Correction: The logo at 11:18 is the logo of the American Bar Association. We meant to show the logo of the American Beverage Association: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/American_Beverage_Logo.png/1920px-American_Beverage_Logo.png
nope
It would be good to see a video like this about nicotine. Not specifically cigarets but cigars and nicotine pouches. Both becoming very popular. There is so much conflicting information about both.
The logo you used to represent the American Beverage Association at 11:18 is actually the logo for the American Bar Association.
@@picturemaker Those non-tobacco nicotine pouches being referenced on damn near every podcast without noting “paid advertisement” doesn’t seem like a coincidence with their popularity...
ZYN pouches specifically, but I haven’t seen any concrete evidence showing the popularity is caused by this apparent product placement, nor that they actually are paid ads.
I guess it’s just as possible that those podcasts got into the pouches _because_ of their rise in popularity, but something doesn’t feel right & the amount of misinformation (on the risks, etc) is definitely there at a high level
Never! F*ck Brilliant!
In Poland energy drinks became 18+ with the beginning of this year actually. It’s funny when buying one energy drink at self serve register and having to wait for a staff haha
I think that's actually reasonable. Good for Poland.
On the other hand I'm not in favor of gouvernment regulation into individual people's day to day life.
It'd be better if energy drinks just are not to be advertised to young drinkers... make the companies / producers take responsibility.
Polish guy here, they made energy drinks that have more than 15 mg of caffeine per 100 ml 18+, everything below that has no restrictions. Many Polish energy drink companies made versions with 14 mg/100 ml to bypass it, though they aren't as popular and many teenagers still manage to buy the normal ones sometimes.
@@fumomofumosarum5893 like the wealthy folks would ever allow such hit to their profits
UK did this it’s so dumb, you can buy 40Litres of coke if you wanted too. Even 3 diet cokes is worse than 1 red bull !!!! but i think they should either limit them all or none
@@Sebowsky_Diet Coke is 46mg/330ml !!
I’m a coffee drinker and for a few years I started to get into energy drinks really heavily. As of a few months ago I started lowering my consumption because I kept feeling so exhausted all the time and unable to sleep very well (a problem I’ve always kind of had). Nowadays I usually have my one cup of coffee in the morning, or none at all if it’s after noon, and immediately I feel like my sleep is more restful and I have slowly been having a stronger surge of energy throughout the entire day instead of until early afternoon. It’s been legitimately life changing in such a short time. I don’t think I’ll ever give up coffee entirely, I like the flavour a lot, but I’m glad I’m sticking to reducing my consumption of caffeine entirely as I get to being healthier
Same, I still buy smaller energy drinks but limited to 1/5th of a can. My sleep was being completely ruined before
Try valerian capsules or tincture , if you can handle the taste of the liquid . There's also a herbal combination , by the title of HVS - which is Hops , Skullcap , Valerian . All known sporoifics = relaxants to enable sleep without side effects .
You don't have to abandon caffeine entirely; just take it in moderation. 1-2 cups in the morning should be enough. Like with anything, too much can be a bad thing, but limiting your intake to a reasonable amount is fine.
Same 1 cup Coffee without milk and sugar feel so refreshing
One cup in the morning is negligible.
3:10 The beer taste part was not entirety correct. Beer was also cleaner than water because of the alcohol. No harmful bacteria in beer, hence better chance of survival.
It's more the brewing rather than the alcohol. Beer has far too low alcohol content to have any serious disinfecting ability.
@@azminek7154
Yuusou is right, Azmiinek. You're just blowing it out your ass. Total nonsense.
If a yeast powerful enough to produce alcohol and CO2, it's powerful enough to kill off fat, lazy, weak-skinned bacteria.
@@azminek7154this ^
my teacher always said that they drank wine though...
A bigger contributor is actually the boiling that goes into brewing it. Before germ theory, people didn’t know that all you needed to do to disinfect water was boil it
Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi sell no-caffeine versions now. They taste identical and I'd recommend anyone who is able to, buys these instead. If I want caffeine I have coffee.
This. Dude I drink coke zero all day. Literally all day. At least 5. Then 1 or 2 sprite zeros before bed. I got problems
Edit, feel the need to mention. I drink the sprite because no caffeine and I find it easier to sleep. However, sleep is getting worse as I get older and I need to solve this. So, I just need to find a bunch of coke zero caffeine free and coke zero caffeine free. Does ANYONE know where they're plentiful?
