RedBull and the thrashy people who drink it

theguzman

Since Christmas with lockdown I am trying to get out walking every day that is dry, I have walked main roads and byroads and the one thing that disgusts me and every time is the absolute amount of litter.

I took a main road today as it is now incredibly quiet with very little traffic, I'd consider walking it to be a suicide mission with normal traffic levels. In the space of 750 metres from where I parked I counted 17 redbull cans and 4 thunder energy drink from Lidl or Aldi, there was also 4 galahad cans which is a cheap beer from lidl, numerous coffee cups, cigarette boxes, coke cans and two used condoms, overall the amount of plastic bottles was actually low on this stretch. Me and my wife now play a type of betting game of trying to guess how many cars we will meet and how many cans of redbull we will find, loser has to to dishes or vacuuming etc. Silly stuff but trying to survive lockdown without melting our brains.

Everywhere I have gone it always redbull cans that stand out, one backroad I walk in a remote location is a known haunt for the scumbag boyracers in their noisy bangers and the levels of redbull litter is at frightening levels all together.

I thought Monster was the drink of choice tbh. Although young wans are mad for vodka and Boost. It depends on the affluence of the area too.

Thrashy isn't really a word I'd associate with scummy behaviour. Or in fact, a word I'd heard of before. Knew thrash and thrashed, but not thrashy.

Red bull and people not knowing the difference between thrash/thrashy and trash/trashy.

Sippin' on a Red' while shooting the **** with your boys...a simple pleasure that op will never experience.

Very sad.

Yes never conflate trash with thrash. One is garbage the other a musical art form.... often derided by ironically enough trash; for its unbridled freedom in fine virtuosity

Get a bag, a grabber and pick them up and recycle....

Yes you shouldn't have to but then it wouldn't be so bad to walk it till the next day...

The scum throw anything out the window of car while going by....
Only have to look at car parks where there are take away where they then leave all the rubbish even though bins all around isn't it much easier not having to get out of the car.....

Double vodka and red bull...hit the dancefloor to get the shift but end up headbutting some langer.. God please end the pandemic so we can get back to these simple, wholesome pursuits.

Cant understand what they need all the energy for, it's not exactly consumed by the most industrious members of society that's for sure.

I wouldn't drink it on its own, but throw in a shot or two of vodka and it's a different animal

For some reason most people I know in recovery are heavily addicted to those energy drinks. That and smokes.

Why don’t you bring a bag next time and pick them up for recycling?

You're allowed travel more than 5km to go shopping. Otherwise people living in the middle of nowhere would have to survive on grass and nettles.

My nearest Mr. Price is 35kms away and the town is not my usual shopping town, "ahh, I'm just on my way to pickup a litter picker guard", bam €100 fine, no thanks.

Think he meant trashy

You'll now also find plenty of those nitrous oxide canisters in the usual dumping spots along the road.

So true. I have an uncle that is in recovery. Been sober for 15 years or so.

But I am not exaggerating when I say he drinks at least 5 cans or RB a day. He stayed with us for Christmas a couple of years back and I saw it first hand. Was mental.

I dont know how he does it. One can and I am wired.
