My husband has been spending anywhere from $90-245 a month just on energy drinks. I am constantly nagging him to stop and he always says he will, but then I see charges and know he hasn’t. He claims coffee doesn’t help him anymore. Am I in the wrong?

Question

Accepted Answer

that’s not healthy at all. honestly at this point he’s probably going to need to detox, but it sounds like he doesn’t even want to help himself. If he does, he needs to start by getting 8 hours of sleep, every night, eating regular, healthy meals, and drinking plenty of water. Tea or juice is fine but water is what he needs at this point. 
I knew a guy in high school who would drink sometimes 7+ energy drinks a day, and now we’re 22 and he looks like a 40 year old man and he’s got chest pains already. Seriously, he needs to stop this now.

Answer

How the actual fuck

Answer

If he’s that tired, he needs to see a doctor and maybe a nutritionist/dietician. It may be a deeper medical issue.

Answer

Omg that’s an insane amount of money to spend on energy drinks @-@ and they’re so bad for you in the long run. Have him try black and green teas with ginger. (Cheaper and he can make it at home & take a large tumbler/thermos to work)

Answer

No you’re not in the wrong at all. Not only is his heart going to become a ticking time bomb because of his energy drink consumption, but that’s VERY financially irresponsible. Just like anything else, his body will get used to those energy drinks & not work anymore & if he’s drinking them that often I’m surprised he even gets anything from them other than the satisfaction of getting his addiction fix. 
I completely understand though. My husband does the same shit, racks up ungodly amounts of $ spent a month on energy drinks and gas station junk. It got so bad that I went & got my own bank account because I refused to work my ass off for him to waste our money. I ended up printing off the bank statements and added up his gas station purchases & his fast food (lunch for him since he’s too good to eat a damn homemade sandwich😡)... he spent almost $800 IN ONE MONTH. That was the final straw. Told him I’d pack my shit & leave if it didn’t change. He still spends $$ on stupid gas station shit but he stopped eating out for lunch, so it’s progress but he still spends way too much on bullshit.

Answer

He’s literally going to drop dead OMG. He does realize that the only reason these things don’t work for him anymore is because he keeps upping his dosage, right? If he quits it for a while and regulates his body, then coffee will be more than enough eventually. 
Do you all have kids? If you do I would tell him that you fear for his health because of all the junk he’s drinking and you want him to be around for his kids. If you don’t have kids, tell him you aren’t even going to consider having them with somebody who is willing to put his health at risk like that. See if that motivates him. Not a threat, it’s a reasonable concern

Answer

Omg that’s so bad for him! Forget the financial aspect and think about the health aspect. That’s insane, I hope he stops for himself and for you..

Answer

I'm trying to figure out how you would spend $245 on engery drinks? That's like 122.5 at $2 a piece. That's like 4 a day! I would have him see a dr. He may need to have his hear checked and maybe a sleep study. I used to drink engery drinks a lot. I was a single mom working night shifts and I still could never drink that many a day without feeling sick.

Answer

Ok so I am someone who drinks around 4-6 energy drinks a day. Specifically Monster. Unfortunately I am addicted to Monster energy drinks to where if I don’t drink it, I get sick. Literally it doesn’t even give me energy at this point. I can drink it and fall straight to sleep. I would say, stop him if you can or atleast try to cut him down to 1-2 a day because it’s not healthy and it really does suck feeling like you need to depend on a beverage.

Answer

Show him some of the research done on energy drinks and how horrific they are for you.
