I Don't Drink Energy Drinks

I think almost every single one of them are disgusting. There was a time where my ex used to drink 2-3 cans of NOS a day, every day to keep him moving at work. 😳 I use to practically beg him to stop drinking it, even after we separated but kept in touch. He often said he felt like he was having a heart attack and his heart would feel like it’s beating out of his chest, lightheaded, etc. I’d tell myself things like, “at least it’s not alcohol,” but... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah it's crazy to me that caffeine abuse is so socially acceptable. Like it has its uses, but functionally it's like a bad coping mechanism for your physical health. In the moment it makes you feel better, but abuse can have lasting effects.

@Holdontothefire one of my employees was giving me shit one day about drinking a can of monster every morning telling me that my energybdrinknwas bad for me. Meanwhile he would drink 2 pots of coffee with cream and sugar before noon smh.

@Complexconfessions exactly! While you might be able to find healthier alternatives, the abuse of caffeine itself has been normalized and that's where the damage really is. That's why people who have pre-existing conditions have died and why so many others have developed conditions...
