    Whilst saving for my trip I was working 60 - 70 and sometimes even 80 hour weeks working two jobs which pretty much meant split shifts...

    Often when I felt like death a red bull would have me feeling like a million bucks again.

    I know they are bad for me sometimes it was all that kept me going.

    since then I have learnt there are ways to get natural stimulants like gaurana without all the nasty other stuff.

    the main thing I learnt though was.....

    to never ever work that bloody hard again
    then you don't need the rubbish

    For the last twenty or so years I have only drunk water, tea and coffee.
    coco cola is a very good toilet cleaner on stubborn stains.

    Most of the time I just get a buzz by talking to myself.
    Gets a bit lopsided when I just try to listen.

    Much the same as Olbod, tea, coffee (maximum of 1 a day), fruit juices and water are all I drink. Don't like Coke or many soft drinks, and I could never fathom the need for "energy drinks".

    Mother, Red Bull, V, all those kind of drinks I can't understand why people would want to drink them, with the huge amount of sugar and caffeine in a single can. Each to their own, I guess.

    The side effect caused by d-glucuronolactone and taurine, two ingredients in Red Bull and other poison drinks it is nothing new.
    Back in 2003 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have an opinion and about this 2 ingredients and in 2009 was well known that taurine was harmful to the brain and d-glucuronolactone on the kidneys.
    If these drinks are mixed with alcohol then it can be deathly

    Watch out for the fruits juices, just as much sugar in commercial juice as Coca-Cola: Apple juice as sugary as Coca-Cola, experts warn

    For a second I thought that said Middle Age Mullet and I was truly terrified.
    I'll be okay, I'm considerably more healthy in my eating habits now than a few years ago, and I'm not a heavy drinker, I don't smoke, etc.
    I'll enjoy it for now

    You'll grow a mullet to try and look younger, too, guaranteed.
