does anybody use these? i’m about to embark on creating my inventory code and i’m having an energy crisis. part of it is i’m on meds for schizophrenia and they really weigh me down (sedating effect). i’d probably get more energy from beer but i had to make an ultimatum to quit drinking that for health (mental and physical) reasons.
what do you guys drink, if anything? tea, coffee, lemonade? iced water? caffeine and lemonade is a pretty good combination. actually caffeine and anything but i know energy drinks have more than just caffeine in them.
I stopped drinking all caffeinated a few years ago, and I feel a lot better. I used to guzzle caffeinated soda all morning to get going. I found out that water is really all I needed during the day.
Yep. The only thing I drink when I’m coding is ice water. I’ve found that ever since switching to it and other more healthy eating habits that I have more energy by default than I ever had with energy drinks.
i used to combine beer with caffeine pills and that gave me a lot of energy. the stimulant effect of the caffeine offset the fatigue you usually get from drinking, so it was like a mental and emotional stimulant. but on my meds if i drank like that i would die, not to mention that i had to quit so i didn’t become an addict and destroy my health.
coding and booze are funny companions … i had some good experiences while drinking, but mostly i just drank to kill boredom (and have some of what i now recognize as empty euphoria).
