Energy Drinks

[Shorty]

smurfing suck.

How do you keep yourself awake? This isn't specifically a food thread, so it's not going in QK.

I generally go with coffee. If someone can get me excited or super enthused about something that interests me, too (or if they piss me off, that works too) I tend to wake up pretty quickly.

The fastest I ever got my ass out of bed was when I woke up in the middle of the night to find my bedroom absolutely engulfed in smoke. Turns out my dumbass roommate left the burners on in the kitchen with some hot dogs that nearly caught our house on fire at 2am.

What wakes you up when you need it and what crazy situations have you been woken up in the you had to snap out of it ASAP?

I love Redbull Blue Edition. I chug like four a day when I'm at work.

My hearts going to a'splode.

Caffeine does nothing for me; I hate coffee and I hate energy drinks. When I'm sleepy the only thing that can save me is willpower.

Yeah, like I ever need help staying awake.

I usually smoke a fat crack rock. It works. Just stay hydrated and brush yo teeth. You'll be aight.

No really though, coffee and any other highly caffeinated drinks have an opposite effect on me. I break out in cold sweats & get the shakes & then I wanna go to sleep.

Unsweetend ice tea or Diet Coke (from Mickey D's) is about all the caffeine I can handle. I usually just suffer through it though and force myself to be "awake & peppy"

Heavily caffeinated soda.

I just stay awake. It's rare that I have trouble staying awake. I can get really tired but if I want to stay up, I just power through it, I guess.

The easiest way for me to remain awake is to be on the phone to friends or family. I just get really happy when I'm talking with people, I guess. The more I care about them and the less often I see them, the more adrenaline will just keep me going.

As a last resort, yeah, sugary or caffienated juice/soda drinks can do it.

Dreaming I have overslept wakes me up like nothing else.

I get hyper and horny as hell when I have one of these. I can go for hours. I feel like this drink was made with me in mind.

[Faris]

Coffee and will power.

Energy drinks will give you the sweet satisfaction of type 2 diabetes shortly before you die of cardiac arrest.

I drink a few cups of black coffee a day to get some pep in my step, but I try not to go too crazy on the caffeine, especially since I found out I have a heart condition. When I had a LAN party recently, I drank a large coffee after a tall boy of Mountain Dew and had about 15 minutes where I wasn't sure if I was going to die or not. So I've tried to take it easy.

There there. If you don't already know, I will not tell you. Such innocence shouldn't be messed with.

Let's just say.. You -don't- wanna know what it is, much less someone who's ever been a um. habitual user of the stuff. It isn't pretty.

I know she means crack. I just haven't heard of the phrase 'smoke a fat crack rock'.

I have now been educated thanks to Google.
