Help me break my energy drink addiction

Honestly, the more water you drink in a day; the more anything sugary/sweet tastes awful to you. Force yourself to get a gallon of water down a day and it may help your taste buds get back to normal.

That might help eliminate one aspect of your craving/addiction.

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

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.

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.
