the bummer news nirvava is the older you get the less and less effect things like caffine have.

for me caffine only does one thing. stops the HORRIBLE headache i get by 9AM if i DONT have any :rofl

as for sugar, i think that goes away really young too. hell i hate sweets now. i can barely eat cake with thick frosting, it is WAY too sweet and tastes disgusting. even plain chocolate tastes nasty to me.

I have heard that studies are being done to find a possible link to caffine consumption and nerve function later in life.  Also a possible link to Alziemhers.(spellcheck)  It has been already proven to affect how well insulin breaks down glucose I believe.

I should say that I am a heavy consumer of caffine!  So I really have no room to talk!  2 to 3 pots a day of Maxwell House!  It's good to the last drop, you know!

I drank 11 cups of coffee in 1 hr. That was only time caffine ever hyped me up more than I already am.

Don't worry Sandy, i'd go AF before i'd go Marines.



I don't really care about caffeine I don't recall ever getting the jitters from it.  If I lay off most sugar for a month I can get a sugar high but the tolerance builds at an extremely fast pace.

If im not mistaken spelnda is sugar with that one part removed so it can be broken down. Doesnt taste that bad in my opinion either.


Actually I saw a report on TV that told of a study recently done with Sugar and artificial sweeteners done on rats.

One group of rats were given sugar and another group were given the various artificial sweeteners.
It showed the rats that had eated the sweeteners consistantly ate twice as much food as the rats that were given plain sugar.

Though they admit they do not know if this has the same effect on humans.

Did you ever do crank? (speed)

Well thats what it feels like

Problem is, I never liked that feeling


I dont think it tastes like Redbull at all.
there is another one out there called "Full Throttle"
That tastes like carbonated margaritas only without the alcohol

take it easy at first and work your way into a routine for a few years.

This will probably land you a few dates.

Once the gym doesn't challenge you anymore go see a Marine Recruiter.  He will also help you with that dark mess on the top of your skull that you call a hair cut.

This will probaly land you a few more dates and give you the courage to have a purpouse in life.  ;)


Or see the local Navy recruiter. He/She will fix that mop on your head and you get alot more dates then any other branch would.
