It messes me up if I take in caffeine in the afternoon. I get zero sleep. I think the cut off time for me is before noon. Any time after that and I will not be able to sleep that night.
 
Not that I recommend it but drink coffee consistently enough it won’t have that effect.

I know a guy who can drink 3 espresso shots and be asleep 20 minutes later. It’s not a good thing.

I pretty much limit myself to 2 coffees a day for the most part. Three if I REALLY need it.

Energy drinks are horrible, dont drink those unless there is no alternative
 
I feel like many people just over consume now.

A serving of coffee is 6 ounces. Go buy old coffee mugs off of eBay or whatever, they're not nearly as big as all the shit people use now. That's about 100 mg of caffeine. Think about people drinking mugs of 12oz (before adding whatever in) or 16-24 oz bought at wherever people pay too much to have their coffee made.

Similarly, a shot of espresso is 60-70 mg. How many shots in some venti bullshit latte?

At least for me, I can have a normal cup of coffee after work or dinner and sleep fine. I can't drink 200-400 mg of caffeine at that point and sleep fine.

Caffeine sensitive folks have to figure out what works for them. Maybe tea is a good midpoint in the afternoon?

Red Bull isn't super high in caffeine. 80mg for 8oz if I remember correctly.

So that 16oz can is still less than most people's coffee.

It does have some other shit in that are stimulants though.

I don't think anything should be banned but maybe caffeine content needs to be more prominently displayed.

Oh yeah, the gamer/bro energy drinks have insane caffeine

Edit: I think you meant large cans of Red Bull... That shit will add up too.

I’m fine as long as I keep it to the mornings. When I was younger I could drink 3 cups of coffee right before bed and pass out like nothing. With age that has changed.
 
Coffee doesn't really make me wake up, when I'm tired I get tired. Just want to go to lie down.

Never could figure out the energy drink thing. All the ones I’ve ever tried tasted like shit.
