I used to drink monsters like it was water. All the sudden i became caffeine sensitive. I had to quit coffee, energy drinks and even soda. God i miss the taste of a monster lol

level 7 is just adhd life, caffeine does not affect my brain, i can literally fall asleep halfway through a coffee or an energy drink

Honestly, I think that when you need caffeine to not have headaches is where the caffeine adiction really beggins, aaaand that can beggin at the level 2, with just coffee, it happened to me some years ago, great video ;)

I used to have energy drinks and pre workouts as I consider myself to be quite active, however Its been about 6 month and the only caffiene I have is a cup of coffee in the morning before exercising. I consider that to be a huge improvement :)

I know a guy who does like 5 or 6 white Monster Energy drinks DAILY, some coffee and ALSO caffeine pills. To be fair, bro was doing med school and law school at the same time. I sure hope he sticks around the med school so that they study him to find out how tf his heart managed not to collapse yet.

I feel like half the university was running on energy drinks at one point (to be fair it is a med school). I remember that before an exam, I would drink one red-bull with Jägermeister per night to increase my energy and calm my nerves. In the end I usually passed, at the low price of caffeine dependency and alcoholism

“You won’t be tired if you drink caffeine too close to bedtime.” *laughs in adhd*

I don’t get irritable, just the positive effects wear off and I end up accidentally drinking enough to make me projectile vomit from caffeine poisoning. I’m almost 2 weeks without caffeine and feel great, but noticed my heart still racing sometimes. Good to know that was from stress and not the caffeine.

The caffeine powder is super concentrated too. It is meant to be carefully measured and then dumped into a large batch of liquid so that is heavily diluted. The correct dose for a single beverage would be really small and it would be very easy to put too much in and kill yourself due to a small error in measurement. I looked into buying it to make my own energy drinks but determined it wasn't worth the risk once I found out how concentrated it is.

8:10 when he said 400mg is a lot, I thought about the 4 cans of Celsius I had today

I used to drink enough coffee to be in level seven. Turns out, I may have ADHD, and that's why caffeine actually has the reverse affect on me compared to the average person. That doesn't change the physical affect that much caffeine puts on your system, however, and I was recommended to start drinking decaf since my habit started as a mix of just liking the taste of coffee and working where I could get free coffee all day long. I started to realize coffee directly makes me sleepy, not energized. Though, I'm in the process of properly getting tested for ADHD, so I'll have to see if its correlation or causation. But that's something I straight up have heard from people with ADHD that caffeine affects them completely differently than people without ADHD Update for the almost no one who was wanting a follow up on the "may have ADHD", I was diagnosed!

I’m glad I’m at level 0 and always have been, I’ve just been disgusted by people who say they can’t wake up without coffee, honestly sounds more like an addiction that people get hooked on instead of helping you

I remember a kid at school who only ever drank ghost. I don't think he will make it to 25.

My current record is around 700 mg, that was an experience. 300-400 mg is fun, but 700 just feels scary, but that was a great leg day.

My dad is 71 and he drinks at least 6 cups a day, and he still gets good sleep.

I used to drink like, 4-5 monsters/red bulls a day minimum. After a while I realized how awful that is for your body and now I'm just down to a cup of coffee in the morning. Lessening the amount of caffeine has really helped my general energy levels.

For me, it was 3-4 NOS energy drinks and 2-3 caffiene pills 200mg each. Per day. Just so I could play FPS at a competitive level. I was 20 years old having heart problems. Arrhythmia and palpitations every single night. I stopped drinking all forms of caffiene for about a year. Now I'm back drinking 2-3 16oz energy drinks a day. I don't even drink them for the caffiene. I just like how they taste.

Level 7 here, 200mg to start the day and 200mg more in the form of preworkout to keep pace after work. I sleep 8 hours a night without issue, and my only notable signs of addiction is the withdrawal headaches after 24 hours of no caffeine consumption. I've been regularly known to drink a cup of coffee and take a nap within 30 minutes.

