"Full Throttle" energy drink

[IGotWorms 4,058]

So when I do a lot of studying I tend to drink a fair amount of caffeine. We're talking coffee, Mountain Dew, Coke, etc. Basically, a lot of stuff that I shouldn't be drinking.

 

Well, a nearby vending machine has an energy drink called "Full Throttle." Normally I just get Red Bull, but alas, that is not an option at said vending machine. This "Full Throttle" stuff boasts to have 3000 mg of caffeine, guarana, taurine, carnitine, ginseng, and sucrose. Near as I can tell, that is 3000 mg altogether (as opposed to 3000 mg each). I don't know much about these things or how much of this stuff is in your typical energy drink, but it still seems like a lot to me.

 

So my question is this: can I expect to drop dead of a heartache before the age of 40 from drinking this stuff? Let's just disregard the boozing and unhealthy eating habits for the purposes of this discussion.

Yea it will kill ya. But you gotworms anyway. Your gonna go sometime.

It won't kill you, but you'll focking wish it had. That stuff tastes awful and makes you able to feel your heartbeat in every fingertip. Stick to RedBull or just get a bottle of water and be a normal person.

This is somewhat better than the "Let's hope so" response that I was expecting! :banana:

Take a bunch of sweet tarts, liquefy them, and drink. That's pretty much what it tastes like.

I drink Nos a lot, pretty much the most potent energy drink out there, at first it kind of made me sick. I guess my body is use to the extreme caffeine and taurine and what not, and i do think Nos taste good, basically like Mountain Dew...just not quite as good as Mountain Dew. However, they are hard to find for some reason. I live in a college town so there is basically any kind of energy drink sold at any store, but, when i go back home i can never find it. From what i hear Full Throttle tastes nasty, try an MDX or something.

Why? Because it has a cool bottle? All the "energy drink ratings" pages don't have it in their top 10. I've tried it, but didn't like the taste. Plus, it has lots of calories (sugar).

 

 

 

5 hour energy is consistently near the top.

 

As far as big-can drinks (vs. energy shots), I prefer Rockstar (white can).

Full Throttle is indeed sh!t. It tastes terrible (likening it to liquified sweet tarts is being too nice) and it completely jacked up my stomach. I'm sticking to Red Bull from here on out (though I have never tried 5 hr energy...I'll probaby check it out soon).

That stuff packs the most punch. If you're actually going for energy, that stuff is the way to go.

Energy drinks are poison. At one of the conferences I attended last year, a research psychologist gave a speech on work he's been doing. I already knew that pop and energy drinks were horrible for you, which is why I don't drink either, but I had no idea just how bad. It was unreal.

There are energy drink ratings pages? Hmm, might have to check those out... Nos is the drink that gives me the most energy, 3000 mg of taurine in 16oz. Most energy drinks do nothing for me.

 

As far as it being poisoning...what do you think alcohol is?
