Mountain Dew has as much caffeine as Red Bull, at least over here. Dr.Pepper 2/3rd red bull. Coke about 1/3rd. On November 11 2012 18:53 Passion wrote: Seriously? Coffee is like fresh fruit compared to energy drinks. A Red Bull has only a little bit more caffeine than coffee. If you order a large latte, its the same. | ||

If they consume energy drinks in such a huge ammount that it is unhealthy it is their fault and they deserve what they get, I call this natural selection. Of course it is unhealthy if you drink them every day or consume large quantities at once, but you are responsible for yourself so you have to live with the concequences. Energy drinks are not severly mind altering as drugs so there is less danger in hurting other people so I see no reson to regulate them. | ||

EDIT: actually it's far more than triple. Yup this is true. I can buy a 2 liter at my store for 84 cents. An energy drink costs like 1.79 or something (I haven't looked at the price of those in a long time lol). Also lol at banning it till you are 16 to buy an energy drink oh lord lol. | ||

It all depends on what brand you buy. Sure if I go to a store here and buy Red Bull it's the same price or even more expensive then Coca Cola. But there's also the cheap brands that literally cost almost nothing and contains the same stuff as Red Bull. | ||

Yeah, those Euro Shopper cans goes for like 4-5 SEK here while the same size Red Bull cost 20 SEK. Not sure what those big Monster cans goes for here tho. | ||

Of course you can't regulate everything, but it's the same as how blizz is balancing SCII; you've gotta balance some according to the metagame, dawg. If tons of kids are drinking too many energy drinks and fucking with their bodies because they don't know better then they should probably be helped them out somehow, not told "NATURAL SELECTION CYU LATER." That's a pretty callous way to view people. We're talking about kids -- teenagers, not 21 year old jackasses who dropped out of highschool because they couldn't spell "healthy." Also, parents are responsible for their kids. It's certainly true that kids' actions affect them and they have to live with them for the rest of their lives, but parents are also responsible and have a... duty? to look after their kids because KIDS ARE STUPID! They need older people that birthed them who are slightly less stupid to help them survive and learn how to eat properly. | ||

As for my opinion on the issue, if we regulate against the abusers we hurt the reasonable users, and people should be more self-reliant and controlled. | ||

Basically, adrenaline makes your body go on 'overheat', giving you better performance, because it is naturally used when you're in a situation when you might lose your life or are under stress. It should give you that extra edge to survive, and AFAIK it can give you up to approx 30% extra performance (this number might not be correct, but you get the point). The problem is, it is not really healthy to keep your body going on overdrive for too long, as it may hurt it in the long run. | ||
