>finally decide to have an energy drink to see what all the fuss is about>down whole can in less than five minutes, it tastes like guarana juice made with sparkling water>...>...>...>absolutely fucking nothingSo, how did they trick everyone into pretending this had any effect on them? Was it just targetting, or did the placebo genuinely work on retards who went "wooow dude i totally feel energized" to fit in?
>>22253081You know what caffeine is, retard?
>>22253107I KNOW that despite downing the thing in five minutes on an empty stomach i literally did not feel a single fucking thing.
>>22253110>on an empty stomachWe'll there's the problem, genius. Caffeine doesn't work on an empty stomach
>>22253132pretty sure it's the opposite
I don't drink it often but I always keep a can in my fridge. This can make me go through a whole day without hint of tiredness if I ever to an all nighter
>>22253154Sounds like you fell for the placebo.
>>22253081you have adhd
>>22253162if it works it works
>>22253166nta but qrd? Caffeine and energy drinks have never done anything to me except when my heart felt weird when I had a 5 hr energy after an all nighter back in college. I did take an adderall once and it had me so on edge I had to go take a nap for a few hours until it wore off
>>22253173People with adhd can have an understated reaction to stimulants
>>22253173i wish i could try adhd meds just once to see how they are but i'd need to go through a whole costly process to get diagnosed since you're not allowed to buy those freely in my country
>>22253081I just like them, sorry you are a fiend and have to have things "happen" all the time.
>>22253110Yeah 200mg caffeine isnt going to give u jolt flowing through ur arms and bounce you off the walls. Are you Mormon, or something? Was thiis your first time having caffeine?
>>22253198>Was thiis your first time having caffeine?I drink coffee every now and then, does that count? Zero effect too, I just like the flavor.
>>22253081people who already use stimulants or any kind of drugs tend to not react to caffeine much. this can also apply to people who do intense physical work though. as long as your body receives certain chemicals from exercise or drugs, caffeine won’t feel like much.however, even if it doesnt feel like much, it will linger in your body and make your sleep worse.
>>22253207>and make your sleep worse.Well, I guess I'll see it this night and report back if the thread is still up
>>22253081add jagermeister to it
>>22253081Redbulls on Brazil are weak for whatever reason, try a Baly or Fusion.
>>22253081355ml of Red Bull would only have about 120mg of caffeine, which is a pretty moderate dose. It also depends on your body size and other factors. I would have expected some kind of reaction from someone that didn't regularly consume caffeine, but that's not entirely shocking that you didn't notice much effect.One thing that is absolutely 'not' placebo is caffeine withdrawals from quitting caffeine after you've started doing it regularly. You feel sluggish and out of it for 'days' after. And the remedy for this lethargy is simple, it's sold on every corner, just buy another coffee or energy drink!

And the remedy for this lethargy is simple, it's sold on every corner, just buy another coffee or energy drink!I'm going from 6 coffees a day with the goal of getting to 1 or none a day. I'm cutting down one per week and Monday/ Tuesday are the most grueling piece of shit days imaginable.
>>22253208Okay, reporting back, it was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary.
>>22253081Depending on the size of your Red Bull, it has a very small amount of caffeine. Drink two Monsters and tell us how you feel.
>>22254009now do it for weeks, months or even years and notice how your personality changes and you become generally less healthy from reduced sleep qualityor if you’re lucky, you can be one of those guys who chug caffeine all day every day, wake up late in the afternoon, stay up well beyond midnight and still insist that caffeine has no bad effects on themalthough to be clear, a coffee a day or one energy drink is safe enough
>>22254009yeah man, caffeine just doesn't bind to your adenosine receptors. I guess your just built different from everyone else! go ahead and down a few of those 300mg reign or bang cans and get back to us
>>22253081These helped me through some hungover mornings but a full-sized full sugar monster makes me feel like I'm going to die.
