OK, I never need to try that again!
 

Has anyone else tried those little bottled energy drinks?
I use them sometimes to wake up when at work. Usually the 6-hour ones. Well, today, just for the heck of it, I drank 2 of them, one right after the other. Right now, my whole body feels like it's overheating and my arms itch.
On the other hand, I am REALLY awake now!

Do they use caffeine as the major stimulant? I'm a caffeine addict, and pretty much drink it from morning until bedtime. I've never tried those energy drinks but I fear they would have me bouncing off the walls.

Each one has 220mg of caff. bouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebounce!!!!!!

It sounds like you are sensitive to niacin (B3). Energy drinks are usually loaded with B vitamins.

Right now I feel sensitive to a slight breeze blowing in Argentina.

Hahahahah!

is your pee bright yellow?

Never knew you were into watersports LJ. lol!!!

That's the niacin alright. Either that or the meth... hard to tell sometimes.

There is no meth to my madness! :p

i used to drink RockStar diet energy drinks......always made my wee glow

I used to drink FolkSinger energy drinks. Man, they made me mellow and sleepy.

I used to drink Pimp Juice until I found myself voting for Obama, then I knew I had a serious problem. Of course, that's Step #1..

I used to drink Whore Juice, but then I would just lay on my back with my legs in the air....or was that Octomom Juice?

I did one of those five ounce energy things.....never again, baby. the BAD kind of shakes.

Spike. Fear it.

I drink a lot of Red Bull so I was quite surprised when I drank a can of Spike and felt like I had a swarm of hornets in my head. Gotta watch those energy drinks - some are pretty lethal.

The best thing I have found for an energy lift is Nano Coffee. No peak and crash - just a steady, medium-term, medium-intensity lift.

I once took a five-hour energy shot plus a can of Monster...my wife said I was talking like an auctioneer and I remember my head buzzing and rapid eye movements. Time seemed to slow down a little bit.

I only did that because I had a hot load and it needed to be delivered yesterday (literally). I was getting sleepy and the soonest my student could take over was five more hours. That cocktail worked to keep me awake and alert all right but I don't do that anymore, I just get more sleep!

hmmm. I have tried red bull. I can drink more than one with no bad effects. Never tried any of the other ones. If I drink more than one cup of coffee I get shaky and nauseous. I don't drink sodas either.

I'm never going to eat Skyline chili and then a chocolate easter egg. a chocolate butter-pecan easter egg.

oooooo, tummy....hurts....

I am ultra caffeine-sensitive (I have pretty much none at all now).
But you guys have me all tempted to go and get a really strong one tomorrow and see what happens... Then again, I've never really enjoyed the scratchy, shaky high I got from coffee, so perhaps best not.

I am never again going to assume that English sun in April isn't too hot for me to sit out in.
An hour. ONE hour folks!
I'm not burned exactly, but I am warm and pink. Matching my... hair.
You'd think I'd have learned after 37 years...

Silly Cap

I usually have a different solution to this problem. :D

This post reminds me of my youth
drinking pints of cider and sniffing lines of amphetamine sulphate

I've had that feeling in my groin, too. Didn't realize that energy drinks would help that.

What an oddly apropos bit of information... sure enough, google says that taking B vitamins will make your pee bright yellow, because you're just peeing the unused amount right back out again. Minifob is on a regimen of a relatively high amount of B-vitamins--and his pee is still clear as always. Looks like he really does need them.

vitamins will make your pee bright yellow as well.

so will pyridium.
