You’ve most likely felt the AMAZING effects of caffeine at some point in your life, perhaps after drinking a cup of coffee or downing an energy drink. In fact, I’d bet that the majority of you consume caffeine on a daily basis, and I don’t blame you.
When I first discovered caffeine I thought I had gained a new superpower - a cup of coffee in the morning and I was suddenly a whole new person, I was suddenly excited for life, and strangely much more interested in work and school.
And as my consumption of coffee slipped into the weekends, I discovered it's use as a tool for gaming performance. A cup of coffee in the morning, while playing League of Legends and I became more thoughtful, and strategic. And when playing FPS games, my reaction time was slightly more enhanced allowing me to win more 1v1s then I normally would.
But eventually, my love for caffeine, lead me to energy drinks. Their flashy ads showed me extreme athletes and professional gamers using their products. So I assumed that it would improve my performance too. Plus it’s hard to go wrong when caffeine is involved.
As I began to experiment I became disappointed. Energy drinks seemed to be great at first, they would bring up, make me feel great, then 60 minutes later they would tear me down again and make me perform even worse then I would without them.
At this point, I was desperate to find some answers. I wanted to know why I had this experience with energy drinks, and how I could actually use them to improve my gaming performance.
So in order to satisfy my curiosity, I started to do a little research… and after a bit of denial, I realized the harsh truth. I realized that underlying all the flashy marketing and the affiliation with pro gamers, was a dark truth, one that needed to be revealed...

The best Energy drink for improvin is ... water in my opinion. Mostly the energy drinks just make you feel better and faster, because you think they do it. I guess if you tell someone that water is boosting you the same way, and he believes it, he might get to the same result maybe a bit less effective. Great Work on that Video! Keep it up!
Have you ever tried it im a pretty low energy person but drank some rockstar that crap got me wired was super focused and full of energy
placebo effect have nothing to do with it. so caffeine wakes your body only 2-3 hours and than side effects comes in
Incorrect but ok.
The best energy drink is his I guess. eDrink
Jonardt so your saying it’s a placebo
I'm alright with just a good cup of coffee, without sugar it's a lot more healthy then energy drinks.
Right and thank u
I drink green tea
@@mehmesayed4234 Damn you are cool
The reason you say that is because you only drink the sugar versions if you drink diet versions then you would actually be intaking health things like vitamin b6 vitamin a1 a2 and to the fact where if you drink a high dosage of anything including water fruits and other healthy things we would get poisoned and you would need to down over 50 cans of energy drinks per day for it to be majorly unhealthy
@@glazglo4901 I don't drink energy drinks at all, and yes to much of anything is bad. Also I had the taste of those artificial sweeteners. I just keep it to black coffee.
Completely mind-blown! I've never considered how much the food and drinks I consume can effect how quickly I can improve my skills. You have no idea how much this video is about to improve my gaming performance...
Good health always makes you better...unless you want to be better at getting sick.
"Sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine."
The war on drugs is pure hypocrisy.
Haha
Then why do I like coke more then sugar
@@vvREC0Nvv because you consume sugar in all your foods so you're not starved from it
@@aceslayer.9279 Well the body needs Carbohydrates to stay alive. Cant really say the same about Cocaine.
@@DestroyNations carbohydrates and sugar aren't the same thing lol. Your body only needs about 200g of carbs a day while it needs only 65g of sugar.
its ok in moderation to help you get focused, until you drink 500ml of redbull in 2 minutes and start shaking to the point where you cant aim at all.
u know what man. ur vids are awesome and im glad ur out here helping people extend their gaming experience. legit u deserve more subs
this channel is going to blow up, insane quality on the videos, glad you ever decided to start doing this :)
10:04 wow that desk gives me pain just by looking at it
Alright, this has convinced me. Time to make the change from monster to coffee. I can stay under 20g with coffee ezpz
20g per day.. don't forget most foods nowdays contain sugar aswell.. so it's not ezpz, if you look nutritions of most foods...
@@tomoulis7248 Yeah, its actually pretty annoying. When I go into a store of something 95% of the products are packed with insane amounts of unnecessary sugar, fat and etc. And its like "Is that much sugar really necessary?". Which makes me speculate that if they're trying to make their products more addictive. And most of them probably are. I don't know one single food that is related to the unhealthy category of sides that actually seemingly has a low and necessary amount of sugar. Which is why I even stay away from them even more :/.
Why do people need to consume unhealthy stuff while playing games? I just keep a bottle of water and I drink whenever I die and I feel well more concentrated for longer, as well as I don't tilt at all. And I do drink caffeine regularly but not on energy drinks. I don't remember the last time I drank an energy drink
I feel like cafine doesnt affect me, so I usually drink energydrinks as a soda.
they're still pretty unhealthy
good thing i exercise then
Fido300 dude it doesn’t matter if you exercise energy drinks and caffeine still will mess with your body you shouldn’t drink a lot of them
Fido300 I know right, I have the same situation!! No matter how much coffee or anything with caffeine, it doesnt effect me At all..drink coffee everyday and only sometimes energy drinks
Juice is best.
