Might be a bit hard for you to buy depending on where you live but YABU energy drink is just straight up carbonated Polish apple juice with caffeine. I drank a few different flavours they have and they are nice.

You can get caffenated water; I'm sure it would carbonate just as well as regular water.

Dunno where you are, but ChariTea has a new sugar free mate. Mate based drinks in general tend to be at least less sweet than that energy drink stuff.

I personally usually just make coffee at home and take it with me, but I recognise that doesn't work for everyone.

Hiball energy seltzer is pretty good, but they stopped selling it near me.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Hiball is crack

Not to be that guy, but as someone who quit caffeine entirely, honestly it's kinda great not needing caffeine. I traded my daily coffee for water and now I just drink shitloads of water and it's honesty glorious. Waking up and just...going is amazing

Wanted to throw it out there because it seems not many people try to kick caffeine

Bawls is just guarana and caffeine iirc.

Ed: hfcs in it now I guess, shame

just fucking buy caffeine at this point.

[–] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly. Home carbonated filtered water and anhydrous caffeine. Just make sure you have an accurate scale.

or don't and go wild ass berserk

[–] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. You can buy caffeine by the kilo and incidentally it sort of looks like really stepped on coke.

But I'm not kidding about the accurate scale tho. I LOVE caffeine, but the last time I tried to eyeball 200mg I ended up feeling like I was going to die.

I actually think Lipton peach ice tea in 2lt packets have no sugar added, giving them a really mild flavor compared to their fruit juice like flavor in canned and 1lt forms