@@Pr0toPoTaT0 Might want to do your research into aspartame. The thing non caffeinated drinks use as a sweetener, which health services have been warning us about for YEARS. Carcinogen
@@Pr0toPoTaT0dude, just drink water
@@Pr0toPoTaT0 Coke zero is a good choice when on ocasion for example going out with your friends and family you would rather choose zero instead of the original one, but if you drink it daily can be as bad, you will not get fat because there is no sugar but the other effects will still remain, for example your teeth because of the phosphoric acid.
I’d recommend people stop drinking sugar water regardless of how much caffeine is in it. Water is free.
I quite like the measured response you gave here - that caffiene itself isn't nearly as dangerous as the things that companies package with it or use it within, like sugar. I'm a coffee a day guy but used to have 1 or 2 energy drinks a day and although I thought I felt fine when I was doing that, now that I've stopped it's clear that they really mask some of the things your body tries to tell you - I'm less tired now and wake up feeling more refreshed.
There is something to be said for the health benefits of caffiene but those are typically in regards to the caffiene itself, and are usually outweighed by the unhealthy shit that companies put with it in other drinks. But yeah great video as always gang!!
Kinda like nicotine.... Cigarettes are SO bad because of the 2,000 OTHER chemicals and tar.... But put it in gum or a vape and it's 95% safer than cigarettes. Most people don't wanna admit this.... And I'm not saying nic is safe, it's still risky, but it's not as deadly as it is in cigarettes!
It took me multiple months to slowly reduce the amount of caffeine I drink everyday, after consuming it daily for years. After 3 months of slowly going lower and lower using green and black tea, I finally managed to cut it out. Now I'm so sensitive to I again that a glass of coke is enough to get me through a night. I regret nothing and I honestly can't even say that I'm any less productive, just less stressed.
Coke and Energy are bad Coffeine to much sugar
Cup pur Coffee without sugar/milk rlly good but not more than 1 cup a day
@@muysli.y1855 fair point, mostly did it cause I was fed up with being dependent on it. I hate coffee and it's usually a lot more difficult to come buy tea. So the only alternative when I was traveling was usually energy drinks, which are super unhealthy. So I just stopped all together to get rid of yet another thing I needed to worry about it
11:19 The logo you showed of the ABA is the one of the American Bar Association (the bar as the one the lawyers have to pass to practice law), and not the American Beverage Association.
I came to say the same thing, I was just looking at one of their articles while this video was playing and I thought I was having a stroke
When you get the basics like this wrong, it throws some serious doubt on everything else you proclaim FERN
@@Voodoo288 He probably does this on purpose to get engagement. Genius if you ask me
@@Voodoo288 the people behind fern are very trustworthy. They are Germans and they once were state sponsored. Their German channel is called Simplicissimus. It’s not a real word. Mistakes happen.

This video is very well timed for me. I had been debating quitting coffee, and I know its gonna suck bc my withdrawals are terrible (the reason why I'm quitting).
I honestly drink coffee for fun and for the flavour, but it's just not worth it anymore.
I hope I can sleep better without it.
I wish you find the strength to quit then. In the long run you will benefit much more than an few days will hurt.
The great thing about Caffeine is that the withdrawal effect is shorter compared to other drugs.
Depending on how much you have taken in, the withdrawal effect will last generally from 2 to 9 days.
But what really matters is what you do for your own health.
I wouldn't recommend quitting if the withdraw effect is too great for you
I largely quit caffeine after my anxiety disorder got suddenly worse
drinking decaf coffee helped bridge the gap for me and the withdrawal was very manageable.
I believe most decaf still has a small percentage of caffeine left
so I'd recommend trying that
it's esp good if coffee is like a morning ritual, just decaffeinate it
I also like the flavor, get a quality decaf coffee you will not regret it :D
I am just coming out of a coffee addiction and would like to comment on this. Caffeine can be good for you, in small amounts and especially not regularly! I drank energys for years, not because I liked them but because they made me happy, they gave me the drive I needed in my everyday life. But i always had to increase this to be happy until my body couldn't take it anymore. i passed out 3 times, had extreme mood swings, outbreaks of sweating, concentration problems and sleepless nights. this is not ideal in a working environment. I went cold turkey for 2 months and I'm fine. Sometimes in "bad" times the urge for energy is still there, but I resist it. I think it's a very good video, keep up the good work. (Sorry for my bad english)
your english is phenomenal fella, thought you were a native speaker till you apologized. 👍🏼
Oh, thank you very much :) @@Idarece
No clue this wasn’t your first language until u said it
The rush of energy comes from the sugar, not the caffeine or itself. Caffeine just makes u less tired/awake, occasionally your heart racing and sweaty
Enegy drinks = bad
Cup Coffee w/o sugar and milk = good
Like if you also want the cocaine back in Coca-Cola!
