In March, The Journal of American College Health published a report on the link between energy drinks, athletics and risky behavior. The study's author, Kathleen Miller, an addiction researcher at the University of Buffalo, says it suggests that high consumption of energy drinks is associated with "toxic jock" behavior, a constellation of risky and aggressive behaviors including unprotected sex, substance abuse and violence.

I cant even believe some of the stupid shit they come up with these days.  I mean on the one hand, most guys I know in the military drink shit tons of energy drinks.  And usually marines have more A type - risk taking personalities.  However then I think about this past season of the hills.  And every one of those girls was downing red bulls like there was a cock at the bottom of the can.  And I doubt im going to be seeing LC driving a bull dozer through a police station any time soon. 

It just blows my mind that someone would even be allowed to publish such an idiotic article.

QuoteThe finding doesn't mean the drinks cause bad behavior. But the data suggest that regular consumption of energy drinks may be a red flag for parents that their children are more likely to take risks with their health and safety. "It appears the kids who are heavily into drinking energy drinks are more likely to be the ones who are inclined toward taking risks," Miller said.

Try again Trey.... :)


PS and disclaimer :
That's nearly all I read from the article...



If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face.

Variable

yeah that's my point.  The info is 100% inconclusive.  But now all kinds of parents are going to freak the fuck out every time their high schooler comes home with an energy drink. 

tarkil

OK, that's 1 point for you then, and I do agree...

I tend to not care about that, there are so many similar faggottries : video games, black metal, etc.
It's so ridiculous it bores me asleep...
Honestly people who give any credit to that are so dumb that they don't deserve anything more than me not giving a shit...

I guess it just bugs me to think about some fat, useless, and completely bored mom somewhere in middle America watching this story on the 9:00 news and gasping right before she says " oh Jesus help me, Johnny was just drinking one of those before school this morning"

So I guess actually its really just stupid people who dont fucking think at all who bug me.

yeah I was just talking about that last night ( obviously this article struck a nerve ) About how schools were reporting bad behavior and lower testing scores by students who drink energy drinks.  I was like, Well they were drinking their monster because they were high as fuck and they needed to be able to stay awake during class.  That's why their fucking scores were low...........sounded better then.

anyway. i always blame shitty parenting for kids doing bad things or growing up and being nuts.

yeah, for sure parenting for the most part and also social and environmental issues too.

But I find it strange that you ( as most of us know your better habbits ) would not try energy drinks for health issues.  Im not even 100% convinced that the low carb - low sugar drinks are bad for you.

i drink lots of coffee and lots of energy drinks and i as much as i really wish they made me more likely to perform risky or sexually pleasing activities, they don't. all they do is make you awake and annoying to others.
