| So yesterday I had an energy drink for the first time in my life (I'm 20.9 years old.) I've been mostly clean from caffeine for the past several years, having some only when I absolutely need to stay up e.g. for school. I don't do alcohol, pot, or anything like that. I didn't get enough sleep the night before and was trying to be productive, working on a programming project with some friends, and I just didn't have the energy... so I asked my pal to recommend me an energy drink. I had a Nos, which apparently has 7 or 8 times the caffeine of a mountain dew. I didn't read the label until it was almost half gone. The stuff smells vile and tastes like especially sour piss, but for some reason it's hard to stop drinking it once you start. It makes you wake up, and feel like shit. After three hours of being alert but still working through a mental fog, I started to get shakes and blurred vision, trouble focusing my eyes. Shortly thereafter I lost my sense of balance almost completely and my stomach began to burn. Luckily I was sitting down, so the sensation of being seated on the wall or the ceiling didn't cause me to fall or anything. At four hours we went to get dinner, and I almost fell down every flight of stairs on the way to the car. Of course I wasn't driving, that would have been a terrible idea. The mix cd I made for this car sounded amazing, like nothing before. I felt blue behind my eyes and a strange detachment from my ears, as though they were several feet from my head. Shakes stopped everywhere but in my upper lip. But then just as the cruel chemical cocktail was leaving my nervous system, I got to eat some decent Chinese food and get warm and full. So I felt amazing. An hour later I crashed and passed out. I basically don't recommend it, but at least I have a story to tell about it. |

| Caffeine? I hate caffeine! I drink sprite, but that's the only soda I drink. :'/ ____________________  Rawr. |

I have an occasional Lo-Carb Monster drink. I like to call it my "Adult Beverage" as I only have it once in a while.  I love the taste of it, but I know it won't be a special drink if I have it a lot, so there. ____________________ |

I haven't tried NOS, but the one energy drink I did have once (which name I forget entirely, it was green and didn't taste very good) didn't really have much of an effect on me at all... but I drink a lot of soda and stuff, so maybe I've built up an immunity to the stuff.

| Me and my little bro have an inside joke that the (green?) soda that Sam drinks in the 'Through the Fire and Flames' video speeds up perception, that's why he's able to solo like he does... ____________________ Rawr. |

| Yeah, going from zero to nos in half an hour was a bad idea. It would have been obvious at the time, had I not been so damn tired. That's how they get you. |

I guess I was just never really into caffeinated beverages. I got through an entire night and a day with no sleep thanks a single bottle of BAWLS once, though. My friend gave it to me. That's back when I was a total fucking insomniac though. In the battle with insomnia, I've won.
I'm thinking of getting into coffee the way winetasters are into wine. Coffee will be my drink to pretend I'm classy and I'll only have it at cute little coffee shops where they serve the drinks in little coffee cups. While I'm there, maybe I'll smoke a Parliament cigarette with my coffee so it'd be like I'm in Jim Jarmusch's 2003 short film compilation Cigarettes and Coffee. Fair trade, of course, or bust. ____________________ βSofi |

| Caffeine is not for me. I generally dislike sodas and especially coffee. Give me some apple/mango/orange/cranberry/etc.. juice. |
