I'm there with ya man. Are your teeth sensitive now? Once my two front teeth seemed to be bothered I let it go. It's been 3 months and I have had one large red bull. I do now drink coffee a few times a week though.
Same thing with the tolerance. Didn't do anything anymore, it really was an addiction. Then I would drink three big ones and end up with a terrible headache. Good luck, the thing to do is just stop. Easier said than done. |

I drink about 1.5 to 2.5 a day. I usually drink the sugar free kind, at least that may be helpful on your teeth. I kind of like them, I know I should stop, but they help me throughout the day and to do what I do I need to be alert and not fatigued.
I would say to try gum, when I quit I did get a headache for about a 2-3 days and then it quit. It's not a real chemical dependency like drugs and or even nicotine but it is an addiction. Gum has helped me quit for a few weeks, but then I go back again. Maybe even just try drinking something in place of it, like a diet soda, to ramp down. Then move to green tea, and finally maybe a glass of water. I think you are used to the constant having something in your hand, something sweet to drink at different points of the day as well.

I work overnights on weekends. If it wasn't for energy drinks, I don't know how I would physically get through the week.

Go work out. That'll give you the boost you're looking for.
If you don't have time for that, maybe try a 5 hour energy or something? Still not good for you, but very little sugar and caffeine. |

There's suppose to be be more caffeine in a Starbuck's Pike's Peak than an energy drink. Or so I hear. But there's other stuff in those drinks too.
See a naturopath doctor or nutritionist-orientated chiro/internal medicine practictioner to help you. If you have any nutritional deficiencies it can create cravings for things like that and/or the drinks destroy certain nutritients making you want more setting up a vicious cycle. But you're going to have to learn some behavior control too. |

I had one of those drinks once for a long trade show...good energy for awhile but it sets you up for a crash later—requiring more.
Learn to eat right for maximum energy like protein every so many hours. That keeps your energy up too. Maybe it's your diet too. |

The thing is, I LOVE the taste of them. They probably aren't that good, but my brain has been wired to like them for over a decade, since I was a kid.