The fact that The G-fuel canister says "Zero Sugar" While containing an overdosing amount of Caffeine Is Wild Edit: Y'all chill out and take a joke😭 + I was talking abt the 300 one and not the 140 one

Former trucker here(ran during the unrestricted time during the vid) when we were running the "essential" loads it was like 3-4gfuel's a night and the runs were over a thousand miles every time. Drinking all that caffeine and just sitting in a seat driving.😅

I personally enjoy energy drinks and coffee quite often. I have quite a good caffeine tolerance and I dont feel the effects of caffeine typically unless I consumed it at night. Staying away from the energy drinks is a good idea, i just like to have some before intense workouts

Levels of caffeine chain

I am someone who used to suffer horribly from caffeine abuse, and I can confirm, it is so much better to not be the “I’m not addicted kid”.

I'm a level 8 with level 0 energy. Thanks ADHD. Seriously, though, 400mg morning asd bedtime, plus lots of caffeinated beverages throughout the day. It helps me focus and get good sleep.

I remember seeing some of my classmates going to school with energy drinks. THIS is one of the reasons why I don't drink caffeine. Edit: except coke, but I don't drink it as much, I prefer water over this, also thanks for the amount of likes, I appreciate it

Interesting how coffee in the USA makes you more energetic. I never felt that when drinking coffee here in Brazil. Great video, by the way.

Idk what level this would be but there’s addiction to the taste, mostly with energy drinks (ex: Ghost bubblicious or strawbango). Even with specialty coffee, those amazing light roast notes are just delicious. Added benefit is the jolt you get from them. I measure addiction in people by how likely they’d drink dirt Dunkin’ donuts, Keurig or wending machine coffee if nothing else is offered.

A few months ago I quit drinking coffee after about 10 years. Coming off of it was so hard. I decided a couple days ago after all this time, hey maybe I can have a 1 cup. I was bouncing off the walls the whole morning, talking in speed mode. Then I felt like I was dying the whole next day. Good on you Duck staying away from the stuff as best you can.

Caffeine are dangerous. Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

I have ADHD and drink a Monster a day because if I didn’t I’d be annoying as hell. People don’t understand ADHD makes caffeine have the opposite effect and I’ve confused the hell out of people when I’ve chugged my Monster and then fell asleep, it’s very funny.

Had to step back and reconsider my caffeine addiction/dependency one day after suffering from a nasty anxiety attack. Face was burning, heart racing, almost collapsed from how bad my anxiety got. 3 Celsius Energy per day, coffee in the morning, 800 mg of caffeine daily. Went cold turkey for a week, my body did NOT like the sudden caffeine withdrawal. Now I just drink coffee and one Celsius is enough, no more anxiety either.

I have a specific type of ADHD where caffeine doesn't give me much energy. Once, I chugged a Monster so I could stay up late, I was face-down on my pillow within an hour.

I do drink energy drinks, but I can't say I'm overdoing it. I drink a monster can about one per 2 months, and usually I share it with my friends. But I have friends that drink 3 redbulls per day and I still cannot believe how the hell they are still alive after that.

You can take caffeine + l theanine to offset jitter and anxiety effects. Also, some people are fast metabolizers so caffeine doesn't affect them the same way, personally i never had the jitters, only mental acuity

No officer, it's not cocaine it's Caffeine power

My grandma is so sensitive to caffeine if you drink the tea in the morning she will not sleep at night it’s bad and also love your content❤

In Bosnia we drink coffee in about 8:00 am then one after breakfast in about 10:00 AM, then one at noon, after that one last at night so a total of 4 cups a day. But it isnt a big ass cup but some small ones from Ottoman times and its a part of the culture, so yeah.

0:45 I wish I was like that but when I eat chocolate that had caffeine I got headaches because caffeine gave me headaches

I'm at level 3.5. I have like 3 energy drinks a month, but they can only be 160mg of caffeine and maybe 200mg if I'm really feeling sluggish. The first time I tried Bang (300mg) , I thought I was gonna die. It felt like an IV drip of heroin going right in me. I once overheard this girl in homeroom say she gets 5 hours of sleep a night and has 3 monsters per day and I was like What Da Hellllll??

when i told my psychologist i cannot wake myself up with caffeine and i feel sleepy after drinking a monster or something, she said "yeah that's common in ADHD, try drinking Melisa to wake up" I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDON MELISA? THE THING PEOPLE DRINK TO FALL ASLEEP? IT WILL WAKE ME UP? and then it did

Ive been drinking at least 300mg of caffeine every day now for years mostly from bang energy drinks. Im actually in really good health but of course it is not as good as not drinking caffeine. It effects everyone differently, I miss being sensitive to it but it never made me feel cracked out. It just made me feel like a normal human being who could function and focus for once.

