Yeah, Monster will kill me. That’s why I drink it…
no it won’t it’ll just make you slightly less healthy
Can I PLEASE just get a bubbly drink with caffeine that is unsweetned. The canned coffee is all too expensive and most of that has sugar in it to.
Just give me a sparkling unsweetened tea with extra caffeine. Is that to much to ask?
Not to be that guy, but as someone who quit caffeine entirely, honestly it’s kinda great not needing caffeine. I traded my daily coffee for water and now I just drink shitloads of water and it’s honesty glorious. Waking up and just…going is amazing
Wanted to throw it out there because it seems not many people try to kick caffeine
I actually think Lipton peach ice tea in 2lt packets have no sugar added, giving them a really mild flavor compared to their fruit juice like flavor in canned and 1lt forms
Might be a bit hard for you to buy depending on where you live but YABU energy drink is just straight up carbonated Polish apple juice with caffeine. I drank a few different flavours they have and they are nice.
You can get caffenated water; I’m sure it would carbonate just as well as regular water.
Hiball energy seltzer is pretty good, but they stopped selling it near me.
Hiball is crack
Dunno where you are, but ChariTea has a new sugar free mate. Mate based drinks in general tend to be at least less sweet than that energy drink stuff.
I personally usually just make coffee at home and take it with me, but I recognise that doesn’t work for everyone.
Bawls is just guarana and caffeine iirc.
Ed: hfcs in it now I guess, shame

just fucking buy caffeine at this point.
Exactly. Home carbonated filtered water and anhydrous caffeine. Just make sure you have an accurate scale.
or don’t and go wild ass berserk
Absolutely. You can buy caffeine by the kilo and incidentally it sort of looks like really stepped on coke.
But I’m not kidding about the accurate scale tho. I LOVE caffeine, but the last time I tried to eyeball 200mg I ended up feeling like I was going to die.
Ma’am, that is a 33 cl mixture of gas station sludge. It has no syrup, leaves, or apple juice. It is an amalgamation of the industrial output of several laboratories, distilled, mixed, powdered, re-liquefied, and ultimately inexorably joined in an unholy water chalice. God had no hand in the creation of this abhorrence. The fact that this terrible liquid exists proves that God is either impotent to alter His universe or ignorant to the horrors taking place in his kingdom. This prism of water is more than gas station sludge. It is a physical declaration of mankind’s contempt for the natural order. It is hubris manifest.
We also have a higher glucose variety if you would prefer that.I am so glad the Lemmy hivemind understood that reference because when I upvoted earlier today it was at 0 lmao
Oh yeah, that’s the one. I’ll take a case.
If you’re pounding back energy drinks on the regular, the type of sugar they use should be the least of your concerns.
nuh uh i like my kidney stones :3
This is a common joke but I genuinely tried to find a link between energy drinks and kidney stones on google scholar and could just go as far as soda and acidic drinks being maybe a little worse.

but also very good to know ty <3
fun fact! If you’re on Windows (or KDE) you can do Windows key + period to open an emoji menu.
L + ratio + windows pilled + bloat + i have Meta+period bound to rofimoji on i3wm it was just funnier to type “nerd emoji” :3
average :3ing Linux user
Kidney stones are definitely linked to dehydration and so are excess sugar and caffeine.
Honestly, I’d be more worried about the metabolic accelerant effects, as well as the dehydration and the gastrointestinal irritation (the laxative effect isn’t because it’s a good solvent:)) ).
I’m a pourover coffee kinda girl myself
is there even a sour patch kids flavored beverage that isn’t an energy drink?
Four Loko?
Water and/or unsweetened tea or coffee is pretty good.
You say that like I’m not already drinking a liter of tea in the morning before I get the coke zero bottle
Or you could just put sugar in. Or drink better tea. I heard good tea doesn’t even really need sugar.
Fuck it, good filtered coffee is good even without sugar, and with some sugar it’s a damn treat with almost no calories
Stop gaslighting me.
We’re all fucked. Whether it’s sugary or sugar-free, if your brain likes it it’s probably bad for you.
I mostly drink water and generally love me a good tall glass of ice cold water. Does that mean my water habit will kill me at some point?
Nah you’re good homes
I shall live forever then!
Counterpoint: butt stuff
Sounds like you haven’t tried enough shit. If you don’t like something healthy just eat it again. If you eat something enough times you will eventually like it. Not liking healthy food is for the weak minded.
Y’all aren’t getting that this comment is about stuff that tastes sweet.
this
not true. There’s plenty my brain likes that’s good for you. For example: cardio, sushi, coffee, sex, anchovies, tabbouleh, whitefish salad, bagels, and blankets. As always, all good things in moderation.
this is why I always try to use non sugar-free alternatives
