Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

So I love the taste of energy drinks, but I hate the caffeine since it doesn't let me sleep when i drink it with dinner is there a drink that can accomplish my goal or is the taste in the caffeine?
EDIT: I figured it out so i you add water saffron rock candy and sugar add some sparkling water with lemon flavor then mix I haven't figured out how to make it as sour tho, but it's close in my opinion if you get the amounts right, but energy drinks have that artificial flavor so I can never make it truly the same

Maybe try aspartame instead of sugar?

[–] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Try 4loko gold. Tastes like a energy drink but they were forced to take out the caffeine.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Caffeine is bitter. That's why they mask it with sweet flavors in soda. Just drink it during the day as a treat occasionally and have water (or something else) with dinner?

caffeine free coke seems like the easiest solution.

However, what I'd recommend is taking a handful of ice cubes, placing them in a glass of plain water, and then drinking that instead.

Caffeine, like many other things, is harmful only in excessive amounts. If you drink some just for the flavour it shouldn't be a problem.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

i mean the whole point of energy drinks is that they have a stupid amount of caffeine

I'm not sure if it's what you are looking for but I know that some energy drink manufactures offer their flavors in the form of hydration drinks.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Xixo make some like that

edit: I remember their tutti fruity ones, got that generic energy drink flavor

[–] dhhyfddehhfyy4673@fedia.io 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes; energy drinks without caffeine.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Other things give you energy...

i want monster unleaded to come back so bad💔💔

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 0 points 19 hours ago

Decaf coffee?

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com -2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Caffeine can be annoying but not too harmful. It's the B vitamins you need to be careful around.

I also just want a energy-drink flavoured pop. But mostly I want the old monster assault back so bad...

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Why b vitamins?

We used to tweak on those at the like shop. Zip Fizz.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 2 points 22 hours ago

B6 toxicity can affect cardiovascular health, and a single energy drink can have over 6x the recommended daily dosage.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Can't really go wrong with b vitamins though... being water soluble you'll piss out whatever your body won't absorb, which is the reason for that wonderful neon yellow color.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 1 points 21 hours ago

There's been a rise in cases of B6 toxicity (PDF) resulting in a growing demand for regulation. I also wouldn't be surprised if most of the cardiac issues related to overconsumption of energy drinks was attributable to B6 as well but I'm too lazy to go searching for papers rn.

What does "energy drink" taste like? It's just lemonade (or soda or pop or soft drink or whatever you Anglophones can't agree on to call it) and the taste depends on what's in it.
