Never thought something like this would happen to me but I'm addicted to fucking Monster energy drinks. I didn't even consume caffeine in any form before I got hooked on it, I was just curious one day and decided to buy a can.
I drink 3 standard-size cans a day. I know body chemistry is different for everyone but supposedly with my height and weight I can handle 3.9 cans a day.
It's fucking embarrassing. Neither friends nor family know about this problem. I've tried going cold-turkey but the headaches are intense and the craving is so difficult to fight, especially since there's a corner store literally across the street.
What the fuck do I do? Gradually drink less? At what rate?

>I can handle 3.9 cans a day
They're about 140mg - 160mg caffeine each, depending on the flavour.
You're only supposed to have 400mg caffeine a day.
So no, you can't handle 3.9 cans - or at least even if you think you can, it's not doing you any fucking good.
Enjoy your heart attack.

I dont know but better do something because you can literally die...
Switch to coffee and gradually lower the amount you consume.

this.
don't try going cold turkey with any kind of addiction, in most cases. withdrawals can fuck you up pretty hard. just gradually drink less, or find something else to get interested in- like coffee

Go to doctor. You probably need hearth check, blood pressure and some pills to avoid death.
Go to doctor and stop drinking liquid jew.

Go to doctor.
Try finding an alternative and more healthy drink that hits that same sweet spot for you. I was in the same boat drinking two of the mega-sized cans daily but i recently tried kombucha and haven't gone back to monster since.

Wewlad, I was drinking 4-6 per day to get through 12-14 hour shifts. I just quit recently, been pounding coffee.
