I've been drinking 3 Monster a day for 2 years. If I quit I would get headaches and be unable to do anything. How do I start cutting down?

I've done this before. Pretty much yeah it'll be like that. Try tapering down, or replacing it with coffee. It's not just the caffeine you get addicted to, it's the routine.

This, and gradually less and less amounts of coffee until the addiction is manageable/you can have coffee or not any day, doesn't affect you.

If you don't' stop chugging Monsters, you will have at least heart disease and likely a heart attack. That shit has 666 in Hebrew on it. Satan wants you dead. Choose life, quit energy drinks

I don't get addicted to coffee or nicotine and I'm this close to believing that these substances are not addictive in of themselves. The addictiveness comes from everything that surrounds the substances - there's a lot more to energy drinks and coffee than just caffeine, and there's a lot more to cigarettes than just nicotine. The chemistry is complex as fuck and the behaviours of getting, preparing and taking the drug are also part of addiction.

>If I quit I would get headaches
Yes you should taper off, but make sure to stay hydrated and add electrolytes. Hydration is key for preventing headaches and cleaning up your body faster.

Try coffee instead but get good quality stuff. All the snobbery around how to make your coffee is overrated reddit nonsense - go for low-tech approaches like pour-over or french press. I like Turkish coffee, which requires a cezve(copper pot) but a steel pot is fine too. I recommend getting whole beans if you don't mind buying another piece of kit. I just use a small electric grinder that grinds that shit to dust in 20 seconds. See the coffee time general on /ck/ if you're curious.

If you have 4 days in a row you’re willing to be miserable, just quit cold turkey. otherwise drop one monster per day every week or so.

You can switch immediately to to 1 monster and two or three coffees a day. That alone isn't too bad if they're zero sugar. If you want to lower your caffeine tolerance, start only having having coffee on your days off or when you don't have much going on. You should be able to get to the point where you only need a monster as a boost, which is how they're meant to be used. It's the habit of cracking one open that's hard to break. Sparkling water can help

That's a myth. I bet you wouldn't actually get headaches. Just try to quit. Or try two instead of three then one instead of two. That's really an addiction? No wonder they warn about those things. I thought tasting like chemicals and shit was enough of a reason not to drink, but apparently people spend $10 a day on that shit? lol, $300/month on cans of sugar and extra caffeine. I'll never fucking get it.

Just switch to coffee like an adult.

If you completely stop you will get a headache one the first day, but it's easily mitigated with an asperin or one cuppa, the you just feel sleepy for like a week.
Anyway it's not fucking speed, life without coffee is objectively worse.

You literally cut caffeine by 1/4th for 9 days.
It only takes 3 days to adjust to a new caffeine amount.
You're shitposting stop acting like caffeine is areal drug like marijuana, that shit is actually addictive. turns people into trannies and gives them man boobs.

>>76425028 (OP)
Just man the headaches you pussy. Most likely only a day or 2, 1 week max.

>>76425028 (OP)
Switch to caffeine pills and micro dose

>how do I taper from 3 per day to 0.
Is it so fucking hard to drink 2 a day for a while and then go from there?
You people are so fucking useless and helpless.
