How is it even possible to consume eight energy drinks a day? That's between 1.2 and 1.6 grams of caffeine. Two Monsters is enough to get me sufficiently jittery. If you're at that point, then a stroke is probably far from the worst of your problems.
People with ADHD arnt effected by caffeine like regular folk. Ive drank 4 in a day and it wasnt the caffeine that stopped me from drinking a 5th but the carbonation and acids tearing up my stomach. Like, I can drink 3 at work and come home and take a 2 hour nap before my wife gets home from work.
I remember drinking 3 in a single night in uni to finish a project. I was running everywhere like hamster. Then at around 9 AM the effects wore off and I passed out during a class almost instantly
Caffeine doesn’t affect me much and i like the taste of redbull so i could see crushing 8 cans in one afternoon. That’s only 2 liters of liquid so not really all that much.
You mean consuming a ton of sugar (or substitutes) and a bunch of random thrown together stimulants is bad for your heart and may promote strokes? I am shocked.
Otherwise healthy man in his fifties dies after chainsmoking 4 packets a day headline.
I drink one of these and I’m already conscious of the fact that I’m pouring garbage in my body. There was a time when I was having an average of one a day, but even then it was to push through a job and I knew it was bad in the long run.
But 8?! As a habit?! Holy crap! I can’t even imagine how horrible it would feel trying to do that.
This guy sounds like he has sleep apnea if he needs that many a day. Before I got a CPAP in my 30s I was a 2-3 can a day person with a nap when I got home. Naw I have used it for over 10 years I only have half a pot of coffee in the morning and no naps.
