That Alert Energized Feeling...

[Finshaggy]

So Energy drink commercials.
Does America not realize that caffeine is their legal meth?

Why do you need "An Alert Energized feeling to get stuff done." ????

Are people so lazy now that they gotta be cranked up to work???

I used to drink an energy drink at work, but at a warehouse not at a desk, and I smoked weed on the way there, every break we got, and as soon as we got off.
So I was never really "Alert", just "Awake". I wasn't drinking enough to BE "Alert", and I don't think I would like to be any more alert than I already am at work, and if you can't get yourself energized to get a job done, without an "Alert Energized feeling" from your drink, then you're a crack head.

I just feel like the commercials are saying "Need meth at work? But they just won't let you shoot up on the job "


And they shouldn't be like that.
That's not right.

They make it sound good to be tweeky.
Like "This is the only way to get it all done, right?"

They shouldn't be allowed to advertise like that,
Considering it is ALSO addictive.

"Enticing" commercials, and addictive chemicals is a bad mix.

caffiene drinks are fucking ludacris as you can get caffiene pills at like 3 bucks a box for like 50 tablets

with each tablet containing 200mg of caffiene

lol you want energy just fucking drink coffee or have one of those pills

for the price of 1 can of redbull or monster you can get the ammount of caffiene in about a case or 2 of those things

I grind my own and load the maker for the thick brew! Most people don't care for their first taste but like it after their eye sight straightens out.

[dirtsurfr]

Yea Know when it's Just about rite when you take that first taste and your jaw locks up.....

People aren't sleeping enough as it is. There is no magic pill or drink for that matter.

 

[Finshaggy]

On King of the Hill one time, Hank said "They should just invent a pill that makes you happy."

And my first thought was "That's been done repeatedly, but they stop letting us have it everytime."

Equating caffeine to meth is ridiculous on so many levels. I'm not saying caffeine is totally harmless, but they are not even close.

I love to be sedated slightly. I quit the cola about a year ago, just beer, water and decaf now for me and an occasional shot of kratom water.
I was so addicted I woke up with empty coke bottles in bed. Its the only substance that makes me sleepwalk to get more.

Caffeine is worse than cocaine,
Meth is worse than cocaine

There is nothing but meth that we can really compare it to, without people taking it lightly

 

[guy incognito]

please elaborate on your reasoning.

Caffeine is pretty bad for your health, the thing is that 'you' don't realize it till you're off it. It's great stuff till you don't drink coffee for 2 weeks then try to drink it again. Then you realize how bad it is for a stimulant to be in your daily diet.

I love the taste of coffee though sometimes. I went to breakfast at Denny's the other week and got a decaf coffee then ordered a beer for the rest of my breakfast. Was worried the waitress would give me caffeinated coffee with the re-fill, actually.

I don't have a caffeine addiction and go long periods with ingesting, and long periods without. I notice mild headaches when I stop drinking it, but I get mild headache all the time anyway, even when I am actively drinking caffeinated drinks.

I seriously doubt I could use cocaine as much as I use caffeine and not suffer problems.