Cocaine isn’t addicting either! People just like the smell of it
Better than fentanyl for sure
@daftlad526 yes and also of course fentanyl back in fanta!
I love coffee but i started having long-term fatigue issues as well. Now i don't drink coffee any later than 2pm so that most of my sleep is unaffected by it at night. It made a massive difference as i felt relaxed and comfortable going into a deep healthy sleep each night knowing i could still enjoy my coffee boost in the morning. Caffeine is fine in moderation as long as you know when it's okay to have it, similar to alcohol. Oh and i only ever have an energy drink if i'm on a long journey and need to stay alert for safety
I’ve been binging your vids all week, rewatching them for the second time and having a new upload makes me so happy
I think of caffeine like NOS for an engine,it can give you a hell of a boost,but if overdone it will effectively melt your engine(your heart stops)
You guys do fantastic videos. Really would like to see more like the hidden bunker, fortress train, etc. Thank you - good stuff!

... as I watch drinking an energy drink to feel not depressed.... I.... Might need to find another drink.
I have the same issue. what works for me is finding another drink that gets me excited to drink it, for now it's boba drinks (with or without tea).
hey, i had exactly the same problem. try to reduce it or go cold turkey. face your bad feelings, they will become good ones over time. if you like, keep updating us. Good luck on your journey.
Lowered mood is one withdrawal sympton of caffeine.
i used to have an extreme soda addiction and i replaced it with smoothies and various fruit juices if this helps
What kind of energy drinks are you drinking? I'm constantly off my gord and psyched up.
Man I love fern. They make high quality, original content and bring up topics one would hardly htink of. Keep up the good job
I actually have even better ideas than this channel, and I've also thought up many of these ideas before this channel even made those same ideas into videos. Would you watch any documentary I made? I haven't made any videos yet, but I could you know? So why don't you consider watching them when I someday maybe make them? You jerk.
This was a great video!
I’ve got a habit of drinking one to a few cups coffee as a wake up “ritual” in the morning at the start of work on weekdays, or days when I know I’d be busy or haven’t gotten enough sleep. And I get milk tea now and then since it’s a nice treat. *But* I’m always keeping the risks of caffeine in my mind because I know too much could really hurt something in my gut if not careful. And of course, I don’t indulge in any caffeine way too close to bedtime.
(And I also don’t touch any energy drinks; not my thing personally and they just seem like too extreme of a caffeine shot.)
The amounts of caffeine in something like monster is similar to your average cup of coffee
Great video, as always. Thank you!

Such an interesting video. I can give you my experience with energy drinks. (I'm 18 now). I used to drink a lot of energy drinks when I was 14-16 years old. I drank roughly 2 cans a day, sometimes even more. I couldn't get ANY quality sleep and It was SO BAD FOR ME. Almost everymorning I woke up with a feeling that a truck would have drovwn over me. I was so anxious. I was so nervous.
Now. I've quit them mostly. My life is going really great. I don't actually need them. I still drink 2 cans a WEEK but that's okay for me.
Very well produced and researched video. Thanks.
Who else came across this video at 2am?
12am for me, but I usually don't go to bed until 4am. Work second shift.
2:25
I've been weaning off of caffeine and swapping to decaf has made a huge difference. I still get to drink coffee or tea when I crave it, but I don't have nearly as many of the problems any more. I have one cup of normal coffee when I get up, and will be cutting it slowly with decaf over time to avoid the worst of withdrawals.
I am in the same boat, coffee or tea in the morning and a cup for the drive home from work. I recently stopped the drive home drink, and substituted with herbal tea. The stat about caffeine still being in the system by 2AM really opened my eyes to this and confirmed it’s a good choice to eliminate afternoon caffeine
I also felt better pushing my morning coffee to one hour after waking up instead of it being the first thing i do
Pro Tip: the easiest way to kick caffeine is to get some doctor-approved amphetamine and sprinkle it in your morning OJ
I find your video very well made all was really good researched and looked into.