I can say that I was addicted to caffeine. My groupmates in uni are so used to seeing me with an energy drink that they get concerned when im NOT drinking it. I'm a linguistics major in my senior year and I have to study A LOT. During my sophmore year I was also working night shifts while living 2h away from the city. It was hell of a ride tbh. I was drinking energy drinks like water, my hands were shaky ALL the time and they are still not very stable even though i havent been drinking caffeine for a few months now. Be safe, guys! Dont mess with caffeine.

I used to drink energy drinks normally and like juice because they had low calories and I never really noticed I was addicted to it I’d just wake up for school and looked foward to getting a 300mg energy drink from 7/11 I’d average a 400-800 mg caffeine one day I drank 1000 mg and that was the day I realized I might have drank to much and ever since then I got anxiety

In college, caffeine was lifeblood, but both my GP and my psych counselor (individually) said to back it down. 😬 Dont underestimate how caffeine can f*ck you up.

I had an arrhythmic event plus hypoglycemia once after drinking enough coffee with little food or water. I legitimately though I was having a heart attack and got close to blacking out. It was so intense that I was too afraid to drink anything with caffeine for a long time, and yet I still had a strong desire for it. I eventually started drinking coffee again, but I am a LOT less dependent than I was before. I can't even imagine downing g-fuel like that now. It sounds awful.

when he said 400mg of caffeine I got worried bc I'm a stim junkie and I love high stim pre workout... so I used to average like 700-800 mg on a normal day

I used to work as a cook in a cafe and they let us drink as many Celsius as we wanted they were 200mg each. I used to drink 2 a shift and I thought I was bad but some of my co workers would drink like 5 when they worked doubles.

The Duck always posts bangers

Personally reccommend staying under 100mg of caffeine in a day and try to make it every other day at most to minimize the effect of the crash if you even have one, but please do not rely entirely on caffeine, nothing beats a good nights 8-9 hours of rest.

As a person who rarely consumes caffeine, it doesn't increase nor decrease my energy.

"Heat caffeine addiction" -The Duck 2023

I used to be so caffeine addicted in school that if I missed my pick me ups, I would fall asleep without realizing. Like my head would just hit my notebook in the middle of writing a sentence. Wild.

even at my worst, I think it's safe to say I've never gone farther than level four. I've had tolerances and dependencies, but never anything extreme.

Dude I used to make a water bottle full of the strongest coffee I could find. And found out I was consuming up to 4,000 mg of caffeine😅 I literally could have died if I kept doing it.

When I was 8 years old for whatever reason I made the conscious decision to not ever get dependent on caffeine, and I am so grateful that I did that as I see the people around me just turning into caffeine zombies pounding 3 monsters a day.

One time a drank so much caffine that I was so energized and shaking that I had to go to the hospital and the rocket ship lookin ahh I forgot what it’s called but it’s like a thing that looks at your bones but man I could barely sleep at all and not even stay in there I need to stop my addiction seriously so thanks for making this video for me to look at it

i once accidentally drank 3 Celsiuses (total of 600MG of caffeine ) in the span of 3 hours and is was not good i could hear my heart beat, and was shaking uncontrollably

As a former caffeine addict, I can confirm this is 100% correct.

5:45 that’s actually fire bro wdym

Fun fact: pure caffeine when snorted is more potent than cocaine by weight. (Not as euphoric though....)

Literally never felt anything after drinking energy drinks.

Once it was like 4 am in the morning and I had three bangs and still fell right to sleep. Since 1 bang is 300mg of caffeine and I had three, that means i had 900mg of caffeine in one sitting and still managed to sleep not even an hour later. Obviously don't do this. It must have taken months off my life.

I take my adhd meds in the morning as my “cup of coffee” and then when I get to school I just drink 1-2 energy drinks I have such a high tolerance and that I still feel sleepy with 30mg of add meds and 200mg of caffeine.

Bro when i was in year 7 i got kind of hooked on redbull but now im all good because i realised ages ago that it fcked up my sleeping schedule 💀

I’m still 16, but I’m still at level 2, and I refuse to drink coffee, I just don’t want to get stuck relying on caffeine.

