Drink more water and less of the hyped up **** my dude.

ive been wanting to make a change to the "Bang" kind since it has creatine in it and all my friends from the marine corps drink that one only. plus a few nurses drink the Bang also, plus cops. idk why the bang but i want to switch to yerba mate

A good friend of mine went on a Monster energy binge for over a month and died of congestive heart failure, which was caused in part by consuming 2-3 energy drinks per day during that period. He was in his early 40's.

Too much water is bad too, yes, but realistically that's a lot of water to consume to reach a level of intoxication from it.

that could be simply because a monster energy drink( like the one i am drinking today) has 300mg of caffeine in each can. 3 cans is 900mg

3 cans of the rehab is only 465mg but i agree they arnt great for ya.

maybe ill check out those fancy coffee makers like they have at school that are flavored.

i dont see myself in my 40's drinking enery drinks still... only chronotropic effect will be coffee because its from the earth.

ill learn more when i visit my dad in iowa, he drinks coffee every morning

Cut out caffeine all together, imho. Rely on your own body's natural endorphin machine for energy.

You'll have to reset your body for it, and it's not gonna happen overnight.
