Energy drinks

Agreed, but its the redbull style, all their hats seem to have the ear overhang style happening…looks uncomfortable!

I put a Red Bull in my special needs bag on the bike. It was my 100 mile treat.

I personally drink Water Joe.

Caffeine and water that’s it.

Yes, a direct cause. I will say he certainly was not active and had other health issues. You don’t need a redbull or monster drink whilst sitting on the couch.

It is a style of cap. I always think it makes one look like a 5 year old.

(says me… but my preferred cap style is known as the “dad cap”. Very uncool moniker, but I hear that style’s coming back!. Or I like to think it never went out of style).

One a day, couple of times per week. Shift work.

They used to be called “low profile” in some places, with snap-back/trucker hats being “high profile” I suppose

Rick Rubin had LD Founder & CEO Mike Cessario on his Tetragrammaton podcast, and Cessario made that exact point “if moms want to get their nine year-olds off soda, and the kids want to drink Liquid Death WATER, because it looks dangerous, everybody wins”

I’ve just skimmed this thread, but I didn’t see a reference to what seems to me to be the most worrying potential risk of excess consumption of energy drinks - the contribution to vitamin B (especially B6) toxicity.

Doctors in Oz are reporting a mini epidemic of peripheral neuropathy caused by excessive intake of vitamin B6, which in turn results from its addition to a number of health/lifestyle supplements including energy drinks.

The most concerning part is that once the nerve damage has been caused by the violently named gym-bro-drinks and gym-bro-supplements it is largely irreversible. A lifetime of numbness, burning sensation, weakness and loss of reflexes is not the outcome promised in the promotional material.
