Wow, that's too bad you had anything like that as a kid. Kid's shouldn't even have the caffeine in coffee. You may just need a supervised de-tox program.

I gave that exact advice to someone else on here one time

Switch to meth.

LMAO This is not the place to be telling me that. Money isn't the issue, but it'd be nice to keep that extra $1,000 in my pocket each year.

I think this is very true. I'm 30 now, and I used to not drink energy drinks at all. No soda, no energy drinks. Its just a habit I've picked up in the last 4 years. And back before then, I was in really really goods shape. I ate well, and drank tons of water. I'd carry around a liter of water everywhere I go and just drank out of it. And I hated the taste of sweets and soda. Now I love it :(

He will spend quite a bit more money per year on that program

It started when my dad would let me pick out whatever I wanted at Quik Trip in the mornings before he went to work. I fell in love with Monster. Didn't even care about food.

We both need to quit then. Or at least slow down in your case. I need to just flat out quit. I'm sick of it.

Add a little more and more Antifreeze.

Sorry if repost.

I'd still like the taste of it. Maybe not the aftermath.

Hey man, you want $100? Cause quitting will net you about $100 a month.

Think what you could do with that money.

Yup.

Yeah, I slipped into a funk this winter where I drank more soda/sweet drinks than I have in quite a while. It's an easy way to pack on pounds.

Really, if you stick mostly to water, you'll feel a whole lot better in general.

I drink coffee occasionally. It's your best bet if you're looking for quick caffeine. I wouldn't say I love the taste of coffee in general, but it's alright. I try to stick with water, tea and coffee if I can help it.

Fatigue? See a naturopathic doctor or wellness clinic with both those and regular doctors to build your body back up naturally. You sound like you have deficiencies. Drugs, caffeine, alcohol use up B vitamins which are your energy vitamins. They are hard to find in the American diet of white processed foods today. Allergies to food can cause fatigue too. The symptoms are not just sinus related.

Someone here mentioned water, that will help de-tox you by washing out any toxins in your cells. Besides that caffeine dehydrates you. 80% of the people do not drink enough water. Go for 70 ozs a day. I'd buy bottled Volvic for at least a month for the natural trace minerals. It's not cheap but it's really good water. Then switch back to your regular water.

I realize, I am giving you a recommendation that is a lifestyle change that is not easy or even popular. But it works long term. Helps if you have someone assisting you.

Switch to coffee instead.
