PREACH THIS. i struggle from a caffeine addiction, thereās people at my school who see me drink them daily and harass me about how bad it is for me. i know the dangers, but its not that simple to quit. with what you said, spreading awareness is fine! but to actively tell people to ājust stopā or the dangers of caffeine is not gonna help whatsoever. thank you, for speaking up about this :]

YES! I don't drink caffine or energy drinks, but there is a fine line between informing someone and borderline harassing someone. Say it once, maybe they didn't know, say it twice, ok- I get it, say it three times, WE KNOW!

tysm for this, as someone who drinks monster (not all the time but enough to not function without it) I wouldnāt appreciate it if people started bashing on me or ācalling me outā for it.

YES!! We should HELP them, not HATE them! I used to have a friend addicted to caffeine. I didnāt hate her for it, I spent more time with her and she had less time to drink it, she made promises to me not to drink more than two a week, and it worked. She was less addicted. She went off with some other people, and now sheās back to where she was, butā¦ I know itās better to help than harm.

I have been obsessed with monster since I was a few years younger. I take psych meds, which restricts me from being able to drink monster. I also came back from residential, where nothing like that was allowed. (We could barely drink soda unless it was for a special occasion) currently I am just waiting til I can have a monster again, and I keep thinking about it all the time. Right now, instead of monster, I drink sparkling water energy, and Mountain Dew kickstart. Itās not as much caffeine as monster, which is why Iām allowed to drink it. The problem is is that I used to drink like 4 monsters back to back when I was around friends. I feel extremely positive and happy when Iāve drank it, and thatās probably why I want it so badly. I spent my whole allowance on them, and my ex also enabled my obsession. He would deliver 4-5 monsters that he had bought for me at school, and he also was obsessed with them as well. I was one of those kids who collects all of the cans and makes a huge wall of them. I probably had about 50 cans that i had collected. I am probably addicted to monster atp. I just canāt handle seeing them in the store without begging my mom to buy me one. (Sorry for the rant š) Anyways, i love this post. Thanks for saying this. :

finally itās said! Iāve genuinely struggled with this since a kid (9-10) and I get headaches and other symptoms without caffeine, because I drink 2-3 caffeine things daily without even realizing (varies). People CONSTANTLY say itās affecting my height because Iām much shorter than everyone my age (itās genetics, not the sugar or caffeine!). thank you for this! /nav

So proud of you for being able to lower the amount youāre consuming (NOT to diminish those who canāt! /gen), itās a tricky thing to do! Congratulations :D I agree with you on all these points, I have a friend who struggles with it, instead of telling them to just quit, I encourage them to drink water etc alongside it, instead of shaming them when they do :3 (may I ask on your opinion on this approach? /nf)

I'm not addicted but I di drunk Celsius occasionally. Our family requires high amounts of anything to get addicted. With that being said my mom drinks coffee regularly and NEEDS it. I think regularly drinking Coffe or healthier energy drinks is fine. Just in moderation. Monsters are unfortunately on the lower end when it comes to healthier options. Not glazing Celsius though lol. I honestly would just be glad that your not on other types of drugs š, but regardless I am sorry you're getting these comments. People really go too far, and lose their conversation abilities even through a screen. I am actually also one of those viewers that is concerned but I never said anything lol it was just in the back of my mind. You didn't look like you needed help so I didn't say anything š

long post/rant: Please be respectful to those who consume caffeine and donāt completely bash them for the fact they do.
constantly looking down on people and giving them shit about them drinking energy drinks is NOT helpful. Many of us suffer from a caffeine addiction, which is a very common addiction that is not talked about much. Caffeine is indeed a drug, and is not something you can just quit doing on a random tuesday. By consuming large amounts of caffeine on a day to day basis, it slowly becomes something our body relies on and canāt feel normal without. Thatās also why the saying āiām not awake until iāve had my morning cup of coffeeā is a thing!!
Reminding someone how theyāre gonna get heart issues, kidney failure, and even death is just stressful for the individual. We are WELL AWARE of the factors that come with this. Drinking caffeine is indeed a risk, but that is for the person to make. I understand that most of the time people are just trying to help, which is totally okay. Just donāt overwork the person about it.
Itās one thing spreading awareness, itās another thing to be harassing individuals with the problem. I think itās great to be talking about the dangers of caffeine addiction and how caffeine has side affects. In no way do i promote overconsumption of caffeine in the slightest!! I just hope people realize itās not a very easy thing to quit, coming from someone whoās been actively trying to ween off caffeine for a year now. Iām down to drinking only about 200 mg a day which is a lot better than where i was at. I appreciate everyone whoās been very respectful about it, and i hope others can kind of understand where im coming from by this post!!
thank you for reading,, have a great rest of the weekend <33
