What health effects compared to other caffeine sources (pills, coffee)
I haven't really noticed any, or heard much studies that wouldn't apply to similar amounts of coffee at least. Do the other supplemented ingredients add a lot of harm?
- ls612 3mo agoNo it is just a moral panic because college students like to drink vodka Red Bulls, as opposed to drinking Irish coffees or any similar combination of caffeine and alcohol.
- AbsurdCensor 3mo agoYeah, seems like the problem is alcohol + caffeine, and at least in the US, those combinations in a single drink have been banned (ie Four Loko)
- ls612 3mo agoGlad to know you uncritically will sign up for the moral panic of the times.
- AbsurdCensor 3mo agoNah, no moral panic here. I don't see the reason to combine stimulants with depressants, you then just mask the underlying issues with both. Hence often the regulation of the combination.
- ls612 3mo agoSo do you want to outlaw espresso martinis? Or rum and cokes?
- AbsurdCensor 3mo agoSure. Realistically you simply regulate them. Espresso martinis are already long a popular 'after dinner' cocktail with the assumption that you'll be buzzed from the caffeine and able to drive better.
