I have a serious problem with mountain dew, mainly livewire. I can’t stop drinking it! The caffeine gives me a short burst of energy when I wake up in the morning or am simply just trying to stay awake for classes, but I heard that caffeine in the long run drains your energy and is causing the tiredness in the first place. I get lots of sleep – I slept for almost 10 hours last night and I still woke up feeling like I only got 3. I was going to grab a dew, but I restrained myself this morning. I usually drink 2-3 cans/bottles a day, but I need to stop that. Despite what the doctors say, I think mountain dew is contributing to my getting-out-of-control acne problem as well. I’m going to attempt to really cut back – start drinking tea and a lot more water instead.

I literraly go through a case of mt dew weekly. I’m drinking 4 maybe 5 cans a day. Someone help!!
Hey Ya’ll. I have an addiction to Mountain Dew. I am 14 years old and drink more drinks than my 47 year old mom. My goal is to take things slowly….or atleast try to. I plan on starting out drinking one bottle of water a day, and Gatorade instead of Mtn. Dew…..Please Help Me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need Support! Thanks!
This is getting harder and harder. I actually layed off the mountain dew and was drinking only 1 a day. My body was actually getting use to it. I wasn’t having headaches and I wasn’t tired. What is my problem then? I can’t find a drink that suits me. Mountain Dew is literally the only drink I LIKE. I tried everything else – it all taste terrible. I’m sure that’s because I’m so use to the taste of Mountain Dew. sigh
i havent even thought of this idea until i came here. i’ve had people tell me they dont drink soda, and thought i wish i could do it, but it seems i cant go a day without the caffeine. i love mountain dew and coke. if i havent drank it by like 5:00 at night, i start getting headaches and feel so exhausted. then i drink some and i get like a second swing. this could be a really good idea for the new year. i think, i’ll try to cut back. im not gonna start out with none of it all together, because that might be just to hard. but i think i will definatly try to cut back.
My friend gave me a really good suggestion about how to cut back the Mt. Dew until I am no longer drinking it. To start with, on Tuesday and Thursday I can not drink Mt. Dew (or any soda for that matter) no matter what. It is a test of self control and also self respect. After a week or two of this schedule, I am going to add another day (or two, if things go really well), until I am no longer addicted to the Dew.
I am addicted to Mountain Dew. I know that sounds silly – but I am serious. I have been drinking it since I was a baby (sad, I know). When I don’t have Mountain Dew I get very band head aches, start shaking, and get very sleepy. I’ve tried drinking water, coffee, juice, other sodas. Nothing works because Mountain Dew is so overloaded with caffiene. I would be much healthier (and it would less expensive) if I could atleast drink less Mountain Dew.
This one is tough. I haven’t made any progress here. I am more addicted to Mt. Dew than I thought!
I like Mt. Dew, I just don’t care, I dream about it, I think about it all the time. I just don’t care, I’m going to drink it.
I still honeslty want to stop, so I’ll keep it as a goal for a little while longer.
