Buying 2 (or even just having 2) a day is getting pricey as it tends to come out around $30/$35 a week. I work 12-15 hours a day most days and usually only get 1 day off so caffeine/energy drink is needed.

• A pop/soda doesn’t give me enough boost or I’d do that
• Coffee doesn’t always help and with my job, I can’t be taking the bathroom breaks needed for coffee
• Green tea hasn’t been much help
• My work has a rule that we can’t carry water bottles with us (unless we have a doctors note) so the water flavoring with energy added isn’t really a choice for me

I would quit if I could, but like I said, I work 12-15 hours a day most days. 70+ hour weeks aren’t abnormal for me

Research caffeine pills. It’s great for some and not for others depending on any health issues you may have.

You need to drink water. You working a lot of hours… that will catch up with you… take care of yourself.

I would have suggested an energy drink mix – but not having water doesn’t work with that. I would agree with Petal and see if you can get a Doctor’s note. That’s a lot of hours to go without water.

Maybe caffeine pills if nothing else works.

Maybe try a good multi vitamin, get more rest, and try eating things high in protein.

Can you get a doctors note? Surely your doctor would prefer you remain hydrated all day and that you drink water rather than energy drinks?

[Renae]

Where do you work where you aren’t allowed to stay hydrated without a doctors note? That’s nuts.
