Monster, RedBull, Rockstar, etc these things are pure evil. I honestly attribute a lot of my own medical maladies to a few years where I was sucking them down once a day. And I've experienced a lot of the symptoms in his article too. I'm no doctor but a detox from the energy drinks is a logical first step
- mleonhard 16y agoIf you're having trouble sleeping, definitely stop consuming caffeine and similar drugs. Daily coffee consumption causes a mental fog for me.
- SkyMarshal 16y agoCompletely agree. Back in the mid 2000s I was drinking two Redbulls a day for several months to keep up the pace, when one particularly stressful day my heart literally skipped a beat. I could feel it in my chest just stop when it should have beat, then pick up beating again on the next one. Scared the hell out of me, and I just knew it was the phenylalanine in Redbull. Quit cold turkey that day and haven't drunk a sip since. I get my caffeine from green tea now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull#Cardiovascular_effects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull#Cardiovascular_effects
- patrickk 16y agoI almost never drink high-caffeine drinks. Pretty much all I've been drinking for the last few months is green tea, milk and water. I don't drink much alcohol either. The only time I've drank Red Bull is the lead up to college finals when I absolutely needed an instant jolt - i justified this by telling myself that it was for the long-term good (good results down the line), not as a short-term crutch. I'm not so naive to think that those energy drinks are anything but really, really bad for you.
