    I remember when we 1st got red bull cola. Had a couple of cans and didnt think it was having any effect. Ended up drinking 6 cans in the space of a couple hours. Spent the rest of the night convinced I was a lollypop :(

    I've a dodgy heart, but drank three bottles of caffeine a day a fortnight ago while studying for exams, and had no major side effects, much to my surprise.

    Had three red bulls at my mate's on Saturday- ended up barely able to breathe, and throwin up. I'd take a big breath, and then for a few seconds not breathe at all, until my mate shook me.

    Caffeine is indeed a bastard.

    Hah. Caffeine's never had an effect on me... I drink loads and I still sleep like the dead.

    Speed works so much better.

    i dont really drink any caffinated drinks except the odd time i use red bull as mixer


  • Registered Users Posts: 656 ✭✭✭Richard Cranium


    I drink between 7 and 10 mugs of coffee a day. I have a feeling it's not all that healthy, but feck it. I'll cut down after the leaving cert. Right now I am drinking coffee actually. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep.:pac:

    Coffee doesn't have too much of an effect on me. Red bull either, I drank four cans the other day and all I got was a brief rush of energy.

    Ah sweet sweet caffeine - it's what makes getting out of bed during college hours worthwhile.

    Cup of tea on the hour every hour.

    Not a tea or coffee drinker but I do drink Coca-Cola regularly (read: too much). It does keep me up a bit if I ever drink any before going to bed. Mostly because I have to keep getting up to go to the toilet. :pac:

    Trying to give me energy is like trying to put out the sun with a garden hose.

    I can drink piles of red bull, burn, coffee, whathaveyou and still sleep like a snorlax after eating a farm.

    Jolt was better before they had to change it and put in less caffine and sugar. About 9/10 years ago the stuff would send you on a sugar bender for a week

    I'm generally pretty immune to caffeine and sugar, (I get a grande cappo with two extra shots whenever I go to starbucks) But, after two weeks in the Gaeltacht with nothing but a cup of tea every two nights mam came and took me to Galway. I had two of my cappos and didn't sleep that night. I was giggling all the way back in the car. Quite enjoyable actually.

    I was just gonna ask, what kind of coffee do ye drink?? I've never liked coffee, but i'd love to get into it! :) Especially because I'm going into leaving cert next month and could do with the boost! I can drink a mocha latte because its like hot chocolate, but thats about it!

    If you have a coffee maker/a french press in you house, a bag of ground coffee will net you a tasty wee brew.

    Coffee (Kinda like beer) is sort of an acquired taste, but at this stage, I really really like it.

    I want coffee now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I live on caffeine... lots of coffee and Coke Zero every day. I should probably try and kick that habit, I've been a caffeine addict for about 11 years now!
