I just largely cut sweet drinks, both sugar and artificial, out if my diet nearly 2 decades ago. Problem solved. Never understood why energy drinks were popular anyway - they taste like ass. Black coffee master race.

Seems like a weird statement to say that you cannot understand why someone would like something that you don't like?

It's called having an opinion.

Being unable to understand why people like sugary flavored drinks that keep you awake and contain addictive chemicals and calling it an opinion is like saying "climate change isn't real, that's just my opinion."

I completely understand why people like sugary flavored drinks with addictive chemicals. I just don't understand why they drink the ones that taste like ass.

That opinion is wrong.

I like energy drinks and coffee. It's not really one or the other for me. I also take NoDoz when I don't want any liquid. They don't all taste bad. There's honestly hundreds of different flavours lol.
