energy drinks are for wimps and people who think they're cool

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

That's just like, your opinion man.

Energy drinks are lame

Magic the Gathering is for nerds and people who have no life or hygiene

See I can make broad generalizing statements too

Forum pages are for people who... (I dunno what to put, somebody finish it for me!)

Forums are for people with no life outside of the internet

you can, but yours is created just to be mean with no basis in fact

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

I could say that exact same for yours, given that the inherent value (or lack thereof) of an energy drink is entirely subjective (unless you count the price tag), just as it is with MTG.

[mikey]

mine was created cause it's the truth though, so you couldn't say the exact same

so you couldn't say the exact same

I can say it, and it'll have just as much weight as your statement, as both are purely subjective opinions

[mikey]

false.

Why do you drink an energy drink?  For energy.  This is a fact.  If you need an energy drink for energy, then you don't have enough energy of your own, and are therefore a wimp.  The same applies to coffee.

Why do you drink an energy drink?  For energy.  This is a fact.

False premise. For one, define "energy". If you mean a more alert mental state, then yes, that's the primary reason MOST people drink them as opposed to regular sodas.
That isn't the only reason, though; many people actually like the taste of specific kinds of energy drinks (pina colada rockstar is actually really good tasting).
 If you need an energy drink for energy, then you don't have enough energy of your own,[/quote]
Another false premise. Simply because you have enough energy of your own doesn't mean you couldn't want more. Yes, if you drink it explicitly for the energy aspect, you presumably want more, but not necessarily because you lack it to begin with. Many people, myself included, like the state of higher alertness.
In addition, I don't "need" energy drinks, they're just a luxury that I sometimes get to help me work on things late into the night, or just to have a nice feeling in your head.

and are therefore a wimp.

Subjective correlation between wanting energy and being a wimp (and that is defined differently from person to person).
 

The same applies to coffee.

Because nobody drinks decaf, right?

I just drink water.

Well, water's free at the cafe, soooooo...
