what is ur advice to stop drinking energy drinks?

[misterpuk]

I hear cocaine works.

Wheeeeeeee!

For starters, diet drinks are probably worse than sugar drinks (I see some comments recommending that).

To stop, start by drinking less energy drinks. If you cut down slowly, the withdrawal symptoms will be easier to deal with. Like drink half of what you drank or w/e. You could also just get a replacement berevage like many have suggested (prob best choice).

Do what i did, i drunk 13 0,5L energy drinks in one day and felt like im having heart attack as teenager, if after that u still wanna drink those, im impressed

It's pretty easy not to drink pop when there is no such thing. You mean soda I assume?

OK, well up here in MN we call it Pop.

Switch to sugar-free at the very least.

[Mirishka]

Meh they aren't that bad, 3-4 days and you are good to go. Just take some aspirin.

Your experience =/= everyone's experience.

Consume a different beverage. Maybe my experience is different, but caffeine for me isn't something I go into withdrawal missing if I don't get it, so really... why not just stop drinking it?

I typically enjoy a cup of coffee or two per day, but I find energy drinks disgusting and will never touch the stuff.

True but it still applies. Stop drinking it and you'll be fine. At worst they can taper off if there's actually an 'addiction' to energy drinks going on; strong coffee is a good substitute for this purpose IMHO.

Either way, consuming a lot of coffee is better than consuming a small amount of energy drinks in terms of health detriment. Coffee just has a lot of caffeine for the most part. I mean if you've ever looked at the nutrition label on even a small can of energy drink you can see what I am talking about... it's insane.

PS: Adding to both of my above posts, if you hate coffee and can't doctor it to an extent that you find it tolerable or whatever, caffeinated soda will work okay, too, but isn't really ideal to replace it. At best, you can use whatever you have to to taper off, including energy drinks, if you seriously have a caffeine addiction. (@OP, not the person I quoted above previously)

In the end, at worst it's realistically handled like any other addiction; either taper off, or go cold turkey and weather it. TBH, it shouldn't be hard as caffeine doesn't exactly have long term effects, it's just something you get used to; I'm not really convinced people really get addicted to caffeine, but as the above poster said earlier... experiences may vary.

dont open them, just stare at them long and hard, tug one off and have a nap.

switch to coffee. taurine is made from Bull jizz. if coffee is too bitter for you, man up or add some syrup to it.

Taurine isn't made from bull jizz, el oh el.

OT: Wean yourself off them slowly if you can't go cold turkey.

You don't drink soda, soda goes in cakes and cookies to make them not fall

You mean carbonated soft drink beverages?

[Ealyssa]

taurine is made from Bull jizz.

Like the saying :

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

1)taurine commercial usage is artifical
2)natural taurine comes from the pancreas

I'm make energy drink myself. A Coldbrew coffee recipe.

You put coffee in a jar, together with water and put it in the refrigerator for 10-14 hours. Strain now.

You can use this as substitute for energy drinks.

I mix it with milk and sometimes vanilla sugar.

It tastes like 'Monster Java' but is a lot healthier. (if you don't overdo it with the sugar)

Or yeah... just don't drink then.

i might be consuming too many energy drinks, what is ur advice to stop drinking them?

Hey Natta, I think can help. I have a high caffeine tolerance since I go through cycles of taking pre-workouts and fat burner powders, then go on cleaning cycles to get back to normal before resuming.

If your country has them, try the Monster Rehab drinks. They're made of mostly tea, they're not carbonated, and they taste fantastic. About 150mg of caffeine per can. When I do my cleaning cycles, I'll drink two cans a day for about two weeks, then I'll go one week of one per day, then I'll do about another two to three weeks with nothing. During this whole time, make sure to drink nothing but water. If you find the taste bland, try using crystal light or that Mio liquid(or similar) to give a little variety.

Expect to still have a headache here and there and generally feel kinda crappy but you'll get over it soon.

[Stormspark]

Wean yourself off of them. I had to give up all caffeine cold turkey, and I had pounding withdrawal headaches for 6 weeks.

Use generic excedrin (available at Walmart for $4 for 200). It's a mix of aspirin, acetominohen, and a small amount of caffeine. It really helps. Each day or two take less until you're taking half a tablet once a day. At that point you can stop those and be caffeine free.

So, energy drinks include caffeine (obviously), but also nutrients your body needs--usually B vitamins and amino acids. Taurine and Pantothenic Acid are two common supplements in energy drinks. If you're very specifically craving energy drinks and not just caffeine, add more lean protein (for the amino acids) and b vitamin supplements to your supplement regimen, or eat more b vitamin foods (since there are a lot of b vitamins, this may vary).

I supplement with both a b vitamin complex and pantothenic acid separately and buying the latter supplement entirely cut out my energy drink cravings.

Ah, I never thought about the B vitamins. But I don't drink energy drinks and I already take B complex supplements, that's probably why.

I never drank energy drinks, so I can't really give you advice on how to stop drinking energy drinks in specific, but this is what I did to stop drinking sodas:

I stopped buying them to keep at home, meaning that if I was buying any, it was for a single portion. No six-packs or 2L bottles.
I tried to not finish a whole bottle/can/whatever.
Then I tried to wean myself off of it by going to similar, yet healthier alternative.
Eventually, I got used to the alternative, and the original was too sweet for me to enjoy.

If you're relying on energy drinks to get through your daily routine, you may want to see if you're out of shape or not getting enough sleep.
