I was made fun of, for a long time

by youse people and my friends. I was a Monster Energy drink, drinker. I was ashamed.
About 6 months ago, I switched Zevia Kola. Totally better tast and about 1/24th the ingredients. At least I can say everything listed.
I have also been enjoying Zero Sugar Coke Energy. They are really really good, but back to a lot of crazy ingredients.
Anyway, I have kicked Monster and it actually tastes disgusting to me. I also feel like my innards are happier too.

I probably have 3 or 4 energy drinks a year.

Either a hangover so bad that I can't shake it with Goody's Powders and coffee, or for a late game drive back to RH from Clemson. The boost lasts long enough to get home and the crash comes just after pulling in the driveway, so it works perfectly for that length drive. Actually, in the last couple of years I might be down to more like 2 a year. I'm far better at maintenance drinking now than I used to be, so hangovers are almost non-existent these days.

APM's energy drink of choice is Rockstar Pure Zero Mandarin Orange. Hard to find but good and keeps you krunked up.

Just curious, not judging, but what do people get out of

those, that they don't get from say, coffee?
I've had a few monster drinks over the years, and to me they tasted terrible, and didn't give the energy boost I was expecting.
To be fair, I like two or so cups of coffee in the morning, but if I don't have it, it doesn't really bother me. I have enough energy without it, to function at least.
Just always wondered if I was in the minority that never seemed to get that jolt of energy from those type of things.

difference though, than if you don't drink them? I guess that was my question, because for me they don't really do anything.

observation, as I know nothing about these energy drinks....

Generations of people for thousands of years achieved proper energy and motivation to live their lives before the invention of these drinks, 5-hour shots, etc. How much energy does someone need to stare at their phone for 16 hours a day? So why are they necessary?
Pro tip: they aren't. Psychosomatic. You're not tired, you're just not properly motivated. One of the great gimmicks of all time.