2 things I still want to add as critique:
1.
When you put your own opinion inside which is perfectly fine but you should flag it better on the side. The grey box was basically unnoticable to me. Bright or contrasting colours work very good here.
2. This is actually not real critique maybe but a sidenote. You did include the health risks for dangerous teenage caffeine consumption but the actual health risks for adults when they drink over the dose of those for cups or two cans were not mentioned or forgotten if I recall this right. I would've actually really liked to see them mentioned there and was curious about that topic.
But like I said. Very good video and I am going to harshly tighten my caffeine consumption and try to be more wary of the effects. Thank you
I usually drink only two cups of coffee a day, sometimes only one. Some time ago i decided not to drink it for a few days and I actually experienced mild withdrawal symptoms. That made me realise how addictive and powerful this drug really is.
Thanks for reminding me why I have a headache. Will watch the rest once I get my afternoon coffee!😁
Having watched both my parents consume caffeinated beverages daily growing up, and being aware of both the benefits and dangers of caffeine (and added sugar), my relationship with caffeine is a careful one. I never had a full caffeinated beverage until I hit adulthood, and the first time I tried an energy drink I asked around for advice on how to do so safely. A bit overly cautious, perhaps, but I'm glad I did.
Caffeine affects everyone differently, as you said, and everyone has their own limits. I've found I can only consume up to 200 mg before energy drinks teeter into anxiety juice territory and my heart starts doing some funky things it probably really shouldn't. However, at 200 mg or below it can be a help, used responsibly. I'm neurodivergent (primarily ADHD-C), which also is a totally different thing for everyone, and for me caffeine sometimes assists me with my more-lacking-than-average concentration abilities.
That said, I look for energy drinks with very low sugar contents or natural sweeteners, or just outright opt for a cup or two of black tea with a little honey. And when I do consume energy drinks, I try to give myself at least a day's worth of a break before having another one, if not going multiple days without an energy drink to avoid developing severe withdrawal symptoms. Sometimes I'll even split an energy drink with a friend for a slightly lower caffeine intake. And no caffeine for me at all after five in the afternoon. Heck, I try to avoid caffeine anytime in the afternoon if I can.
Thank you Fern for another delightful and well-put-together presentation. And to all of you out there facing your own journeys with caffeine, be it consumption or dropping it altogether, I wish you the best of luck and good health.
Hey Fern, I am a giant fan of your channel. I just wanted to point out something I noticed. The ABA logo you used is actually the one for the American Bar Association, not the American Beverage Association. As a lawyer, I had to nitpick. Keep up the great work!
I wish there was more info on caffeine on RUclips but this is really the best summary I've seen. Recently went 1.5 years with no caffeine after being a really heavy user of it and the benefits are easy to see. If you can do it in moderation (only a few days a week) it's great. But even one cup a day everyday will mean you get withdrawal effects when you eventually go without it for a day
I've been caffeine free for 1 month. I have to say I get happier easily, and things used to stress me out isn't that stressful anymore, although the withdrawal stage is really annoying, especially the random anxiety but it easily avoidable if you go fix what causing your anxiety which majority of the population isn't capable of
Withdrawals are easily preventable. Lifebro tip: I never have withdrawals; because I carry sachets of Blend 43 with me 24/7/365. If I don't have a cup, I pour the sachet straight into my mouth and it down with water.
Very well made video. Informative
I love these videos and ur voice is perfect
very well made video, loved it.
This video makes me want to make a coffee so bad ! 😅 I have quit caffeine for a month recently which in return, when I drank a cup of coffee i had a massive euphoric reaction ❤
This is also one thing I think overconsumption takes away, the joy of actually consuming something appropriately. As I say, what fun is cake if there's cake everyday?
@@atruv2089 I agree
The problem is that I need a piece of the cake to be motivated everyday 😢 @mailman6155
I'm here since this channel had
One thing both my parents told me when I started drinking coffee is that I’m borrowing energy from the next day. That 12:20 really is a good way of showing it. I type with my coffee next to me 👀 one thing I notice with coffee, when I stop drinking it particularly, is the polyphenols that the gut bacteria eat are subtly not producing what ever nutrients they normally do and I feel better when they are. Like when having switched to tea or energy drinks in the past and switching back to coffee it was like taking a mood stabilizer as well as a stimulant 🤷 what ever those polyphenol eating gut bacteria are producing is subtle but very nice. Your guts like eating strongly colored foods, I think coffee being black is ironically the best 😂
lol! not true. Amphetamines and coke? molly? definetly!
also the half life hes talking about is pure bs.. he dosent understand what half life means. you RARELY or never actually feel any effects past the half life of a drug.
