Red Bull intake...

[Gackt]

Gackt you are living on borrowed time I would have thought

I always wanted to be a hero with some sort of inevitable doom hanging over them. Like John Constantine with his emphyzema, or Tony Stark with his faulty Arc Reactor or Jean-Luc Picard with his defective heart.

Unfortunately I don't have the good looks to pull it off, so will probably turn into one of those "down-and-out" street-level thugs with increasingly bizarre tattoos, rough facial hair and some sort of alcohol dependency.

That said, I do hope that in one of the cans, there will be some radioactive matter which I will consume and develop some sort of energy-drink, adrenaline superpower. Sugary death.

If I'm playing a gig I'll drink a can or two beforehand, and occasionally have it with vodka, but on it's own it tends to make me feel a bit rough so I generally avoid it.

two a month, now. I used to drink 1-2 cans a day for about a year but then i started to get really bad heartburn, so i cut it out and no longer get heartburn...

 

[Unicorn]

5 cans a week, Most of them are when im drunk and add vodka to it a lot. Gona kill me off when im 25

 

[The Halk]

If I need a boost I'll have some honey on toast, or a berocca or a very strong cup of assam tea.

I used to drink lots of vodka and red bull for years - perhaps 10 cans in a night. I got terrible hangovers and I've vowed never to touch it again.

Couple times a year tops.

I drink a lot of tea/coffee though. (All I drink really)

 

[cymatty]

Super strength coffee > red bull, so to answer the question, never.

There's a reason why people who drink "energy drinks" are so fat. Each can has the same carbs as a large bowl of pasta.

You dont really even need to go that far, anyone who buys them, should have a degree of laziness, thus they need a prop up to do anything active.

 

[Twentyone]

I probably have one or two cans a year.

Same. Some people at work have 2-3 during work hours and even more when they get home :/ + they have coffee!

 

[snowdog]

One can of cheap ''euroshopper'' energy drink a day usually.

Yeah, they eat and drink too much calories and burn too little.
Nothing to do with energy drink.


By your logic I'd be fat, but no I'm on the border of underweight, BMI of 19...


EDIT: I just remembered, I do drink a lot of Eristoff Red in the weekends, which is supposedly Energy drink+ Vodka.

The only energy drink worth having:

[Disco Boy]

About 10 cans of sugar free a day here, caffiene does nowt for me and i actually like the taste

10 cans of red bull per day?! That's a ridiculous amount of caffeine!

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Tell you what after 1 can of redbull after half an hour I can feel my heart beating fast, this stuff is horrible! Tastes lovely but not good for you.

If you put a heart monitor on and take some stats they are incredible.

Actually, it has quite a lot to do with energy drinks: a lot of people who drink them end up relying on them for 'energy', they crash and drink more, it's a vicious circle. Remember that most people put on weight through drinks and snacks, not through meals.

You may well be the exception to the rule, but everyone I have met who regularly drinks them has a gut the size of a large hernia.

You need to meet more people then good sir.

I've only ever had it on occaision when I was at uni on a night out, I bloody hate it. As such I just don't drink it. Horrid stuff!

I really can't imagine you on a night out in Uni, it blows my mind. I always thought you'd get drunk on the blood of the enemies driven before you, and the lamentation of their women.

How are you still alive?

 

[wannabedamned]

Yeah I never saw that. I'd like an explanation for my situation then please people. I'm losing fat by the boat load while drinking energy drinks daily. Surely I should be obese considering that conclusion?

Or you know, maybe there's a few more reasons behind gaining fat... Like not doing the exercise to burn off the calories
