Drugs/alcohol/energy drinks and autism.

Post Reply New Topic

No addictions here. I don't smoke and I don't like energy drinks. I drink fairly often, but not to get drunk. Alcohol doesn't make me feel any different at all, until I have one too many and then it suddenly goes straight to my head, making me nauseous.

I like getting drunk. I've heard from a few people that they like me better drunk than sober...
But nowadays I get migraines too often, so I don't drink as much as I did until I was 25.

I also can't smoke anything because of my migraines. The day I tried an water-pipe I had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night 'cause I couldn't bear the pain.
I also tried regular cigarettes and cannabis, but I didn't like any of them.

I do love coffee, but I can't take it anymore. Guess why? Yeah, migraines AGAIN!

About energy drinks... I like the taste, but never felt anything special with them. Probably they'd give me migraines too if I drank more often... lol

That's funny. The only time I get migraines from caffine is when I stop taking it "cold turkey". If a want to get off caffine. I have to ween myself off of it. If I just stop, I'll get massive migraines.

That was the reason why I stopped, actually. I had to take "X" caffeine per day, otherwise I had migraines. I also used to drink Coca-Cola as if it was water. If, for some reason, I couldn't have one or another for a whole day, I would definitely have a crisis! I got to a point where I thought it was kind of pathetic to be so dependent of caffeine.
I couldn't stop with Coca-Cola, though. I can't make a whole week without at least one can.
And now I have coffee only once or twice a year.

...Soda (diet and non-) , not energy drinks , for caffeine overload .

I might be the minority here, but I do not like any of them, at all, and won't give alcohol or drugs the time of day, even going as far as mocking the cultures surrounding them.

I get way too happy for coffee, redbull, monster.

I used to smoke for about 2 years and then I quit. I enjoyed other substances for a little bit, but now it's strictly caffeine.

No more than one caffeinated beverage per day though as I've noticed they can exacerbate anxiety in excessive amounts.

I enjoy alcohol, but I'm sensitive to it, so I'm cautious when drinking.

Caffeine doesn't have much of an effect on me. I like tea and coffee as comfort drinks or refreshments, but I think drinking one in the morning is largely a placebo effect - by the time I finish drinking it, I am awake anyway because time has passed, but not more than I am after drinking juice or a smoothie. And I regularly drink black tea a couple of hours before I go to bed, but my mom can't sleep if she drinks it any time after lunch.

I don't take drugs, alcohol and energy drinks in my life and I am very healthy and immune!

I don't drink coffee and tea either. It makes me feel ill, including smokes. I have no addiction in my Aspie lifestyle.