I could drink coke, coffee, but not RED BULL
@@user-pg1ns1tf3omy blue heaven?
Borrowing energy from the next day is something you say when you go out drinking lol not consuming caffeine
Amazing video as always
Had wise parents , who refused to allow me to drink coke - no pepsi etc then , but coffee & tea were about , and those were sugared up initialy , with a gradual cut back on sugar & tea , but an increse recently in coffee , smelall teaspoons of instant , 1 only per mug , with cream or a half - half blend of dairy .
No other caffine is consumed , and i also watch pharmacutical prescriptions side effects - sme of which are very caffine like , which i dont like , having tried no doze , once , never again .
Now I want a pepsi.
Amazing video, well done man
Absolutely love this channel
Great video! Can you talk about alcohol next?
New vid and you know its gonna be a blast watching it
Got an ad for Coffee at the end of the video. Nice! 😅
I've heard in research up to 400mg is okay per day but that seems high to me. I'd say no more than 2-300 & no later than 1-2pm. I have stomach issues & it does upset that but I do need it for my workout so I stick to 100mg upon waking & work out in the morning & I don't have come down or sleeplessness because that is a pretty low dose used in AM.
Excellent video!
This was a well documented video, fantastic.
here in canada. Its 14+ for energy drinks. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CANADIAN RULES THAT ARE GOOD
I was addicted to caffeine (mostly in forms of daily cups of coffee / espresso) from the ages of 18-21 during university. I still love the taste and aroma of coffee, but was luckily able to ease off of it and feel a lot better overall in daily life.
I’ve been a coffee drinker for nearly all my adult life and have generally never noticed any side effects - except with one kind of coffee. Most of the time I can easily fall asleep under the right conditions even after consuming a cup of coffee. Often I’ll start to fall into a nap after eating lunch and having a cup of coffee. The warmth of the drink overcomes the caffeine, and eases me into a cozy sleep. But whenever I have a Keurig cup of coffee (8 oz store brand medium roast) my skin flushes, I begin to sweat and itch, and my heart races.
Why?
What is it about Keurig coffee pods (store brand no less) that creates such a strong reaction in me? I normally drink drip Gevalia medium roast. I add 2 Tbs per 6 cups of water and have a mug or two at a time - daily - with no reaction. Often falling asleep, like I mentioned. But the moment I have a Keurig cup at my parents house (multiple times a week) I have a very strong reaction. It’s not like I don’t have a tolerance. And it’s not like this is a new thing. I’ve been doing this for years. So what is causing this kind of reaction from Keurig?
sugarfree energy drinks are not that bad actually if you don't drink more than ~150mg caffeine a day (100-300 depending on person)
Great vid ❤
The ad before the Video: café ad haha
Coffee doesn’t give you magic energy it just takes energy you already have and gives it to you immediately but then when you need that energy later you don’t have it, so you need to drink coffee again and again.
I'm 25 and i have probably drinked coffee for 15+ years hardly going a single day with at least 1 cup of coffee. I do 2-4 cups daily half morning and half in the night before going to ves. Strangely i had rarely had sleep issues caused by coffee, usually i can have a pretty good sleep. My real problem is i do coffee with sugar and cream. I had try lowering my sugar consumption but it's really hard for me and i'm really sacred of diabetes
great video!
I never ever comment on videos or anything. But damn you guys are so awesome at what you are doing.
Thx for the amazing content you give us!
It is unbelievable what caffeine does with our health. There should be not advertising for products like coke or energy drinks. Children must be protected by banning especially advertising on social media. In addition the government should also ban advertising on public websites in order to avoid consuming caffeine drinks.
Found out why that topic and intro felt so familisr. I've seen it already at Simpli last year
Great video!!
I can't feel caffeine anymore.
In short: caffeine is okay... *in moderation.* Don't go downing it like water, and especially not within 6-7 hours of sleep.
I've always thought of starting to drink coffee because everyone else in our office does. However, the more I think about it I think I'd be better off by just continuing to drink tea which I can recommend a lot.
