energy drinks: are they truly harmful

[Just Silver]

Please discuss

Id rather drink one of these if I had no drugs

But.. are they just as harmful/bad for you

[Elision]

caffeine in any form is terrible for you. it's the #1 substance addiction in our country. it won't kill you but you'll feel much better without it in your life.

[Just Silver]

But is it worse than say alcohol or opiates

[CanadaPure]

Yeah it's way worse than both of those, I overdosed on caffeine and died three times.

[Elision]

worse than (most) opiates taken as needed, better than alcohol.

[Just Silver]

Damn I didn't know it was that harmful

I've been addicted to coffee for awhile - so in turn caffeine - but I never drink any energy drinks and I only have 2 cups a day.
Is this a bad thing?

[Just Silver]

Idk but according to elision you should just take a percocet instead

[TranSlucEnt]

I fucking hate energy drinks. Never tasted good to me. I am however a coffee addict. Cant go a day without it. As far as too much Caffeine? I've seen that first hand. A couple times recently I've noticed my arms and hands trembling, heart rate was elevated and I was sweating. Probably due to the nicotine too (I was chaining a few and drinking coffee at the same time).

benzo's wouldn't be prescribed if they had a high death rate, the amount of backing that has to go into getting a medicine to the public is ridiculous. you have to try to hurt yourself with pharmaceuticals, the problems only come from taking way more than necessary or mixing the wrong things. meanwhile caffeine is a toxic stimulant and nothing more. it's essentially a poison that your body can handle, which could be said about a lot of the things most of us consume but caffeine is the subject at hand.

[Just Silver]

And this is very weird still to me

So say taking one perc 10 is less harmful than downing a full monster energy

I don't know about you but I'd prefer to take a natural stimulant instead of something manufactured in a factory.

[Just Silver]

But they are both manufactured

This is true.

Having headaches and lack of sleep is not fun.
