To ban monster ??

[Windthebloodybobbinup]

Ever since DC2 came along and we went back to newborn sleep patterns DH has started drinking those disgusting stinking monster drinks. He's now on 2 a day and every time I bring up how unhealthy they are he says- but you drink coffee and tea, it's the same thing (he doesn't drink hot drinks) also, a tiny (large) part of me cringes at people seeing them in our house or him drinking them- they are the kind of thing I associate with my 16 year old students! AIBU to attempt to put my foot down? I also really worry about their impact on his heart and general health.

I'm assuming your DH is a fully grown adult, and monster drinks are those energy drinks?

You can't put your foot down its none of your business. He's staying in the 'safe' 2 a day guidelines.

He's nuts though for the amount of sugar in those things though and I like my energy drinks.

YABU

I dislike them too but he's an adult.

Let him drink what he likes, forgawdsake!
It's a bit sugary, I'm sure, but he's an adult and can drink what he likes.

Put your foot down?! Poor bastard.

I have a nine month old baby and have to start the day with a can of redbull otherwise neither of us would make it out alive.

I think YABU. You do what you've got to do at the newborn stage.

Apart from threatening to put your foot down, YAalsoBU for also, a tiny (large) part of me cringes at people seeing them in our house or him drinking them
Who cares?

YABU but I know exactly how you feel, they are SO bad for you and 2 a day is an obscene amount of sugar as iirc they have 17 teaspoons of sugar in each.

They smell so sickly sweet too don't they ?

They have 27 grams of sugar in each can. My arse would expand if I put away that much every day.

Totally agree they are so bad for you! I do cringe when I see people drinking them, but don't think there's much you can do with him being an adult. They are very addictive!

Put your foot down?! Poor bloke. That's not even funny.

You can't ban a grown adult for drinking a soft drink of his choice. You are not his mum.

He's an adult!!

My breakfast is a croissant and a red bull. If DH tried to tell me not to eat or drink something I wouldn't eat it, because I'd have shoved it up his arse.

Are they the same as drinking a couple of cans of coke? Don't really see what the fuss is about. Do you think 'Chavs' drink them? Is this a snob thing? Ask him to try Purdeys Multivit instead!!

Whatever gets him throu

Yikes, are you his mother or his wife?

Interesting read dame, doesn't mention Redbull though which I'm partial to with a hangover!

Beg your pardon dame..Yes, it does.

DH has the sugar free version. It's not the drink itself that bothers me but the bleeding awful burps he does afterwards!

They are horrible but you can't tell him what to drink!

You definitely can't tell him not to drink them.

But fuck me, that's a lot of sugar.

Tons of caffeine plus tons of sugar. You see kids swigging this on the way to school!