I'm diabetic so I only drink the "sugar free" versions of energy drinks. Curious if the crashes you're experiencing are solely from the sugar or if the sugar substitutes function the same way.
They lower your brain and body oxygen levels
I want more videos!!!! Like daily
Frankillz if u think this kind of vids take 1 day to make... think again XD, shit takes long, i used to make games reviews and it takes a LOT of time to come out with a real in depth review, and this kind of vids needs the same amount of work, i'd say 1 week+ for a video like this :D
Time to stop drinking Soda I guess...
i know right
In case you didn't know, artificial sweeteners like the ones n zero sugar energy drinks may not have the sugar or the calories, but they trigger the same insulin response. It is actually said that artificial sweeteners release more insulin than sugar because per mg they are many times stronger than sugar.
So what you're saying is that zero sugar sodas are worse for my health than normal soda?
I’m confused is the enemy sugar or caffeine in energy drinks?
I thought I was the only one who felt the energy drink hangover it's horrible I feel so jittery and start twitching and my heart beats super fast.
So this is a video about pretty much JUST sugar. Obviously energy drinks are loaded with them, but what about energy drinks that don't have any added sugar in them, the taste comes from fruits. So it's caffeine that gives you that effect, not caffeine and sugar. The types of drinks I'm talking about aren't even sold in your local supermarket.
Yes, but it's not added in. It's "natural" sugar
Definitely better for you bro

thanks for teaching me all of this before i started to drink this stuff at my 18 years, i sure will keep this in mind for the rest of my gaming career
(even tho this message was 11 months ago and im writing this now XD)
I use to drink energy drinks so much that i could drink go to bed and sleep normaly which is unhealty. It almost led to a heart attack at 17. I am a health teen and i was befor then. So just by watching this video i understand fully why i was adicted almost to my death.
Wow. Well, if I ever drink energy drinks, I will be careful.
How many were you drinking in a day?
I LOVE this videos why do they get so low visits though? PLEASE NEVER STOP UPLOADING, YOU'RE SO AWESOME
You deserve much more subs! Subscribed!
time to chug down my last bottle of dr pepper
Dr pepper is nothing compared to redbull it feels so good for like 4 hours then you feel just a little sick
Gotta say, the research you put into your videos is absolutely outstanding! Keep up the good work!
Keep up the great work bro. Seen all your videos up to date now and they're all so amazing and helping me understand things I never understood before.
Honestly, I truly hope he goes over G-Fuel. I always feel great when I use it! I never have any crashes and never have any issues as I program as well as gaming. Please let me know if G-Fuel is bad for me lol, I already quit soda and energy drinks I just hope G-Fuel isn't just like them when it comes to hidden damage.
I don't know what's in G-Fuel but if the sugar content is high then it'll basically do the same as any other drink
@@BOXXYwhat 0 sugar in gfuel pretty sure
BOXXY what GFUEL has zero sugar but has lystine witch is a bit bad for you just drink coffee or tea if you need a caffeine boost
I had my first energy drink yesterday and today I didn't have motivation I didn't know why. But it's hard to think sugar has this effect.
Basically what apart of this video said is.
-Consume NO MORE than 20g of Sugar for Performance! (Idk about you, but I feel like 20g is too much... Still)
-Stick to Carbonated/Sugar Free Drinks?
cant wait for part 2
I was totally greater at gaming with out sugar now I'm losing motivation confident and focus becuz I consume alote of sugar well then I'll stop
caffeine doesnt affect me. Coffee doesn't do anything for me. energy drinks barely do anything for me. I still drink coffee occasionally, but only for taste.
I tried gfuel, i had like 5 mins of energy but then it wore off. Never got addicted because i never had that energy kick it seems like everyone else has. It kind of sucks in a way but is also awesome because i dont feel the urge to have energy drinks or coffee
Bro rock star thermo is sooo good
As someone who is quitting a 3+ a day addiction thank you for this video!, This is precisely why I began drinking them 7 years ago
Omg dude, this is awesome, i think ive been a victum for years and my mind and memory are worse than ever, now that i have nothing to do in quarantine my high so to speak requires 2 sodas and maybe even more but i limit myself i feel this dip in performance evey night, im gonna cut sugar out this wont be an easy task
Monster Energy Zero Ultra... 0 sugar, only 10 calories per can, this sht boost my AIM at CS GO XD.
Everyone has their go-to drink
What about stuff like gfuel?
It doesnt have sugar, but uses chemicals instead. Same effect?
The only thing I notice with eating a lot of sugar is hard to focus sometimes but I have my motivation is still pretty good but that’s just me
Soo caffeine/sugar or natural energy? Idc what anyone says.. when I switched and only started drinking water I felt so much better and was way faster...
Actually when I was in ga all I drank water and I did well on ww2 but when I moved to Maine I drank coke and I did very bad n I felt very bad...so water is good for you
What you recommendent for boost energy,reflex and performance in pro gaming CSGO FPS games?
