I believe, that I have an addiction, I am addicted to energy drinks, I love the taste of it, and I think its the caffeine that will get to me. I drink one or two a day, is that bad? I Just need something to help me focus when Im at work and when I am gaming.

I do apologize to share my problems with everyone, this is embarrassing to me, but I believe y'all should know. What should I do? What keeps you focus? Answer honestly please.

Thank you and God Bless

I had one energy drink and just rationed it over the week of finals. Those things are awesome for keeping you up but really terrible for you. 1-2 a day is probably bad, but i've seen worse addictions to them. Just depends on ones body to know what it will end up doing to you and how much you can handle. If you really wanna quit then just drink soda or coffee instead.

A childhood friend of mine died from them last year. :( but you need to cut back you can focus by drinking things high in antioxidants and things like that. Vitamin water is great energy :)

Yeah I feel ya.
I don't drink alcohol, but I love to socialize and party, so whenever I'd go out with friends to a party, or the bar, I'd be drinking energy drinks alllll night.
They're really bad for you.
I've had insomnia for a bit over a year now, and that's mainly what caused me to stop drinking energy drinks.
But yeah, I just drink water now, a couple litres a day.
Takes a bit to not crave energy drinks, but you'll feel better once you get over them!

If I was you, I wouldn't drink 1-2 a day. Maybe 1-2 a month. That's what I do. It's bad on your heart.

I drink one 8.4 OZ Red Bull a night when I game Reach, but I space it out between about five water bottles. It's probably not too healthy, but it cant be too bad. I am 6 foot 1 inch and 200 lbs. It doesn't make me jittery but it makes me aware and keeps me with good reaction time.

Try using Redline Energy Drinks. Proven to increase reaction time by 7.5%

I'm not sure how popular 5-hour energy shots are in your area, but they're everywhere here in central Kentucky. They're only a few ounces and are supposedly better for you than energy drinks. Energy drinks don't do much for me, so I take these, and I have to say, they work very well.
