This is why I try to stay away energy drinks, I don't find them nasty or anything but I'd rather not get into them. From time to time I'll have one but if I need caffeine I'll get some coffee. Anyways I'd suggest you slowly take yourself on them, don't just quit cold turkey but lower the amount you intake a day. It'll be rough because your body probably thinks it needs the energy drinks to function.

Bad addition sadly, I couldn't ever do that, if I ever have an energy drink on an empty stomach as well I just get severely hungry later on and I just end up shaking a little lol.
For real though, definitely should try find an alternative drink to get addicted to that won't have bad effects.

Try switching to coffee! It'll be better than the energy drinks and you can still get ya caffeine

What's your favorite flavor?

Either mocha, punched, or the blue super sour; I can't pick one

Some very good advice right here from @Oni.
@OP I drank redbulls too but switched to Nalu, Redbull just didn't taste good anymore.
Too much of anything is never good.

You should probably slow down the drinking, that seems really unhealthy. Follow @Oni 's advice.

switch to coffee, its not as bad for you, some people argue that a few cups a days can actually prolong your life, given that you are drinking black coffee. I drink 4-5 cups of coffee a day, sometimes more if i have the day off or all my buddies are on PSN or PC.

It's actually becoming that bad where I start having pains in the heart area, but I still continue to drink them, If that's not addiction I have no idea what is.
Taurine addiction.. that can get pretty serious once you start taking in massive doses. In younger (<25yrs) people it's been linked to cardiac arrhythmia. Wein yourself off of the taurine heavy ones with huge amounts of taurine-free ones (like kickstart). then it's just caffeine addiction you've gotta beat and that one's easy.

Used to drink at least a Monster or Red bull a day but I cut that off real quick. All the caffeine made me too jittery. Have just one coffee in the morning and that's enough. I reserve the energy drinks for Hackathons or time I stay up for more than 20Hours at a time.
I'd follow what other people say, switch to coffee and you'll be healthier.
