I used to be huge on energy drinks.  I remember the day that made me realize I was drinking them to much was after not being able to have any for a couple days, and I had a ridiculously huge caffeine headache all day at work.  Rarely even have them anymore, but when I did I drank mostly Monster and Venom.

If by 'the shit' you mean 'tasted like shit', then yes!

Sorry, I really don't understand the new worldwide addiction to energy drinks. And I'm someone who gets tired very often and could definitely use a boost, especially when I have to drag my ass out of bed to work early in the morning. ('Before lunchtime' counts as 'early' to me.) I've tasted Red Bull and Rockstar but never drunk a whole one on my own. I used to occasionally drink Mountain Dew on my lunch/dinner breaks when I was working over the holidays at the store until 2am, but I don't like how that tastes either and it made me shaky and it just wasn't worth the trouble and terrible taste to stay awake. I just recite things in my head to keep me awake.

Boything used to have a bit of a caffeine addiction and would get headachy, cranky, and sick if he went more than a day or two without any, but he isn't anywhere near that bad anymore since he's made himself stop. Mostly because we can't afford to keep his addiction fed, considering he could go through an entire case of soda in two days. Before we were together, he used to have two energy drinks and a fuckton of soda a day.

I just don't get it. But that might be me.

This is how my boyfriend is exactly! I'm not mad at him or anything, I just think it's silly how people get so defensive about energy drinks. Whenever I tell him that he wouldn't need them to feel awake if he weaned himself off, he just whines about how he needs them. He doesn't get it...
Also he wants to lose some weight, and he asks me for honest advice for it(I'm a bit of a health freak. I don't nag him, I just give him advice when he asks). Well whenever I point out how much sugar he gets from drinking 2 monsters a day he wont believe it. It's ridiculous...
BITCHES! YOU BITCHES! Killing me won't bring back your God damn honey!

Have you tried a visual? Depending on the size of it, there could be anywhere from a third to a half a cup of sugar in a single Monster drink, plus whatever soda. Try measuring it out and putting it on a table in front of him. Maybe if he actually sees what he takes in a day it'll sink in.

Then again, he might well know the sugar content, and just not give a damn, like me.

My parents just called to yell at me because I brought a 1.5-inch Swiss Army knife to school. It's a can opener, bottle opener, toothpick, and tweezers. It's a freaking tool.

I took my swiss army knife to school for JROTC so...

Actually I liked Jolt Cola, and I'm not even a big fan of energy drinks, I just really like any kind of cola. Though as Jeb says, coffee is where it's at. Also Mountain Dew makes me gag.

Me too. I'm glad though, since so many people I know are completely dependent on it.

I dunno how people can become so dependent on it...I mean, I've had a fairly steady caffeine intake since elementary school, but I've never been dependent on it, ever.  I've gone weeks, sometimes months, without, and never suffered any ill effects, other than the odd "Man, I'd love some coffee, right now" moment.

I like some flavors of Vitamin Water but other "energy" sodas are just shit.

For some reason I never seem to taste enough sugar in my tea.
