I nearly killed myself with red bull when I was 18, because I could easily buy 24 cans. Energy drinks should only be sold in places like bars.

Maybe closer to coffee shops than bars. The use case of energy drinks is a bit different than that of alcohol. Sometimes I'll need a little boost while driving during a long or late shift, i like the the taste of coffee so I'll usually get a coffee. Some people don't like coffee or it isn't always available so energy drinks work as well. The overconsumption of energy drinks is their main issue.

I tried monster in my first university year, combining monster and coffee to be alert and don’t sleep over the books.

I was like Fry on 99 coffees

Had a dissociative episode, nothing to worry about but got me really scared. After that I stopped drinking Monster and toned down the coffee intake.
