Why do people act like coffee in the morning is such a sacred routine but soda in the morning [basically the same drink] is lowbrow and unhealthy?

like, it’s caffeine and water and brown, who cares. i drink diet soda so it’s no calories, no sugar. versus the stereotype starbucks order, why is soda so demonized

the whole sort of basically woo stuff about oh there’s antioxidants there which give you a 3% lower risk of skin cancer after the age of 65 like come on that doesn’t count

If you ain’t chugging the glass of water off your night stand as the very first drink of the morning, y’all are missing out.

After that, I have a NOS. Energy Drinks are the socially acceptable morning beverage that isn’t coffee. Or orange juice. Or milk.

That’s how I got my first and hopefully last kidney stone.

what is a NOS?

adaveinthelife,

Brand of energy drink with packaging designed to resemble a nitrous oxide tank found in aftermarket automotive industry.

TrustingZebra,

Everything anout energy drinks’ branding screams unhealthy. Even their advertising is focused on partying and extreme sports, it’s like they want you to increase your chances of dying young.

That being said, the actual evidence of energy drinks being particularly unhealthy is kind of mixed.

yata,

They are indisputably unhealthy on account of the amount of sugar they contain.

TrustingZebra,

There are sugar-free variants.

NPC,

Idk either, i usually start my days with a coffee, but have started some with a can of red bull as well. I think drinking anything other than water is pretty much never “the best thing” for you, so whether it’s coffee or soda, if you can work it into a otherwise healthy diet: you drink your soda I’m the morning, or coffee, or tea or whatsoever. We’re all adults here and shouldn’t be judging each other over such petty things anyway

I wonder what those at !coffee have to say about this.

I rarely drink coffee and sometimes drink soda, but never in the morning. I’m concerned about developing a need for caffeine.

cyberpunk007,

Once I thought coffee was giving me migraines so I quit it cold turkey for 2 months. Turns out it wasn’t so I started again. I just like a warm drink in the morning. Caffeine itself doesn’t really do anything to me I don’t think. I can drink a coffee at 11pm and pass out at 1130 no problem.

I’ve heard caffeine can have a calming effect on people with ADHD.

It can. I have a friend who let her preteen son drink coffee, because he had ADHD and it had a positive effect on him.

cyberpunk007,

Lol, I do sometimes wonder if I have that

LegionEris,

I don’t understand how people can have sugar with their primary source of caffeine. Caffeine just doesn’t hit me right with any calories. I also hate coffee, so I live on those Celcius powders.
