    I have ADHD and energy drinks have been helping me focus when I don’t have access to meds. Somehow Monster is the cheapest among the select few brands that I actually like the taste of (and a lot of people shit on it because of the taste – I guess it shows how subjective it is). I’m not happy about financially supporting a corp that makes money on getting people addicted to sugar, but I can’t deny the effects the drinks have on me

      Does coffee not work? It’s about $8 a month for me if I make it at home.

      I do pour over in a chemex, a full pot (6 cups) lasts 3 days, and lives in the fridge, just gotta remember to make it the night before if you want it iced.

          I cut back on sugar after having kids, and once I cut back really don’t miss it except for icecream or occasional donuts. I’ve also never liked fake sugar tastes. But whatever works for you.
