Should mention that I drink only no sugar drinks, so it can’t be that, and a single can of what I have is usually no more than 200MG of caffeine
Edit: Appreciate your responses. Thank you for the explanations and insights

So I don’t do energy drinks, never really touched them since they started, heard all sorts of crazy rumors and “my cousins brother” shit and just never bothered.
What is in them that is so bad? A lot of what I’m seeing in the thread are things that you’d take as supplements or want in your food/drink etc. Is it just the sheer amount of it? Or something specific, I hear a lot about heart problems, kidney stones and circulatory system issues, but not the why of it

Since it’s only been lightly mentioned
The mega doses of b vitamins, taurine (I add this one to my morning coffee now), carnitine, etc etc add to it
A lot of energy drinks have an “energy blend” section on it that gives each stimulating ingredient

Niacin!! It causes a flush feeling. Combined with caffeine it gives a mental association of that being the same as the caffeine.
