*yawn* I was drinking tonnes of the stuff, not red bull but V. A drug like any requires you to have enough self control to see those sort of things and realise you it's unhealthy. It's not necessarily the mass amounts of caffiene that's being consumed but the way caffiene affects people differently and the severe lack of anything else in her diet that's bound to cause problems. No vitamins no carbohydrates no iron no protein, there is obviously going to be problems there.

I was drinking 6 bottles, or 8 cans of the stuff give or take at a day at one time, more then that and I would start to get caffiene 'jitters'. I have a friend you is a dietician and she was outraged when I told her, then she read the labels one day and called me up and said "You know, it's not actually THAT bad, it's not good, but if your not drinking coffee and you sugar levels elsewhere are ok, then it's really not that as bad as I thought".

I have since cut it down to 2 a day, mainly becuase it's really expensive. You also have to keep in mind that caffiene decreases it's effects as you consume a lot of it. The amount of people that are quiet able to drink 15-20 cups of coffee are day are incredibly common.

all these years - getting up in the morning without the benefit of chemicals.


staying awake at meetings is a challenge though

I never tried an "energy" drink. I get my energy from Hops, Barley & Malt.
