN.
Seriously, I spend half my time embracing my addiction to caffeinated sodas, coffees, and teas, and the other half trying to avoid them. Stay away from them.

Energy drinks I could do without.. But there this pre workout ritual where I must absolutely drink thick black coffee before I train..
well actually it never ends ever since the first time i did it ..
My motto is the body gets tired for a reason and not to tip toe around it.
You just end up feeling worse.
I know a guy who is in methadone treatment to overcome an addiction to opiates caused by doctors' prescriptions for pain. He drinks these things and eats a lot of sugary foods.
He's a very nice guy, and I wish he wasn't tormented like this. Nothing about him suggests that he cares one bit about any of these drugs, but he's in their throes nonetheless.
Dasic,
I gave up caffeine as pre-training thing a long while back. Don't miss it much. Once in a while, I'll try it and I can understand why people like it.
Niel,
Agreed.
Aaron,
I can't believe that energy drinks are helping his cause, but I wish him well. That's a bad place to be in.
With these things you take garbage in and you'll put garbage back out in your training.
Boris,
I've conducted research on Energy Drinks (Monster actually) in a university lab and I am currently writing up the results for publication.
What questions do you have about them that I can help with?

Mike,
I have no questions whatsoever. I have opinions and I doubt research or literature reviews will do much to change them.
