@Owl@nicecrew.digital it's the only alternative to coffee i have left redbull gives me a caffeine crash but monster doesn't

Do you recognize how bad energy drinks are for you?

@Owl@nicecrew.digital >Do you recognize how bad energy drinks are for you? yes, mom. look, it's one of those days. i either chug some monster and do stuff while it lasts or i try to fight off the narcolepsy for 16-24+ hours (without being able to focus on what i want to do) and inevitably feel depressed when i realize that wow, i've achieved fucking nothing today and i've wasted yet another day of my life (an increasingly common occurrence) well, there's a third option but the zapper racket is surprisingly not that good at jolting me awake.

@Owl@nicecrew.digital @Xeraser@varishangout.net There's always meth…

After your 2nd one there's a law of diminishing return. It doesn't do much and you're just drinking to drink it. Back in January I quit caffeine again. (I was on like 2 cofes, a monster zero and 2~4 diet mtn dews per work day). No headaches, just fucking terrible leg pain for a week. The other day I had a coke zero at 6pm and couldn't get to sleep until 5am. 😡

@LoliHat@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital no thank you, i have a strict "i'd rather jump from the 10th floor than try hard drugs" policy. ice cold showers, the bug zapper and monster are as far as i'm willing to go when it comes to harming my already cursed body.

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital

@djsumdog@djsumdog.com @Owl@nicecrew.digital >2nd one yeah, no, i don't dare to drink more than a can a day and even then it's still moderately rare for me to drink more than 3 a week. like i've said, it's one of *those* days. it's not *that* bad yet.

@LoliHat@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital that's funny and all but i'd genuinely rather be six feet underground than get addicted to hard drugs just to function. i've seen what that shit does to you.

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital Do you even drink alcohol?

@Owl@nicecrew.digital @Xeraser@varishangout.net sounds like a skill issue tbh

@LoliHat@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital yeah. a shot or two of drambuie might help me fall asleep but it doesn't really help me sleep any longer (or better) so i'm not a heavy drinker.

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital Half a fifth should be enough for a good night's sleep which should allow you to wake up bright and energetic the next day.

@Minty@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital alright we need to talk the boomer monster fucking sucks. like yeah funny meme and all but have you actually tried it? the first cup is okay i guess but the second? tastes like shitty acid reflux medicine, it fucking sucks. who the fuck drinks this unironically?

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @Minty@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital >who the fuck drinks this unironically? People who don't drink coffee and actually want something that can keep them awake?

@LoliHat@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital >ingest nearly 400ml of 40% whiskey just to sleep every day i already had a bone marrow transplant, i don't need a new liver too.

Thank God I didn't just say what I was about to because it was BFP material for sure.

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital That's barely enough to get tipsy.

@LoliHat@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital oh that's very cute

@Owl@nicecrew.digital @Xeraser@varishangout.net >BFP material for sure. "BFP: Big fat positive. This refers to a positive home pregnancy test" https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/bfp-meaning#pregnancy-test

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @Minty@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital Well, when you're out of Red Bull and vodka…

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital I suffer the opposite, Monster reeks havoc on my system while Red Bull goes down smooth

@Owl@nicecrew.digital @LoliHat@varishangout.net go ahead. i triple dare you. don't get me wrong, i'd absolutely try it at least once if i could but my liver's already extra-fried from all the metric tonnes of leukemia meds i had to take. rather not end up in a hospital, y'know?

@LoliHat@varishangout.net @Xeraser@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital try redbull and jagermeister.

@Xeraser@varishangout.net @LoliHat@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital tbh I rarely drink the absolute zero unless it's either on sale or the only option left. My favorites are the mango and I kinda like the watermelon one.

@Minty@varishangout.net @LoliHat@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital oh yeah, the watermelon one is alright the apple one is atrocious though

@Minty@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital @Xeraser@varishangout.net

@LoliHat@varishangout.net @Minty@varishangout.net @Owl@nicecrew.digital complete waste of a perfectly good budget
