[...] there is an important difference between 'would' and 'used to'. 'Used to' can be used to talk about past states as well as past repeated actions and habits, but 'would' is only used to talk about past habits. 'Would' is not used to talk about past states.

	habits and repeated actions	states	things that happened once
used to	x	x
would	x
past simple	x	x	x

    I used to love energy drinks when I was 16

X I would love energy drinks when I was 16
