Well gee, no goddamn fucking shit. What's the max?
2 cans daily?
Not to mention the cost, how goddamn stupid can someone be?
I used to drink a liter of V a day for a couple months, wasn't good.
She'll have shitloads of fun weaning off that, providing she doesn't die.
WHERE IS HER FACE SO I CAN POUND NAILS INTO IT!

I once tried to live on nothing but Jelly tips and beer.

I got fatter.

So I added fish burgers to the menu.

Perfection.

Didn't William Reid try a similar diet with McEwans and boiled eggs?

Sounds like a pretty expensive habit.

I went off caffeine cold turkey once, for a fortnight, in 2004.

Splitting headaches, tremors, nausea. It was bad. Took almost a week to come right.

Another week of cold turkey livin' after that, I tried a cup of coffee. It was like taking amphetamine. Jesus.

Anyhoo, I eventually eased back into regular caffeine use. Can't operate without it when you have two toddlers to look after.

But I keep my daily intake under 200g or so now. A four-shot espresso in the morning is usually the sum of it.

It may not be 'addictive', depending on how you define that word (presumably Red Bull's PR department has a very special definition for it) but one certainly forms a physiological dependence on and tolerance to caffeine, and withdrawal from regular heavy use is painful and debilitating.

A young chap at work managed to "aquire" a tray of red bull.
He declared that he would drink it all, then proceeded to slurp away the whole day.
At the end of the day he had managed to down twelve. Then continued on the rest of the tray the next day.

200 grams? Of caffeine... Jebus, you've got some serious tolerance brewing here. :shit:

She's still ugly too.

I didn't know it was an appetite suppressant! But I can't stand the stuff so I'll have to stay 'cuddly'! I tried a can once and could only stomach a mouthful - way, way too sweet and sickly for my liking. Same goes for all the other so-called energy drinks.

Chortle. Well spotted. Should've been an extra 'm' in that post. I have no desire to commit suicide by caffeine.