I've had a G-Fuel Cherry Lollipop drink recently. It was 140 mg for a 16-oz can. Either it's a thing some flavors are doing, or G-Fuel is actually stepping back.

My friend used to drink energy drinks every day but he passed away from heart attack at age 28. It may not have been the cause, but considering I don't know how much he drank other than he always had one when I saw him, I would say it was probably the cause. Kinda crazy how anyone of any age can just buy them at the store and there is no limit.

Duck out here with another BANGER 🔥🔥

This was funny as hell.. seriously if you ever work in the IT field with people then you know that 5 cups of coffee is just breakfast and no my heart rate is just fine with how much I drink. Also for some better flavor energy drinks, Bang and Reign has some great combo’s

I was a 911 dispatcher and we combined services with a busier city. When I was training to dispatch for them I was drinking my MIO water flavorings and after every shift I noticed I was having heart palpitations and shaking a lot. I thought it was from the newfound stress, but it turns out I was drinking 500 MG of caffeine in 8 hours, combined with my two morning cups of coffee haha

When I was active duty, there was this stuff called Rip Fuel. The US Army banned it in 2002 because of the caffeine content of it. If I remember right, it had 325mg per tablet. If you watch Generation Kill, Cpl. Person (his real name) takes a handful of the stuff (he actually did) to which his sergeant said "Stop taking that shit. You don't shut up when you're tweaking on that shit." He later described what it felt like to have ~1,500mg of caffeine coursing through his veins and it wasn't good. He has serious health issues now because of it. If you have a family history of heart problems, DO NOT consume more than the CDC recommended limit. You might just set off a cascade effect in your heart that leads to you dropping dead with that cup of whatever in your hand.

legendary video bro. you never dissapoint 💯💯

Worst i ever got was level 3 when i worked at Starbucks and in wrestling would chug like four 5 hour energys before each match.

The duck is speaking straight facts😂😂😂

I am so severely addicted to caffeine; I work 2 jobs, so I work from 5:45 am-8pm most weekdays. I workout before job 1, so I wake up around 2:45 to get to the gym and lift from 3:30-4:30. Caffeine intake is preworkout (100-200mg) at 3:00am, an energy drink before job 1 (200mg), an energy drink entering job 1 (200mg) and another halfway through job 1 (150mg). Sometimes, I'll have another 100-200 drink before job 2. I have been doing this for a few weeks now and I have to utilize the weekend to reset sleep and adrenals so hard. Not to mention constantly zyning throughout the day... Past level 7, I prestiged caffeine addiction.

My mom drinks 3-5 cups of coffee a day. Recently I was getting my free Starbucks drink at like 8 (I got their tea which is caffeine free) and she wanted a coffee. The latest I’ve seen her drink coffee is 9:30. But gets so mad when I tell her that’s so bad. I’ve just given up😃👍

A few days ago I bought caffeine tabs of 200mg each to help me wake up in the morning and study, cause I hate coffee. The first day I took one of them, but it gave me terrible anxiety so I didn't repeat it until today because, for some reason, I had only been able to sleep from 6:00 to 7:30. After waking up feeling like trash, I decided to take 2 pills, 400mg in total, and it was the most euphoric experience I had in my life. I kept running, doing pushups and jumping like a mad tweaker for three hours straight. Definitely an experience of my life. I thought for a second I had taken meth because I couldn't think coffee could make me this euphoric.

Caffeine Chain ⬇⬇⬇

My older brother that Games on his computer once consumed a whole colossal amount of caffeine up to 900 milligrams...he had like 3 energy drinks in that day and a couple of (caffinated) sodas😳 he barely got sick, and could sleep just fine right after But my azz gets sick with anything starting to reach the range around 70 - 100 miligrams😶‍🌫️☠️

@6:00 we need full song!!

Duck makes amazing videos also caffeine chain :D

I have diagnosed Adhd and I can confirm that Caffeine does indeed block the adoseine receptors from binding which does indeed energize me and does indeed cause me to loose sleep.

Yeah as someone whose usually at about 5-6 you definitely build a tolerance for caffeine after a while, even a single red bull for me these days has little effect if any. Definitely delved in level 7 a bit too as a teen, it took my friends telling me they'd ditch me if I didn't stop. But people who buy straight up caffeine powder is just crazy, like sure it probably ends up way cheaper, but it should definitely be regulated, no one should be able to buy a pound let alone 50 without having a legitimate reason.

