[TgerFoxMark]

Ive had to have my stomach pumped from caffeine before. wont do that again.

Had two large cans of beer with caffeine in it (yes I know), felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest.

beer with caffeine in it

How did it taste, who makes it, and how do I get it?

EDIT: Google-fu applied. http://coffeetea.about.com/od/caffeine/a/buzzbeer.htm . Which brand was it? The Anheuser-Busch version, unsurprisingly, looks horrible.
DOUBLE EDIT: Moonshot is at my local liquor store. Well, I know what I'm trying.

This may be a bit off the topic, but I remember seeing a video about the effect caffeine had on the web building abilities of spiders.
Instead of organized symmetrical webs, they were erratic in construction.
Interesting stuff, at least to me.
But I am sure it gives a little insight to the constant effects it may have on humans.
I know it also tends to lead to dehydration faster, when you drink caffeine beverages. Keep in mind that there is a lethal dose to caffeine.

Was this the video?

Just saw something on a Webcomic I was reading... Home brew beer made with mountain dew concentrate syrup... Maybe mix a little orange flavoring in with it...

Makes you wonder why drinks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_(drink) are allowed on the market.

Then again I'm assuming 280 mg of caffeine in one hit is unhealthy and dangerous purely because the drink was banned down-under until they lowered the amount of caffeine in it.


(three and a half times the caffeine of Red Bull)

From an ALS point of view, is there besides constant monitoring and transport that you can do?

Would it even be an ALS call?

Check out 4Loco. Flavored. 12% alcohol in about a 22oz can. Very cheap. But I warn you now....Don't go for that 2nd one. It will be the worst hangover you've ever had! :wacko:

Interesting that this comes up now that I'm weaning myself off of caffiene. It had gotten to the point where I could hardly function and get gnarly headaches if I didn't have any coffee or some other caffienated beverage within about an hour of waking up.

I was bad, I'd brew a pot of coffee in the morning, have a Monster at lunch, a couple sodas throughout the day, if I didn't I got extremely fatigued and the headaches, oh God they're bad.

I'm down to just a couple cups of coffee in the morning, which I don't think I'll give up any time soon h34r:

I'm trying the same thing. But I just did it all at once. Made the first few overnight shifts hard, but I'm feeling much better
