yeah I see kids drinking red bull & its usual competitors all the time,i went to lunch with my 12 year old and a good portion of them at lunch were drinking redbull.
come on, you trying to tell me it's an energy drink's fault if a kid doesn't wear a condom before screwing, or decides to go party and do some hardcore drugs? pfft...Toxic jock’ behavior
In March, The Journal of American College Health published a report on the link between energy drinks, athletics and risky behavior. The study’s author, Kathleen Miller, an addiction researcher at the University of Buffalo, says it suggests that high consumption of energy drinks is associated with “toxic jock” behavior, a constellation of risky and aggressive behaviors including unprotected sex, substance abuse and violence.
True. There's nothing to do about it. I've been there, done that. When you grow up, you learn from your mistakes. Everyone did stupid things in their youths. From drugs to unprotected sex... So I don't think caffeine in an energy drink should be a concern.as forest gump once said "stupid is as stupid does"
teens have been doing crazy reckless sh*t forever, from abusing energy drinks to driving cars too fast! it's all the hormones and they don't listen anyway, some just have to burn to learn and some just burn.
in a perfect world everyone would have time to sit down and eat at least 3 times a day, get plenty of rest and at least 8 hours of sleep. you are 18, enjoy it while you can. caffeine is not a replacement for proper diet, sleep, and rest, but todays world makes demands on us that don't always allow for this. what caffeine does do is allow you to be more focused and alert when diet and sleep requirements aren't met.High amounts of caffeine is obviously unhealthy. I still don't understand why people drink caffeine at all. If you need extra energy then you need to look at your diet, your exercise, or the amount of sleep you get. Caffeine shouldn't be a necessary part of anyone's day.
The fact that parents are so worried about their teenagers smoking pot and then let them down 3 redlines a day is just absurd.
try some reset, helps me keep doses low with increased effect. also gives me a boost when i am stim free, which isn't often. reset has really helped me out.My sleep is simply disrupted too much to use it any longer. I'm not very sensitive to stimulants in terms of effects (no jitters, shakes, etc.,) but my sleep is very sensitive.
I have some on me, I will try it. As I said, I can handle stimulants wonderfully. I could easily pound 3 of the 24oz Rockstars at once (usually drank two in a row) with absolutely no issue. When it comes to sleep though, that is another issue!try some reset, helps me keep doses low with increased effect. also gives me a boost when i am stim free, which isn't often. reset has really helped me out.
hey mullet, i know powerful helps me to sleep better. guess what so does reset. try taking one before bed. lots of times ive over-stimmed at work to make it through an overtime shift, went home and took a reset. out goes the light. give it a try, bro.I have some on me, I will try it.

what do you suggest we do, ban all caffeine containing drinks because a few teens are and will abuse them. name me something that teens won't abuse? like b-unit said kids will burn and learn or just burn, you can't protect them from themselves. they are too clever and have easy access to anything they want. a more noble cause would be responsible, sober teen driving. imo i am much more concerned about a drunk kid at the wheel than one drinking a redbull.Well think about the burnout effect these drinks are going to have on these kids over time. They are keeping their bodies in a state of "overdrive" day and night, probably dont sleep much at all, push their bodies to their limits, and drink more. Add in the fact they probably dont eat healthy *DUH* and by the time these kids are 25 their bodies wont be able to sustain a natural energy withou the used of stims all day long. Heart damage, weakend blood vessels, their stomach lineing gets screwed up permamently....
I mean I like an occasional "Monster Java Russian" mostly for the delicious taste, but thats like once every 2 months.
And yes I believe a kid who feels like he could last 20 rounds with Ali in the ring would probably do something along the lines of *stupid*.
Not to mention the increased risk of diabetes and other health issues these drinks pose.
I take RPM, but because I am building my body, and trying to improve myself...not because its available and easy to use.
This seems simple, and you might call someone and idiot an laugh at them when they vomit up their latest energy drink. But its basically running *NOS* (not the drink per say, but it is included in this list) through their *engine*.... without proper rebuilding its gona blow out...
AND in recent news teens using Supplements(such as we do) have beeing dropping dead from anurisms, heart attacks, they have been blowing arteries.....
Good thing Spike only comes in 8oz cans, shock journalist. 285mg of caffeine. AND they say not to exceed one can a day.Spike Shooter contains 428 milligrams of caffeine in 12 ounces
i guess you've never seen the new spike bottle, it comes in a 16oz.Good thing Spike only comes in 8oz cans, shock journalist. 285mg of caffeine. AND they say not to exceed one can a day.
Kids will try anything. Always have. Always will. Caffeine abuse, Steroid abuse, Jenkin (just disgusting), and The Gallon Challenge (nobody wins) just to name a few.
Nope. It's 2 servings though right? Kinda like how Endorush lists one bottle as being 4 servings. That's crazy.i guess you've never seen the new spike bottle, it comes in a 16oz.
if the worst thing a teenager does is drink a energy drink, consider it a success. i grew up in the 70's and believe me we did a lot worse than drink caffeine.The energy drinks themselves are not horrendously bad. Most of them have B-vitamins, Ginseng, L-Cartinine, Taurine, primarly amino acids and herbal extracts.
There's one called 'Kronik' it has milk thistle and glucosamine.
It is interesting to see the different ingredients in them. Assuming you get a sugarfree drink, the worst thing is it is the caffiene.
No I dont say ban em.

I work at a supplement store in a mall that sells endorush, and a couple of days ago a woman who must have been about 75-80 came in and tried to buy one. She could barely even walk to the cash to try and buy it. It was the first time I've ever actually refused to sell something to someone.Nope. It's 2 servings though right?

You should have given it to her for free if she would agree to drink it in front of you.I work at a supplement store in a mall that sells endorush, and a couple of days ago a woman who must have been about 75-80 came in and tried to buy one.

that made me laugh-reminded me of 'granny' clampet and her rheumatism medicine. i can see her hopping over the counter and giving you a big ole hickey. hahahahaha. damn, i got a good laugh thinking about that.:toofunny::toofunny::toofunny::toofunny:You should have given it to her for free if she would agree to drink it in front of you.
the whole granny clampit thing, damn that would make a great commercial. can't help it, the picture of granny jumping over the counter and planting a big one on ya is cracking me up. my wife keeps asking me 'whats wrong with you' hahaha hahaha gonna give myself a heart attack. hahaha ok im rolling on the floor now hahaha:toofunny::toofunny::toofunny::toofunny:haha, yeah if someone was barely alive, I'd tell her she could have for free, but she'd have to drink the whole bottle in front of me in 20 seconds. Hehe.
:jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw:You should have given it to her for free if she would agree to drink it in front of you.
nonono don't ruin my vision of granny hoping over the counter and planting one on you. man i haven't laughed so hard forever. oh man, im losing it:toofunny::toofunny::toofunny::toofunny:Probably what would happen is she'd drink the bottle and comment how the flavor tasted, probably the whole bottle too.
Then in about 15 minutes grandma would get 'wide-eyed', fall on the ground gasping for air and shaking like a diabetic with a seizure.
All caught on tape and later put on youtube.
This is my rendition anyways of how it would go down.
sorry i got carried away. you did a good thing.Actually, after I talked to her, I realized that she had somehow come to the conclusion it was going to help relieve her of pain she had in her arm since she had broken it. Her English wasn't great, but I think I was able to convey that suicide wasn't the best way to get rid of the pain.
where are the parents?:woohoo:
No I dont say ban em. But the idea of not allowing kids to use them is a good thought.
I mean soda started this whole thing.
America is all about freedom. What people forget is most people are too stupid to use that freedom responsibly. lol.
