    So many people’s bodies and wallets would benefit from 4 weeks of only drinking water.

    The cravings will go away, drinks you used to love will suddenly be too sweet. You will simply feel better and wonder why you were so obsessed to begin with. Then you’ll buy 18 different kinds of tea to drink just 2 regularly. No idea why the last step happens, but it does.

      I wish that would happen for me. Maybe the length of time one needs to abstain needs to be longer or something. I try to avoid drinking sweet drinks because of how easily it makes you fat but I don’t enjoy them any less and my favourites never feel too sweet and often I find myself really craving a very sweet drink and it’s only by not having it in the house that I manage to avoid it.

      I guess I never really went full cold turkey, I figure I should be able to moderate the habit and only consume it on occasion which I think ends up being something like 1 to 2 glasses every 1.5 weeks on average.

  NileRed who makes entertaining chemistry videos making random things, has a video on making a caffeine free Red Bull:

  Its pretty much a guide on making it yourself if you’re daring and have the resources. And don’t forget to follow that up his video on how he turned latex gloves into hot sauce .

  Maybe grind some Smarties onto a 7UP?

    American or British?

      Sure!

  if you want more sourness maybe try adding some powdered citric acid or malic acid, whatever you can find at a grocery store. It’ll be in the spice aisle.

      In my grocery store it’s called Sour Salt (there’s no salt in it) and it’s in the Jewish section near the jars of borscht.

      But another way would be to squeeze a slice of lemon into it.

  Celsius has a line for caffeine free options

    Watch out for the random cans with alcohol though 😉

  Maybe try drinking a battery?

  What are you eating for dinner that the taste of energy drink goes well with it?

  source

  • echindod@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Doritos. And a gas station hotdog.

    • some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That hotdog’s looking pretty rough by dinner time

  I’ve seen concentrate with energy drink flavour. I tried it. Tastes like generic energy drink.

  Just mix it with water.

  Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.

  I did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.

  Have you tried Guárana?

  I find it tastes a bit like a mix of red bull and mountain dew. It’s a soda, but very close to energy drink taste

  • passenger@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It has caffeine though, and a mix of other compounds that have a similar effect as an energy drink, so it would not help with sleeping.

• Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Green apple soda

  Grapefruit soda (IE Squirt)

  Fruit juices (Pineapple is great)

• RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  caffeine free coke seems like the easiest solution.

• WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Seltzer with t grams of sugar.

• RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Dump a couple of random Kool-aid packs into a pitcher with a few cups of sugar. Then mix it up with the liquid from one car battery.

  Maybe just stir some pixie sticks into a half cup of water

  source
• rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  20ml of white vinegar in 500ml of clear grape juice?

  source
• Toes@ani.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  They used to make an unleaded monster.

  But the flavour profile of most cans is salt water taffies if that helps.

  That’d really be great. I’d love making red bull cocktails without caffeine in them

  Yes; energy drinks without caffeine.

  • JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Other things give you energy…

• Greg@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  What about just taking a regular energy drink with some sleeping tablets?

  I find that Pommac has remotely similar taste without actually being an energy drink.

• normalexit@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Caffeine is bitter. That’s why they mask it with sweet flavors in soda. Just drink it during the day as a treat occasionally and have water (or something else) with dinner?

  source
• dirkgentle@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I am not sure which energy drink you are after, but Guaraná soda tastest similar to some.

  source
• rowinxavier@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Add citric acid powder to make it sour. It is in the ingredients of energy drinks as an acidity regulator but also controls sourness. Be aware it is strong, so only add a little at a time, and make sure it is fully mixed before fizzing it.

  Caffeine, like many other things, is harmful only in excessive amounts. If you drink some just for the flavour it shouldn't be a problem.

  source

  • artiman@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Problem is I can’t sleep at night if I drink it at dinner, but I usually eat the good meals at night

    source

    • blarghly@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Have you tried drinking water with your dinner instead?

    i mean the whole point of energy drinks is that they have a stupid amount of caffeine

    source
• 9point6@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I bet you if it exists, the Scottish soft drink company Barr probably makes it

  It’s been absolutely years since I had either, but I reckon Tizer is probably not too far off that red bull taste. I might be completely misremembering though
