    what's wrong with coffee??..
    Don't want to be a slave under it, like I find many are. 
    i get your point..but then we must stop(shop-doing) many things..
    are you eating chocolates??
    Not that often. But candy I have had since I was a kid. 

    I never started with coffee. I kept drinking tea instead. 
    you were talking for addiction i guess..i thought your point was about the ''industry'' around the coffee..
    Yes, exactly. Don't want to be a "I'm not awake untill I get my cup" or "Oh no. I can't drink a cup later than after lunch - then I'm up all night!

    But sometimes after lunch I do take a small cup with oatmilk. Because I drink like 5-6 cups of tea per day at work, so I get tired of it.

    I just got back from Chile I spent a week in Patagonia and our guide for trekking through the mountains drank Mate he called it Patagonia Red Bull really good taste you have to drink it through a metal straw..
    Dude! A week in Patagonia sounds f-ing epic! Would love to hear stories and see photos!
    It was stunningly beautiful 
    Yo! Those clouds look amazing! 

    Thread integrity: I am a long time energy drink consumer. Fwiw over the past few years, I have gone with low/no calorie and sugar free drinks.

    Redbull has been around since millennials have been in diapers, boomer.

    Usually too much salt, in this case most likely too much sugar.

    Edit,  I drink Kambucha and no sugar added seltzers now. If I get crazy it's a Mexican Coke.  Those are a wonderful rare treat.

    "mexican coke"

    that'll give you some energy, for sure.

    I don't drink the big energy drinks, but I do have the occasional Extra Strength 5-hour Energy. Those teeny little shots really work! I usually knock one back if I'm especially tired for a family dinner or something like that, and need to perk up fast and for a few a hours.

    These things make me feel a bit jumpy but I'll take one before an early morning round of golf if I am dragging...or I got a long drive ahead of me or something.

    Low sodium V8 is good with the salt. We always have that in the house.

    These things...yeah I guess there is sugar or stevia or whatever in there. Still I think they're better for you than a regular energy drink.

    I do like these.  I can't do the extra or a whole one.  I'll take a 1/4 or 1/2 the bottle.  Last time I did a whole one my heart was on nitro.