Hopefully you are aware tea also contains caffeine(More in black tea, less in green) :) like everything in life - everything should be in moderation, also tea
Man, a mug of Earl Grey contains 40 mg of caffeine. Green Tea has 16 mg of caffeine. So, you recommend caffeine, because you are an addict like all of us. 😄
@@itay51998many teas (infusions/w.e) don't have tea leaves in them
Tea is just as addictive imo, or well to my body at least.
i hate anything that has caffein in it
I am very caffeine insensitive, but my caffeine intake is limited to a cup of made at home with nothing else in it coffee in the morning. I enjoy the flavor. Periodically I try different decafs since the caffeine doesn't do anything for me anyway. Unfortunately the decaffeination preocess change the flavor too much. EA process decafs are getting pretty close though, so I feel I'm about to be pretty much caffeine free.
"Naturally" medium high caffeinated drinks like coffee or green/black tea should only be consumed by people age 12 and over. Artificial or fortified drinks with more than 120% the amount of caffeine of strong coffee per volume as well as caffeine pills should be strictly 18+ like hard liquor.
I'm terribly addicted to V energy drinks. I'm drinking one as I right this. I can easily go through 3 or more 4 packs of the small V boxes a day. Not even exaggerating it's so bad!! But I love the drink that much. Oh not to mention how much it costs me haha it's about 10 to 11 bucks a 4 pack so 3 or more boxes a day it adds up over a week!!
I used to be very addicted to caffein, if i didn't get my coffee in the morning i was guaranteed to get a headache shortly after lunch. When my wisdom teeth got removed i saw the perfect opportunity to get "clean" because my dentist told me not to consume any and also i was on ibuprofen the whole day anyways. Now i'm not consuming caffein during the week and i also don't feel any need to.
I used to be a daily coffee drinker up until the past month. My energy levels are now more consistent throughout the day thanks to me no longer being dependent on caffeine.
I'm convicned most people aren't addicted to coffe. Just the routine, it's something to hold, part of a daily routine on the way to work/school/social outings etc. I say that as someone who used to spend £150-£250 a month on coffee/snacks at such shops during my daily routine at university. Yet when home for holidays 1 cup of tea was enough or 0 when travelling abroad for long periods.
My dad started me on coffee before I could remember, if I had to estimate about 6-8 years old. He'd put creamer in it since I didn't like the taste. (I think his parents raised him on it early so he insisted on the same for me.) I still drink it all these years later, turning 22 in April. Now I drink mine black and he's a big fan of creamer.
I feel blessed for having this channel in my life
I’m in my early twenties and have sometimes been on the verge of beginning a lifelong caffeine addiction. Thankfully in the past couple of years I’ve got my nutrition and exercise in order to the point where my energy levels are so good that it would be dumb to start having caffeine.
8:43 the editer must be germany, witht he fritz cola, great episode!
I stop caffine for 6 month and the first 2 week was a lot headpain but I sleep better. Than I drink something that had caffine in it I dint know and than I was back hockt.

Caffeine made me nervous so much i was slightly shaking all the time but i was drinking up to 5 coffees a day. Now im back to 0-1 a day
That's overdose level
@@tk-5268 i never knew ^^
I do consume caffeine, though in moderation. I don't rely on having coffee daily, and I don't drink energy drinks. My "main culprit" is Pepsi Max, but I drink it because I like the flavor and not for the caffeine. If Sodastream had the caffeine free Pepsi Max syrup, I'd definitely buy that and use it at least part time.
And yes, I have a Sodastream at home instead of buying ready made softdrinks, our tap water in Sweden is absolutely excellent (I just have sensory issues with drinking plain water and do better with at least carbonation). Thankfully the energy drink garbage has an age limit here as of some years, to try to protect young people from it. Personally wish energy drinks would get even more restricted because it's still an issue among both minors and adults alike. It's not just consumption for many, but over consumption instead of just having a healthy pace in life
Was not expecting this video to start in my hometown lmao
Actually i got anxiety disorder because of it
It's really not that great for you. But it should be used properly when used. I.E 1.5 to 2 hours after waking up (after a proper nights sleep)
14 years old, recently started drinking straight black coffee but decided I didn't want to sacrifice my sleep - I still occasionally have a day where I drink 2-3 cups
noooooooo don't ruin your body you're so young
Caffeine addiction really messed me up as a teenager. As I got older I became far more sensitive to it, probably because my consumption decreased. If I drink 1 can if nonster I get major heart palpitations and chest pain. Last time I drank one I genuinely thought I was going to have a heart attack. These days I drink just 1 8 oz cup of regular coffee per day.
