apparently one bang has 300mg caffeine
while monster only has 180
>120mg less
this makes bang the more affordable and healthier sip (I'll get 300mg+ caffeine anyway, so this way I won't overdose whatever other shit is in energy drinks)
which one of these taste the best? i've never had bang before
only these flavors can be mixed in a 24 can thingy
more bang for your buck
Bang is honestly insane. I can't believe it's legal to sell that stuff. I think the first time I had one I was 25 and 200 lbs lean, drank one over the course of about 15 minutes and nearly barfed from the caffeine. Like skeleton in the rocking chair meme. I can only imagine what would happen if some 16 y/o homosexual zoomer pounds one not knowing what lies in store
High school teacher here, my students drink bangs for breakfast unironically and act like they have no energy at all. They're probably dying idk.
They have a high tolerance for caffeine. They probably don't feel much from a bang.
You very quickly develop tolerance to caffeine. Then you're utterly dependent on it. Just look at all the people who can barely even get out of bed without 3 strong coffees.
I've gone through caffeine withdrawal multiple times because I prefer to stay off that shit unless I've got really pressing deadlines and mountains of work. Caffeine usually helps productivity for the first 2-3 weeks of regular use, but after that it's something you HAVE to use to stave off lethargy. And quitting then makes you feel like shit with zero energy for a week or two.
that's exactly how it should be used
caffine puts your body into overdrive, artificially
your body isn't supposed to be feel as stressed as if you're hunting a lion while sitting in a cubicle 8 hours a day
I think caffeine abuse nowadays is insane. not necessarily because caffeine is crazy harmful but because people are so desensitized to it. people joke about it so casually
In my country you need to be 18 to buy an energy drink. They card you at the deli. Americans will scream BUT MUH FREEDUMS but at least our children aren't being poisoned by this shit
>High school teacher here
You have my deepest, sincerest condolences.
>21 and 110lbs
>drank one and functioned as though i drank water
>110lbs
I'm gonna have to ask you to start eating, lifting and stop being such a homosexual.
>30 years old and 75lb
>drank one and shit my ass
I've been drinking Bang for the last two years after I got tired of the same boring Monster Ultra Zero flavors. Almost double the caffeine, but I don't notice it. I don't drink them every day either. Maybe one every other day at most, but usually not even that often. Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that 300mg of caffeine really isn't that much. Yes, it is more than one or two cups of coffee would have, and yes you probably shouldn't be drinking them if you have heart problems or are 90 years old, but it isn't dangerous levels of caffeine for an otherwise healthy person. In fact, they have coffee now with double that. Check out Death Wish Coffee. They seem that at my local grocery store. An 8oz cup has almost 500mg of caffeine. Makes a Bang look like child's play, relatively speaking.
300 mg is 3 cups of coffee
It’s probably not good to overload your system with caffine like that 1 coffee a day is probably fine but there are kids who drink 2 bangs a day its retarded.
For whatever reason I find energy drinks even Bangs only work if I drink them occasionally. When I tried them daily the effect wore off almost immediately. I didn’t get the same problem from coffee for some reason although there’s obviously some caffeine tolerance. But with energy drinks it’s like I feel nothing by the third day
i drink 6 cups of coffee every day
Bang does so much stealth advertising I'm certain this is a shill thread
apparently bang in sweden only has 0,032% like everything else
Nocco PWO tho that has 80mg per 100ml
but nocco tastes like shit
a bit weird that it has different amounts in sweden when going by nocco there's no regulation
bang flavors are legit disgusting though and don't retain their fizz very well. the only ones i like are the teas which are quite yummy. and the keto coffees stick to your mouth its fuckin weird.
sugar free rockstars are my fav, but usually i just get powdered caffeine from alibaba and mix a powdered sugar free sweet tea packet in. haven't needed to buy any energy drink for a while.
One bottle of Everclear is 95% alcohol while vodka is only 35-40% alcohol. This makes Everclear the more affordable and healthier sip.
Forgot pic
Correct!
Birthday Cake is their best flavor and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise
Stim fiend here. Here are my qualifications