I almost got into energy drinks, until I chugged half a venom and had the shakes and chest pain so brutal that I got sent home from school.

The problem with people's relationship with Caffeine is that they assume "More Caffeine = More Awake/Alert/Focused" Caffeine cant replace sleep which makes you awake and focused. It's only is small amounts can act as a stimulant and overdosing backfires.

The mechanism of addiction doesn't work with caffeine. You only get what is called caffeine reliance since it directly assists blood flow. HOWEVER sugar is among the more addictive substances and is more often the actual addiction people hooked on caffeine seek. There is also the other part where those with adhd use caffeine to self medicate.

In college, my roommate had one of those tubs of caffeine powder. Long story short he ended up making a caffeine drink for me so we could stay up and party longer. I have no idea how much actual caffeine was in that drink, but it was like a whole damn spoonful. I was physically shaking uncontrollably, felt like my heart was about to explode and beating super irregularly, I vomitted which was probably a good thing, did not sleep for another 36hrs. My urine was so unbelievably dark yellow I thought for sure I was pissing blood. Basically the only caffeine overdose symptom remaining was cardiac arrest, which thankfully did not happen. I avoided caffeine for a while after that, but here I am 10 years later drinking coffee and Monsters... I think I'm done with energy drinks, but coffee is going to be very difficult to curb.

Starbucks worker here, (and a year late), Frappuccino's have such little caffeine it would only affect anyone under the age of 4. The sugar is what gets you. We use whole milk, flavored sugar syrups, and an almost entirely sugar frapp base

I just have coffee twice a week on my days off. It's like a morning ritual to get out of bed, so i dont stay in my bed all day. I get up, walk to my local coffee place, get a coffee(something about their coffee makes it the only coffee i can tolerate), a sweet treat, and walk home. Im pretty sure the walk wakes me more than the coffee does, bc im adhd, but the coffee makes me focused. Then by the time i get home im ready to get started on whatever needs to be done.

I went to high school from 2007 to 2010. Even back then, you'd see kids that would slam 3 large Monster energy cans on the daily like it was nothing.

turns out i think i have undiagnosed ADHD becasue of hyperactivity impulsitivity and sometimes have trouble not getting side tracked. i also have bad mood swings and had bad depression and tried to drink energy drinks to cancel it out. its good but there's no way you finna be sleeping that night bruh because youre gonna jump off the walls like spiderman lmao

My main problem with not caffeine is that it's kind of the norm in the office. I drink around 4 cups a day in the office, but rarely outside of it.

My body seems highly tolerant to caffeine and sugar. I usually skip breakfast to sleep 20 minutes longer, so I have an early lunch at work at around 10, when my coworkers arrived and I can leave without fearing thiefs. My early lunch is two garlic baguettes and a donut from Lidl, plus some raw onion and pepperoni I keep in the fridge. I tend to drink two cans of Redbull while I eat, because I like the taste. I wash it all down with quite a bit of water to avoid melting my teeth. Then I feel a little less sleepy for 3 hours but it's barely noticeable. Then there's one of my coworkers that starts climbing walls after one Redbull.

You forgot the level where you feel sleepy for the first 15 minutes and then youre super energised! Also, the fact that for a while, swedes were told that if they had trouble sleeping, a small cup of coffee ,ight help! XD If you didnt know, the Nordic countries are on a completely different lvl when it come to coffee 😂

Yeah, caffeine is a mess of an addiction. I've had on more than one occasion where I skipped a day of drinking any caffeine, just to wake up to a splitting headache. It's miserable trying to brew and then keep down a cup of coffee when your head is killing you from withdrawl, just so you can get back to sleep...

I really think my day has the potential of becoming better if I drink flavoured monster drinks

Suger crashes never got me for some reason, never got energy from it etheir. Also would chug a pepsi before bed to help me get to sleep, now a monster or something does give me a little boost though.

I was a carnival worker, EMT, and now I'm a trucker. I'm at level six but I know what it's about. Coffee or soul crushing headache

Go to sweden my grandma drinks 9 cups of coffe. 2 in mornig, 1 9.30, 2 to lunch, 1 in after noon, 2 in the evening and 1 right before going to sleep.