Back when I was in High School (early 2000s) they had a whole vending machine with 'Water Joe' caffeinated water. I drank that so often! We also had Monster and RedBull and a massive amount of candy and chocolate at the school store. Crazy...
I love the coffein free cola. I like to drink normal coke or zero when i eat certain hearty meals. But the uncaffinated version taste like a refreshing drink instead of sugsr syrup
Good video, watching this while sipping cola lol🫣
Bro why your brilliant has no other payment option than credit card.
I haven't had a cup of tea, coffee, energy drink or anything of the sort in well over 2 months (I did have them maybe once every week or few weeks in the past) and the reason is because I don't enjoy any of those drinks that contain it enough, so i end up never having caffeine. I've also always been very sensitive to it throughout my life and can only have like 1 cup of tea, anymore and I start to get very anxious.
I drink like 3 liters of water a day and 1 energy drink and 1 coffee a day for years and I’m totally fine. I think drinking too much sugar is way worse. Drinking 1 liter of coke (100g sugar) is worse than 1 energy drink(40g sugar) regardless of the caffeine
Somedays I drink a lot of coffee in the morning and somedays less. Sometimes I also drink coffee in the evening (like 6 pm) for the taste of it.
I also had a time where I was drinking 3 or 4 cans of Red Bull throughout the day. To be honest: I never had issues with my sleep or any withdrawal effects, no matter how much of it I drank. But reading the comments shows me that a lot of people do have these kind of issues. Seems to be different for every person, like you said in the video.
I didn't drink coffee at all until 27. One day I said, the hell with it, I feel tired so I'm going to buy and make a coffee. Googled the right dose and brewed it. Omg the effect f'd me up. I was shaking, heart beating fast, felt out of breath, almost called the ambulance 😂
I now very rarely consume caffeine. The only caffeine that I've had in the past six months or so has been one Kit Kat bar (in its chocolate). And it's been great. I can focus so much better on work and on other aspects of my life. I make much fewer mistakes. I have deeper sleep. When I'm tired, I actually do fall asleep. I no longer get irritated at others or at general life events. I'm calmer.
I drink tea throughout the day but stop 8 hours before sleep. I used to drink vodka redbull quite often when I worked behind a bar in my younger days and somehow survived on 2-3 hours sleep a night. I can't do that anymore. I avoid energy drinks now and thankfully, I've never liked coffee.
Literally drinking coffee right now. I consume around 13 teaspoons of coffee two times a day and sometimes I drink red bull when coffee is not available. Only donwside that I saw is that it makes me hungry and when I am hungry it makes me very weak, so weak in fact that I feel like I will fade out. I start shaking and have to eat something very quickly.
This should open a wider discussion about the role of psychoactive compounds in our society. It’s honestly fascinating how caffeine and ethanol (as well as nicotine for that matter) are not only legal, but fully integrated into our lives while other much safer substances are entirely sidelined. Can you imagine how far ahead in science we would be if LSD wasn’t haphazardly scheduled and research was allowed to continue?
"We wouldn't recommend drinking one cup a day" - But after that you explain my problem. I feel all of these side effects when drining more than one little cup of coffee. When I drink synthetic caffeine in energy drinks, i have no side effects at all. Maybe I'm intolerant to the oils in the coffee beans, I probably will never know because I'm too lazy to ask a doctor.
Does anyone know if cycling off can be a good middle ground to reaping the benefits yet not being too affected by say exhaustion. I use pre workout once a day l, typically around noon +- 2 hours, but have noticed lately my sleep being a little poor.
I have interesting reactions to caffeinated beverages. It doesn't stop me from sleeping as far as I can tell.
1/4 or greater of a monster could send me into an uncomfortable unfocused jittery state but the same amount of a rockstar or venom or nos doesn't seem to.
Drinking one coffee in the morning absolutely kills my desire to drink any caffeinated beverage including soda. Drinking a soda in the morning makes me crave more soda and I just don't feel the same boost as a coffee.
That's probably the sugar
I dont view myself as a caffeine addict. I sometimes drink caffeine everyday, other times i got full days without it with 0 difference
I would say smart planning of caffeine intake is the best solution to combating its side effects. For example if I have an exam in 4 days I would stop consumption until the day of the exam to maximize its effect.
