For me it's Coke, Flaming hot cheetohs, synders pretzel bites and anything... like... microwavable pizza esque. Like hot pockets, bagel bites, pizza rolls etc

    Maybe I'm in denial, but depending on how many you drink it's probably fine?

    One energy drink has around the same caffeine as a cup of coffee. One time I did drink so much knock-off redbull that my pee was fluorescent (It's never been that colour before or since), but other than that it's probably fine.

      I do mostly do Monster, which has less than some of the more extreme brands like Bang. Maybe I am being a little too crunchy, but coffee feels "natural", but I hate the taste of it, whereas energy drinks are this very synthetic thing that I love.

        try something else like yerba mate?

        or get into different kinds of coffee, light roasts with more of a berry aftertaste vs the dark or even burnt crap

        But yeah its not gonna totally sub in for energy drinks because of the B vitamins and shit. Those can really make a difference for some people. One of my friends gets full on manic when they have anything with B vitamins, even with low or no caffeine
