Caffeine ahoy!

[omarfw]

Pointless thread but I'm bored.

What's your favorite energy drink/caffeine source and what's the most caffeine you've ever ingested in one sitting?


My favorite is NoS. (i'm drinking that right now actually) Mostly because it's effective and it doesn't taste like caffeine (which is what ruins other drinks for me). other then that I just enjoy coffee.

I wouldn't say this was the most i've ever drank but I accidentally drank two cans of NoS one time. I bought two of them to drink one and save one for later, cept I accidentally sat on one of them and put a hole in the side so I drank it out the side.

Then I opened the can of NoS I didn't sit on since I was planning on doing so in the first place before sitting on the last one.

It didn't occur to me that I had already drank one since I didn't drink it normally. don't ask that's just how my add brain of mine runs lol
Then I realized "oops. i just drank both." then the jitters started

1 cup of coffee=50 mg of caffeine. 1 can of NoS=260 mg of caffeine

so roughly 2 cans of NoS=10.4 cups of coffee

I felt like a car was coming at me every 5 seconds, and i was inside a dairy queen :/

and if you've watched futurama, yes it's true that if you drink 100 cups of coffee you gain temporary super speed.

12 Starbucks Venti Sumatra's, black. That's the most caffeine I've ever ingested in one sitting. There was nice scenery behind the counter, it encouraged me to hang around for a while. (Plus, I eventually got to nail one of them.)

I was in intense pain for hours after I got home, though. From the coffee, not the girl.

Probably a Coke.

I don't do Caffeine.

Coffee, as dark a bean as I can get it. With cream and sugar

I think the most coffee I've downed, in a 60 some odd hour, no-sleep bender...18 cups in your standard B&D Coffee Maker? Something like that. I average probably 5 cups a day, easy.

[insert Mentat's mantra here]

Whenever I sit down to get deep into something, gaming, design, work, writing....I've always got a mug near me.

I drank a Monster BFC in about an hour while on duty. Thought my ****ing heart was gonna burst out of my chest and do a 3 mile run.

Just for reference and a word of advice: Don't buy the ****ing thing unless you want to expeirence a heart attack.

I must have gotten lucky, I missed the whole power drink craze. Trying NoDoze in high school quickly taught me how bbbbaaaaadddddd a caffeine overdose feels.

I don't do Caffeine.

An oxymoron, perhaps?

I used to be a coke-aholic. After 40+ years of coke-itus, I am now caffeine free and loving every moment of it.

I like coffee strong and black, so turkish/espresso is the thing for me, possibly with a minute dash of milk just for smoothness.

Can't stand energy drinks though, just makes me dizzy and my heart race. You guys drinking lots of it, or lots of coffee, are nuts - it's not good for you

The sickly sweet smell of Battery just makes me gag, how people can mix it with vodka as a party drink is beyond me.

Fresh brewed not too fancy. I like my senseo automat. We stoped useing a normal machine since we allways ended up with too much too strong coffee.

I guess its around 3-4 bigger cups of coffee opposed to around 1 -2 liters from some years back.

I hate energy drinks tho. They make my heart race, sweatty hands ect. Mixing them with alcohol is a deathtrap. The room just keeps spinning without you beign able to sleep...

BATTERY FTW!

Kossubattery also ftw.

Anyway, I think it's not as sweet as red bull or the like.

This is a thread which you can only win by admitting to mainlining 250mg of pure methamphetamine sulphate.

So, I prefer to lose in a thread like this, although I do have a 3 can a day Dr Pepper habit. Plays merry hell on my keyboard when I spill it

I like to fuel my all-nighters with tea, and lots of it. Theres no such thing as a tea maker though so I have to make it the old fashioned way, with a kettle and a teabag.

I don't drink anything with caffeine, I loose this thread, but I win in health =)

Shouldn't that be "Not assssssssssssssss muuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccchhhhh as bushmilllllllllss does..........."?

@mamoo - yes there is, it's your mum

 

[Peter.Steele]

Come on, folks. Just get a G15. It's spill-proof.


Major factor in my picking it. I like to go gaming a little toasted.

Red Bull was banned from sale in Norway for a long time because it contained way over the legal dose of caffeine in foodstuffs, as well as taurine, which was illegal. They sell it now because they removed most of it in the version imported here.

You guys addicted to caffeine should try Ginseng - it really helps you not get tired. I've been to all-night houseparties subsisting only on ginseng and lots of water, and not felt tired for one bit - couldn't even sleep after getting home to bed about 10 in the morning lol

We got frisked by the cops at a party once and they found my "drug-type" capsules, I had a really hard time convincing them it was only ginseng. Cop had to open and smell it to make sure

I don't waste Bush Mills (or Black Bush) for gaming. That's cheap bourbon and coke ... in bulk quantities.

I've put probably a pint of whisky/ey through mine at various times over the past 4 years or so. Never had a problem with it.
