Sounds like the same genetic makeup as the person who put a styrofoam cup filled with hot coffee between their legs.
If he had died I think he most definately would get a Darwin Award.:bgrin2:

ROFL! What do you mean coffee is hot!! :tongue2:

kinda gives me the jitters reading this.


First time i had to go to the ER after having a red bull. I only had one and it wasn't the sole reason of my having to go but with all the stress and the bad state my body was in...the red bull definitely didn't help. Needless to say I haven't had one since.

btw, the myspace page looks good.:D

i've drank red bull for years without any negative effect it was actually great for when i studied or attended lectures. My body just can't take it anymore...especially espresso. Wish i could though...it really was a great help in school.

My daughter is forbidden to drink any "energy" drink, Mountain Dew esp the diet kind, and most sodas.
The stuff is evil! JMHO!
I do think these so called energy drinks should only be allowed to be purchased by adults though!

i like redbull on its own , or redbull and vodka

I don't normally drink it, but when i wanna get a bit tipsy, redbull and vodka is fine, and i love the drinks taste. as for acting as a stimulant, i don't notice any difference.

all energy drinks make my lift my left eyebrow. they're sneaky and i dun trust 'em.
The hubby drinks those '5 hour' energy drinks and pretty much mainlines coffee. he works nights tho and has the most boogered sleep schedule.


and as an aside....someone knows what a Darwin Award is!!!
woot woot!
kudos grasshopper, kudos in spades :yes:

lol i didnt know there WAS a website.
i used to be the pO-pO and i met SO many candidates for that award.

ex: got a call one night that a man was threatening to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge.
My first thought was.....where's a bridge around here high enough to kill ya??

get to the address, dude's standing on a flower bed retainer threatening to jump!!! :rofl:

but he said he'd already suicided once so i'm not sure he would've felt the landing...what with already being dead n all *shrug*

Here ya go!

Anyway ixnay to energy drinks in our household. I've never even tasted one. I don't even like drinking coffee. I'm a tea person, mostly green tea. Also, neither of us drink caffeine very much, let alone use it to wake up in the mornings.

*lies on sofa*

I guess if I think about it, I have always been an energy drink junkie....it all started long ago when I was in middle school and drank Jolt! Cola...ah the memories...soon I found myself drinking Jolt upon Jolt upon Jolt...

Now I drink an assortment of energy drinks from Go Girl! Mountain Dews AMP, to RockStars, [B]Monsters[/B.

I know that when Clint is really tired he drinks what he calls "crack in a can", theyre tiny and have a warning label that you have to be 18 and over to drink, they card you when you buy it. Also youre suppose to drink half then a few hours later drink the other half. He drinks the whole thing.

Since I have been pregnant and since Im nursing...I dont drink energy drinks...but as soon as she's weaned let me tell you! lol

Though I do drink energy drinks on the weekend but the baby is bottled fed on the weekend.

Some energy drinks are high in carbs. Caffeine is a serious addiction and deletes your body's store vitamin C, so take extra vitamin C. Also, I've read that most of the energy drinks have high amounts of citric acid in their formulas which is bad for the enamel on your teeth and also can irritate your stomach, so use a straw when drinking them. Actually too much citric acid will give you stomach ulcers and is not good for anyone with acid reflux issues.

And I don't think it at all smart to mix Red Bull and alcohol. One website likened it to driving a car and pressing the gas pedal and the brake pedal at the same time.

Lots of my younger friends' drink of choice is Red Bull and vodka...yuk...

I cant do the energy drinks due to my high b/p. I have 2 cups of coffee per day and thats IT. No soda usually either. All that stuff is bad for ya, even the diet, but if youre young, you can still get away with it ;)