>I have taken naps after ingesting 120mg DMAA
>I have consumed 900mg of caffeine in one day
>I have had nearly every bang flavor
All of the blue ones are bad, the best tasting ones in my opinion are:
Rootbeer
Champagne
Key Lime Pie
Pina Colada
Black Cherry Vanilla
Should be noted that bang is twice as delicious when ice cold, as cold as you can get it. Pop that bitch in the freezer before you drink it
Forgot my most important qualification,
>I took 50mg of ephedrine and 400mg of caffeine and suffered Angina, I thought I would go into cardiac arrest for about 3 hours
>900mg of caffeine in one day
That's it? One tired night I was up to 1400mg and still falling asleep. I reset my tolerance and just drink 2 cans of mountain dew instead now to keep my tolerance low.
First learn about homeostasis, tolerance, and pharmacological half lives.
I'm not sure how it works with caffeine (some drugs cause so much downregulation that it takes months to get back to baseline) but I'm, maybe, 90% sure that regular high doses pale in comparison to tapering on and off.
lol I can slam 2 and take a nap up your game pussy.
>"i have nothing going on in my mind"
I cut coffee out for the most part and now cutting out energy drinks. Wish I never started either.
You can get off it in 2 weeks or so.
Yeah I’ve done it in the past but after a while I start back up again. At least it isn’t alcoholism, enough of them in the family.
Bang has great flavors and its a preferable alternative to being a yellow toothed boomer who drinks 6 cups of coffee every day with breath smelling like shit.
Caffeine as a drug is a neuro stimulant and people are never going to abandon it.
>one bang has 300mg
do americans really?
>product named for the sound of an explosive release of energy
>contains a lot of caffeine
>this joke is lost on low IQ third worlders
>drinking poison and being proud of it
Are you a soccer mom on facebook, homosexual? Caffeine has an LD50 of 150mg per kg of body weight. Calling it a poison is so grossly stupid and gay that only an actual female would think its a good argument.
Or you could just buy 200mg caffeine pills at 3¢ per pill
Yes, caffeine pills are definitely the cheapest $ to caffeine ratio by far. But you don't get to /sip/.
coffee is about 10-20 cents a cup if you use a large dose. It's also not filled with a bunch of bullshit like taurine that will cause endothelial damage to your arteries.
>Taurine, a semiessential amino acid, has been shown to be protective of endothelial structure
>Taurine, which is another potent antioxidant that is found in food, has been reported to protect against endothelial damage.
>Taurine supplementation reverses endothelial cell dysfunction and promotes mobilisation of endothelial progenitor cells
Wow it's the exact opposite of what you said you retard.
d.com/heart-disease/news/20181105/study-1-energy-drink-might-harm-blood-vessels
The function of these cells was tested before and after the participants consumed the energy drink, and again 90 minutes later. The researchers looked at artery flow-mediated dilation -- an ultrasound measurement that is an indicator of overall blood vessel health.
After 90 minutes, the internal diameter of blood vessels tested was dramatically smaller, on average, than before, the investigators found.
This negative effect on blood vessels may be related to ingredients in the energy drink, such as caffeine, taurine, sugar and other herbals, the researchers suggested. Taurine is an amino acid touted as increasing energy and was originally extracted from bull semen -- hence the name Red Bull, the researchers said.

Energy beverage consumption has a negative impact on arterial endothelial function in young healthy adults.
The toxic effects of simultaneous caffeine intake (CAF) and taurine (TA) were more severe to rats than their toxicity separately. Conclusion: The tissues of the liver, kidney, and heart are sensitive to a potential toxic effect of Taurine and Caffeine. As a result, CAF and TA can lead to the emergence of some diseases in the liver, the kidney, and the heart by inducing changes in the tissues, including congestion in the portal vein and lymphatic infiltration, sinusoidal dilatation, hemorrhage, and necrosis in the liver

basically, you're fucking retarded and only looked up one study and you can't read.
>it's just one study!!
Lol no. Sorry sweaty.

It's the combination of taurine along with caffeine and the other ingredients found in energy drinks you absolute fucking retards holy shit learn to read you stupid fucks.
I wouldnt want to take 300mg caffeine in one sitting tho
NGMI.
I hate all the bang flavors except Star Blast
I really like Star Blast
It also sounds like a drink out of Va11 Hall-A
