I avoid energy drinks like the plague since kidney stones run in the family

however I drink coffee like nobody's loving business so I dunno if that even matters anymore

You're better off drinking coffee, not only is its caffine amount less, but its healthier. I know it's an accquired taste, but one that is worth it imo.

Coffee is healthy in healthy amounts. I drink too much coffee but I balance that out by drinking lots of water.

Quick tip to anyone: switch from soda to water. It will help you lose weight, it will make you feel better and in some extreme cases it might be the source of depression

I don't drink any, IMO all energy drinks taste the same and are objectively unhealthy.
Not that I'm a saint to my own health but I'm just not interested and don't want what's on offer.

It depends how much you drink and how you take it.
If you have 2-3 teaspoons of sugar per cup, and you drink 20 odd cups a day (which is not an extraordinary number for some) then you're taking in a lot of sugar each day.

Coffee is cheaper if you make your own. Of course it's more expensive if you buy from cafes and starbucks.
Invest in a thermos, make a thermos full of coffee and take that with you.

that homemade coffee is yucky though and leaves a really gross bitter taste.

Get better beans. Get full beans and a grinder.

it's only nasty if you're bad at making it

but if it's from a keurig with those little cup things then it's always nasty


I dislike how it tastes, and frankly it's awful to drink it regularly.

I'm staying off juice/soda/energy drinks. I've been off of them for two and a half weeks

You'd have more money if you stopped buying energy drinks every day.

And you can find some higher quality beans, and even higher quality instant coffee. The money you spend is worth it, because a single tub will make you a lot of coffee and last a long time.