Tks for the video! Where is the part two?
wtf? How does this channel only have 6.7k subs? I'm a bit dumbfounded. This content is amazing
I normally have coffee but gfuel just taste so much better. Is Gfuel still as bad for you as monster or Red Bull?
nobodys gonna talk about his keyboard position at 0:50 ?
Ur channel is soo fkn good. Every vid is so vsauce like i lov eit
Loved this video!
Great story, would buy your audiobook.
man you stunned me, thank you for sharing us and I will subscribe you for sure due to your great work
Ill go give more water a try, keeping me hydrated and always consentrated while gaming
Thank you for the video I learned something new before going back to school
Does salt affect gaming? im being serious here, like im from india and our country is known for spices. There for we use more salt but i use more salt than my family members! It will be great if you can explain it
Swagheel Gaming can't see how it would, stay hydrated
Salt can help with staying hydrated so in small amounts can positively affect your skill
I just drink one red bull 250 grams and when I play fortnite my 90's is more better and smoother (ofc) and my aim is like godly I'm like I can run 50 kilometers and another day I'm still a sweat till 3 days when my energy is now gone my aim is even more bad now I'm kinda scared that my aim will be badder if I drink more
your story Legit relatable
for real
Sry my brain has been drained by the energy drinks referenced above.. Can someone pls let me know if the part two for this ever arrived (regarding sugar free)- and whether or not anything was mentioned abt G Fuel or similar beverages?
Liking the tune near the end of the video, no idea what it is +_+
3ranks in 2 weeks I max my rank in one this must be crap cause I hold a 40 hr a week job a girlfriend and take care of my grandpa I reached gen 2 in tf2 in 2 days u just need to make the best of your time and find what works
I do make tea n coffee without sugar it's great.
I think hot chocolate is also good
Started drinking no caffine nau and it is great
Energy drinks are now part of my schools drug ed program
Wow really
Rip
Ya never made a part 2 did ya ?
Not talking about liver and kidney tissue destruction
Nah you don't need and energy drink or coffee man just get good sleep stay hydrated with water and get a good breakfast and youl become pro and also keep a learning mindset
Great vid, you deserve more Subs!
idk i drank watered down gfuel ONLY when i practice, now i either just have a small cup of coffee or WATER. I probably drink more water than my whole family
Super underrated
As far as I know "sugar-free" can be a product that contains stavia sugar
*This video need millions of views*
I... I am lucky to not frequently consume energy drinks. But I have more than 5 energy drinks to finish.
I only drink energy drinks without sugar like Gfuel so you get more focus without the sugar crash
Coconut water works best for me.
Great vid!
7:38 luckily my body cant make insulin
I drank coffee after that my hands felt heavy thus making my aiming skills suck
I dropped monster, Red Bull, etc for GFUEL.
JediJonPlays your body gets used to gfuel/caffein and at some point its useless to drink them. Unless you drink gfuel only on weekends and do breaks.
Edy I drink it when I need it. It’s not an everyday consumption for me. But I don’t get crashes with gruel and been drinking for a few years now. And store bought like monster for example I crash hard in like 1hr and feel like I just had a thanksgiving turkey meal.
If i try to eat as little sugar as possible (except for the nessecary 30g), could it repair damage that has already been done? I feel like I have some light simptoms from the study at 9:20
Well, some people tried to power sugar consumption, but I'm no professional, and I never tried that.
so is coffee better than these energy drinks with less sugar??
Of course, coffee is mostly natural
What about zero sugar drinks
this is exactly correct i feel all the stuff you explained i hate it
Dude you are amazing!
Who told drink full can of energy drink sip it little
I AM OVER HERE DRINKING MOUNTAIN DEW! AND YOURE SAYING THIS CAN MAKE ME MENTAL
Tnx
I need to start drinking coffe now I don't like the way energy drinks make me feel afterwards
Poor rats...
Suriya poor dead animals on the plates of humans
We the dominant species so we gonna test on others
atleast they gave free cocaine
Do people really think "sugar free" drinks contains no sugar ??? You're living in a good and peaceful dream
chocolate milk is my fav
when I drank redbull my HS% were on their peak
Water&exercise
That's why tea is addictive in my country lots of mf sugar on those fecking tea stalls.🙃
I think caffeine is a huge boost for my performance, but I never go past a nice mug of tea.
U should try Gfuel
Well, Gamer Supps says they have no sugar and just caffeine, so maybe I’ll try that instead.
1:20 that dude littered :/
bro ofc I consume caffeine daily. I'm finnish, I consume a shit ton of caffeine daily...
Once upon a time there was a magical thing called sugar free energy drinks 😂😂
Cancer or Diabetes, you choose.
@@krackzthegamer7751 BOTH 🤤
I drank Red Bull once. I got drunk.... Either that or I just rage too much on a normal basis.
so this is the reason.... im having all side effects of sugar...
You can sell yourself so nicely, why so little subs?
