12 Signs of an Energy Drink Addict
You know you’re addicted to energy drinks when:
- You dream about owning a glass door mini-fridge, devoted solely to your energy drinks.
- You can grab a can from your fridge, open it, and be half way through it before you realize you’re even drinking it.
- Energyfiend.com is your homepage.
- You have an eagle eye for spotting caffeine content of an energy drink in 5 seconds flat.
- Your state has cheated you out of over $10 by charging bottle deposit fees for drinks that no store will accept returns on.
- All you want is a drink to sip because you’re bored or thirsty, and you choose an energy drink.
- You’re arguing with yourself about how much sleep you need for the next day, and you use energy drinks as a bargaining tool to convince yourself that you can make it the next day on less sleep.
- You consider mixing one in with your milk and cereal.
- You treat new energy drinks like a fine wine, first smelling the drink before you sip a little to wash around your mouth.
- You can no longer try a new energy drink in your home town, because you’ve tried them all.
- You drive outside of your home town in search of new energy drinks.
- You put your unfinished cans in the fridge, and fall in love with yourself the next morning for doing so.

If he didn’t throw up after that, then he deserves a medal. A Java Monster would probably go well with cereal, I’ll have to try it sometime.
I’m picturing Loca Moca with Cocoa Puffs…mmm. But if I’m ever able to find that Captain Spazz’s Buzztroids caffeinated cereal, I won’t have to bother…
Tim, now you have the right idea! Putting an energy drink in your cereal doesn’t have to be a distasteful experience if you plan it out.
…you know you’re addicted to energy drinks when you think up cereals and energy drinks that may actually work together
If you plan on getting a credit card just so you can order them online.
Full Throttle in Froot Loops is pretty darn good.
Once I thought it was a good idea to mix Red Bull and coffee. IT WAS A VERY BAD IDEA. It’s a foul mixture.
You give energy drink advice to strangers in convenience stores.

lol yep! I’ve done that one.
Sometimes if I see a someone in a store going straight for a Red Bull I tell them that there are other, often times better options
“You give energy drink advice to strangers in convenience stores.”
LOL Done it!
btw, if you are going to mix energy drinks with cereal, make sure it’s not your first meal of the day! I did that once with Cocaine Energy Drink, and I paid for it later!
Nos is pretty good if you have it alongside cereal, it’s like having a glass of OJ with a kick!
To add to the list:
You know you’re addicted when people ask if they can pick up your favorite energy drink when they go to the store.
Ya, Ive done the advice one kinda, well I just conversed with a guy about why sugar free rockstar is better than oriinal, and why sugar free is often worse for you. I dont think ANYONE would mix a drink with cereal, but other than that, good list.
You know you’re an addict when all of your alcohol choices include energy drinks, examples. . . vodka and redbull, monster and beer, you have a wine spritzer but the spritzers an energy drink lol.
You know you’re an addict when it’s 11:00 p.m. and all you’re friends are drinking energy drinks to keep themselves awake during a study session and you’ve been drinking them since breakfast and are about to fall asleep.
You know you’re an addict when you chase a monster with a 5hour energy drink lol.
Just wait in a few years people will be going to rehab. for energy drink addiction. lol hahaha.
ok the best is when you go to the beach and forgot your monster in the car and come back and drink it even though its warm and everyone in the car thinks you are disgusting for doing so
I drink at least 20 cans of inked energy drinks/ throw down energy drinks/ black coffey per day. And I’m not joking. I’ve been doing this for about 3 months and that don’t have any affect any more. And I have hart pains now. I get 24 cases for 20 bucks and I have 16 cases in my room. I can prove this send me your email I will send a picture
I wouldend suggest more than 5 a day for any one. But you. Must eat. I don’t eat more than once a day I messes with my head and I like it. The ingredians are
taurine. 1000 mg
d-glucuronolactone. 600mg
caffen. 127mg
niAcin. 20mg
pantothenic. 5mg

I sell them and drink them like crazy. I try to drink away the pain of the fact my girl freind for 8 years cheated on me told me and left me and took my son. To make it worse she is pregnant with this guys kid. I will drink theas to the day I die. My guess is in the next 6 weeks I will be in a hospital or dead from energy drinks. Just so you know. When making ribbs on the BBQ. Or stake. Let the meat some for a bout a 3 houres in any energy drink the meat will fall of the bone and be so dlishes. It won’t tast like a energy drink but it is so dam good iv done this and the whole family loves it.
guilty of #’s 1,2,6,8(haven’t tried it but want to), probably 9 and 11 as well
You begin mixing energy shots into your energy drinks.
You look at the four pack of Monster priced at 6.99 and wish there were more in there.
You start writing lists of favorites according to taste, caffeine content, etc.
2,6,7,8,9,10,12
I have another one, you have replaced fruit juice with an energy drink that happens to have fruit juice in it.
My brother once ate a bowl of HoneyComb with orange juice on it…and he added pepper…wtf…does that count?
