Caffeine

I've gotten into the habit of drinking one energy drink a day before going to work. I don't think it's any different than drinking plenty of coffee though.
 
don´t stay up to 4 nights playing MMORPGS mang 8o , seizures anyone?


haha I only did this once when expansion came out ;P


I never knew a cup of coffee really had that much caffiene , I thought it said on the redbull it's equal to one cup of coffee.

Caffeine mg 330 for a cup of starbucks?

That doesn't seem right , a venti latte is 225 mg and thata a few shots. I've had their regular coffee and it seriously doesn't feel like 330 mg. Thats more then the work out energy drinks I take .

For me I personally like the taste of red bull and rockstar. I use to do the whole red bull vodka or jager but grew out of that phase. I'm sure the combination of both when binge drinking is well awful for you. 8)
 
i have seen heroin cut with coke (I think for the "rush") but to save money for IV users. Very easily recognizable when sniffed or tasted.
 
my friend got a water infection off drinking to many cans of Redbull daily (sometimes up to 8).
I love jager n Redbull (jagerbombs) but the day after drinking lots n lots of these while clubbing really fukin kills you tbh. i myself used to drink 3-4 cans of redbull a day. it isnt good for you or your wallet!!
 
Yeah I used to live off the stuff. Got to the point where I was drinking upwards of 600 - 800mg every day, red bull, V, red eye (my favorite) or in a pinch just good old fashioned coke. After it got too pricey I started taking caffeine pills instead and was washing 2 or 3 of those down to get out of bed in the morning.

It's pretty unhealthy, you feel fine at the time, but when you stop you realise how much stress you were putting on your body (not to mention the withdrawals suck ass, killer headaches and fatigue). Really compounded my anxiety, as well as playing all sorts of havoc with my body.

And now I can't even drink the stuff, even a can of coke sends me into massive heart palpitations and anxiety, worse even than what I get from meth.
 
I can't believe we have a two page thread about the dangers of redbull and yet most of us advocate the use of substances that are more harmful and addictive (not only in usage but also procurement) to the body. Have we lost some perspective here?
 
Why? What's the difference between kids killing themselves with caffeine or amphetamine? At least them damn kids will do some work with amphetamine.

Why? Because amphetamine leads to more amphetamine, and caffeine doesn't kill you near as quick as amphetamines... And there are FAR too many addictive personalitites and our society is so geared to "addiction" now8)... Imagine all the nuts at walmart at 5 in the morning scoring a pack of adderall8o. Kids are already all too often prescribed the shit IMO... Red Bull sucks as well as any other energy drink, they make my chest tight and my mood sour:p. I like them with JAGERMEISTER though... Jager Bomb!!! :D

I'm not for OTC amphetamines...

Who's advocating what exactly? This is a harm reduction website, not just a lounge of stoned enthusiasts.

...we already tried it, and people came out a bit messy. Seems like amphetamine abuse really does mess with the mind for the worse. Should they be easy for a student to get before a test? Maybe, sure. Should they be just as easy to get a long term prescription for, or snatchable over the counter? Maybe not.

Other than that, I feel amphetamine is pretty appropriately regulated at the moment.

Caffine on the other hand is fucking horrible. I like it sometimes but only for a minute, then it's all downhill for the rest of the day.

At least them damn kids would get off there fat fucking asses and work. And must you have so many God damned smileys in one post?
 
im prettty sure its just the taurine in it, i used to take it in tablet form with vitamins and no doz three times a day during prolonged benders or when im not eating properly and the rush just from a 500 mg taurine tablet(a third off wats in redbull) and a few no doz or gurana tablet is quite noticable. almost feels like having snort it, it happens that fast. i also used to mix shit quality meth with taurine to make it into more powdery/chalky form for snorting lines off when a couldn't enjoy a nice pipe off good stuff.
taurine is amazing stuff by the sound, helps with add, liver repair and many other things. if you believe the fact sheet that comes with it.
i stopped it cause someone told me it could be a exceptionly bad idea to snort it, couldn't find anything out about it so stopped anyway. anyone got any thoughts?

taurine is a monomer of more complex molecules used in digestion. As far as anyone in this conversation is interested it is an AMINO-ACID (monomers of protein) it isn't exactly, but for conversational purposes it may as well be.

Your body does not use it directly for energy in any way shape or form.

I don't know a lot compared to lots of people who study these things, but I am sick and tired of this propaganda. It is the caffeine in the gurana/nodoz getting up "up" and the rush is placebo.

Listen to yourself... Why must you be so vulgar and ignorant... You advocate dosing kids up with amphetamines to get them off their fat asses to work... I didn't touch the shit and was driving tractors 10hrs a day when i was 12... They might do some work if their parents (people like you) weren't dope fucked and negative, and why all the smilies, because I felt like it...=D=D=D=D=D=D

And why do you fucking care if I curse? Stop taking what I say so serious. Jesus christ.
