    Yes, but only coffee and only in the morning.

    If you're depending on energy drinks to feel energetic, you might want to re-evaluate your food intake and make sure your macros (carbs, fat, protein) are in reasonable balance.

    i was addicted to full throttle for a long time.. i drank them everyday for a few years. i had to ween myself off. every once in awhile i will have a sugar free redbull just to satisfy my caffiene craving. or diet mountain dew.

    Probably.
    I have to drink crazy amounts of liquid for medical reasons and I find soda the most palatable.

    Just coffee, but lots of it. 4 or more cups a day.
    maybe a coke once a week.
    NEVER energy drinks, as they are worse then coke on the teeth.

    COFFEE. Caffeine is actually good for you, based on the real scientific evidence.

    I drink a 5 hour energy about 2-3x a week, and drink 4-8 cups of coffee a day (tully's espresso). I also drink a minimum of a gallon of water everyday, so no guilt here.

    HAHA! This! Minus the smoking thing b/c I've never smoked. But I agree- I love everything about soda. My addiction is Diet Sun Drop...I love the caffeine, the carbonation, everything! hahaha!

    I used to be.
    Several cups of coffee in the am, iced coffee with lunch, monster drinks and soda at home. every single thing I drank had acaffine in it. But I didn't like wasting so many calories on liquids and I didnt like the chemicals they put in the diet stuff. So I uit. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I felt sick, had a temper and a killer headache for over a week. but now I can enjoy maybe 1 a day, get that iced coffee kick in the am, and fill the rest of my day with water and feel great.

    I love coffee or tea! but no soda or energy drinks. I used to drink like 6 diet cokes a day which replaced like 6 regular cokes a day. Horrible for me. I finally switched to mainly coffee and water during the day. It takes me about 9 hours to drink half a pot because I alternate water and coffee while drinking at my desk. Iced tea is usually a treat while eating out.

    I am a Diet Pepsi/ Coke girl! Just a month ago I was drinking 3-4 cans a day. Poured over ice with a squeeze of lemon....YUMMY!

    My skin was getting really bad though and I felt gross. I realized that there were some days where I was not drinking water- AT ALL!!! No wonder I was looking so bad.

    I have since tried to drink at least 8 cups of water a day. I know I should be drinking more but baby steps, right? The last few weeks I have had only one can of soda with lunch. Maybe two of the days I have cracked open another can. I am not trying to wean myself completely off, just drink less of it.
