Old School v. New School

I've noticed that a lot of the newer generation, I'm talking 25 and under, prefer energy drinks to coffee; where as most individuals older than that lean towards coffee for their energy fix.


Personally, I'm a preworkout at 4am, black coffee with two shots of espresso around 8am to start the day and then another cup every 3-4 hours kind of guy.


Which is your poison and why?

Caffeinated

As an alternative: Yerba Mate tea. Works great, less jitters - can control how much caffeine you want. I was super skeptical at first (Huge coffee drinker, all my reps were drinking BANGS and i wanted nothing to do with that) ... but i gave it a shot, and its just the afternoon energy I need

I like coffee, I have coffee plantation, but even before that, I always left energy drinks where soo bad for your health, coffee isn’t great in big amounts either, but I was always scared of energy drinks for some reason.

Adderall. No caffeine. Benzos at night. Repeat. I’m also old.

I have such a love-hate relationship with caffeine! I absolutely need coffee in the morning to wake up, one before work and one when I get there. Any more than that, I won’t be able to sleep that night. But usually I need a little pick me up cup in the afternoon, so I sacrifice an early bedtime. And the cycle continues!

I learned my lesson taking preworkout in the afternoons for gym (hence the 4am wakeup).  If I take that stuff past 3pm, I'm up until 2am and then don't sleep well anyways.  Coffee though, I can drink right up until I go to bed and be fine.

Yeah I love morning preworkout before the gym, but now I just run at night so I don’t take it. I’ve never been a fan of energy drinks. I’ve never tried one that I can stand the taste of! Not to mention I feel like all the chemicals will melt my insides

Love coffee, however I've dabbled with an energy drink (Guru for one example) from time to time when I need an afternoon kick.

Usually an espresso drink in the morning to kick start the day (or iced coffee if I've slept well), a coffee midmorning and then a tea mid afternoon so I can finish out the day and still sleep at night.

Bialetti Moka espresso in the winter months, cold brew on tap in the kegerator during the summer.  Local roaster for the beans.

It’s as much the ritual as the caffeine… grind my own beans, make the cold brew with the kids, etc. 

Wow, I sound like a snob.

Sugar free redbull if the day is an asshole.

6oz of Cold Brew in my protein shake in the morning and I'm golden all day.
