Define moderation.

B6 can cause nerve damage long term. Taurine is just a part of bile, it is an amino acid that is in basically all meat. You aren't going to get enough of it from energy drinks to swing the needle one way or the other. They also have sugar or sugar alcohols that can fuck with blood glucose in all kinds of fun ways. Coffee, on its own, is basically just caffeine and water, it is going to be healthier than most other drinks categorically.

Honestly been wondering that a lot. I drink coffee daily. I don't feel like it's killing me. Surely it's not as bad as monster, but what if the amount I drink comes close to the same impact? Is receiving a daily dose of mental stimulants not supposed be part of a healthy diet? 🫠

also aluminium cans = microplastics

aluminium is not safe for storing wet acidic things such as drinks, so the inside is plastic-coated

i wonder, which is worse: the microplastics, or the aluminium salts that would be the alternative problem?

The high salt content in Monster is not to be overlooked, a coffee a day keeps the kidney stones away.

I never heard this. do you have sources that I can read to learn more?

This right here. Vaping needs way more regulation, but come on, the physics here are quite straightforward.

repeatedly inhaling actual smoke.

As compared to liquid vapor, which lungs are known to really enjoy ;P

Not necessarily disagreeing with you that cigarettes are a good chunk worse than vapes, just a funny

Expresso huh?

Can you send me their underwear, I want a whiff.

It's lavender

Vapes work by vaporising the liquid using a metal (usually leaded) coil (Edit: which heats up and cools down rapidly and many times). While cigarettes also contain lead (like everything else), it isn't nearly as bad.

Idk, I'm a full adult and like them. They're yummy.

I like the fruit flavored nicotine pouches too.

I'm not one to complain about what harms people choose to expose themselves to. Everyone owns their own body. The environmental damage effects us all though.

You can cut your finger off at the 2nd knuckle or the 3rd knuckle.

Because you compared them

Aren't you convinced yet?

As a one time thing, sure. But when they start seeing it several times a day, it makes it seem normal. It maybe adds to their curiosity so they end up trying it.

Big "I just sold them the drugs, I didnt make them use it" energy right here.

Memes that depict it positively are a subtle way to normalize the behavior.
