Politely decline the drink and focus on staying hydrated with water.
Why: this protects your sleep and next-day performance, which is the long-term goal that matters more than a temporary buzz. It’s a clear, self-controlled choice rather than giving in to peer pressure.
How to do it: be polite and brief — e.g., “Thanks, but I’ve got early practice tomorrow so I’ll stick with water.” Offer a friendly alternative: “I’ll pass on the energy drink — can I grab a water instead?”
