I like to consume energy drinks in order to get me ready to throw at a meet. However, to get enough in my system to actually start doing somethin requires that i fill my stomach with fluid, which is bad.

I was wondering if it were at all possible to boil it down in order to concentrate the good stuff, so i dont have to injest so much fluid

The energy drinks basically use up as much fluid as you consume. Don't sweat it, literally

Chris, you need to buy gels. You still need to consume water, but you can control it.

I like Clif Shot or Hammer Gel.

what are gels? the best scenario has been to consume this stuff called "Redline" made by VPX, but i usually borrow that from my teammate

other than that its red bull or SoBes and it takes like 5 cans to spur me up

are gels some kinda pill?

Gels are basically a gel, in a packet.



They are concentrated form of electrolytes and carbs, usually for endurance racing.

If you're looking for the caffeine boost, you can get Powergel Double Caffeine (from Powerbar).

theres this new stuff, well not sure how new, called 5 hour energy. its like a shot size of drink. suppose to take minutes to kick in and lasts for hours.

which would be a lie, there is no way your body can absorb anything that quickly through your digestive system. only way is to inject.

blow some glass

2/2/2006 9:22:49 PM

so would u guys think boiling down a redbull to be safe or unsafe?

i dont want to try and die because it burns through my guts or something

i cant find anything about it online or anything

just take caffeine pills if that's what you're going for

Balco Labs

haha

you're talking bout cracking out red-bull

2/2/2006 10:01:33 PM

Drink it normally, ding dong, don't risk burning a hole in your stomach. the Ingredients will consume the liquid in the can, and then some from the after effects.

PYREX FULL OF CRACKRED BULL

VPX is an ephedra free 'fat burner' loaded w/ Caffeine and Yohimbine. You could just pop a shit load of Epehdrine from exxon or something

2/2/2006 10:34:21 PM

just do the ole hockey trick and take 16 sudafed

2/2/2006 10:36:54 PM

^ agreed....that shit gets you going

2/2/2006 10:42:59 PM

ok ill do that, but now im just curious

2/3/2006 12:13:57 AM

if you eat the gels, make sure you drink plenty of water with them...

2/3/2006 12:21:20 AM

Also, FYI, boiling can denature certain organic compounds.

Wait, why couldn't you just use Adderall?

It's not going to show up on a drug test unless you're tested for each meet (I assume you're not).

jeez man,
just throw without an energy drink or if you must, drink 1!!! you make it sound like your nothing without the 5 energy drinks, which i assume isnt true, so just clear your head with thoughts of "needing" energy drinks and psych yourself up bro!!!

2/3/2006 5:26:04 AM

2/3/2006 3:20:23 PM

god damn! no wonder you need "energy" drinks... you even seem to be incapacitated mentally without them.

2/3/2006 4:34:56 PM

ok so that was a dumb question lol

i was gonna edit it but i was like "fuck it", i dont trust pills cuz they seem more likely to have traces of banned substances than do beverages
