I wouldnt call them good, more like neutral.

Is any derivative from a harsh compound automatically bad? 

You tell me, I'm not a scientist nor am I an elite level athlete like yourself.  

Is drinking shit made from formaldehyde good for you?

"Made from formaldehyde" 

Wait til you find out what table salt is made from. Dude - my point is that not everything is surface level and throwing blanket statements out like that is not the whole story. 

My only point is that there's more to it than "scary name mean bad".

Deep down you guys know this isn’t good for you but you continually look for small snippets of positives to justify your habit. Look, look….a B vitamin is in there….

How many wine drinkers will nonstop talk about how their nightly habit is actually good for them because of antioxidants. Miraculously there’s a few well funded advertisements, I mean, studies at your fingertips to back it up.

So true. OJ is delusional like he was during his trial.

I think those drink are toxic, because they’re filled with garbage. I couldn’t tell you the last time I drank alcohol or ate fast food. 

 Wait, I ate at Tommy’s on my way home from A-1 a couple weeks ago.

You're partially right, I'd much prefer a beer to an energy drink. Water, hops, grain, yeast.

The people saying they aren't toxic are just trying like hell to not have to admit they aren't as disciplined as they like to tell themselves they are.

There is no way this is actually an argument. 

This stuff is not good or “neutral” for you. 

Just like a lot of things that are mass produced in the food industry, I think we just have to proceed with some caution on over consumption habits. 

Daily alcohol use,

Daily coffee use,

Daily soft drink use

Daily energy drink

Daily processed foods

Daily high processed sugars 

daily cigarettes

Daily zyns. 

Have all been shown to be bad “to a certain degree” for you. You can go nuts and try to cut everything out to live to 89 instead of 87 or you can just be truthful to yourself and consume everything in moderation because they offer other benefits that you think matter. Comfort, energy, stress relief, quick fix. 


But don’t argue that it’s good for you. C’’on lads.

Are you trying to tell me every member of Vital isn't a vegan, 8% bf, clean and sober, marathon runner who can bench 225 for 10? My world is crumbling

It's called "Tour Water", and its just that... water. I see it on some of the rock gigs i do if the gig or band is sponsored by Monster.
