Caffeine and its effects

Mystic Fibrosis · 03-09-2002 7:12pm #1

I was wondering, how does caffeine affect you when you drink/eat/rub it? (yes, rub. http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/caffeine/5a65.shtml )

Me, caffeine has no effect on me. Ive had 2 jolts, a mountain dew, a Arizona MX and A blue sky organic in the last half hour and I feel fine. I need to pee, but im fine.

Caffeine apperently intensifies the side affects of drugs, which i can believe....

qwidgybo · 03-09-2002 10:09pm

caffeine doesn't have a huge effect on me,neither does alcohol,i think,i can get hyper/silly all by my own self.

Crash · 03-09-2002 11:16pm

Caffeine has no effects whatsoever as i now have a huge immunity to it. i could probably OD pretty well by this point and be grand

Alcohol ahs mucho effectos on me

and i'm glad of it

It wasn't me! · 04-09-2002 2:27pm

Can have as much caffeine as I like without a high. I'm getting pretty pissed off because It now takes me at least 5 Red Bulls to get anywhere near high. Have you any idea what that is costing me since I like to be on a permanent one(must explain some of the stuff I've posted on this site). But is it right that I am completely immune to caffeine at the tender age of thirteen? If caffeine does anything to me these days it makes me sleepy! There's got to be something wrong with that at this stage of my life! Somebody help!!!!!!!

TheAlmightyArse · 04-09-2002 6:25pm

Caffeine? Pah, 'tis far too overrated, especially this "coffee" muck! Tea is the future! Yah! Your tea god!

shep the malevolent pixie · 04-09-2002 7:27pm

don't like coffee, don't like tea, do like coke but unfortunately it's made by a multinational corporation who are taking over open space by using imposing advertising to catch people's eye, and who are just plain evil. it sucks. me no like sobe or tigershot very much either. arg. i once stayed awake on very little sleep and lots of coke for a couple of weeks....but sven knows more about that than i do....
sHep :cool:

NeoSlicerZ · 04-09-2002 9:35pm

No effect whatsoever.

pretty*monster · 05-09-2002 6:36pm

caffeine=good
kate under the effects of caffeine=bad
i don't know when to say when and I have a tendency to go a little nuts

Saruman · 05-09-2002 6:46pm

used to love it!! Drank lots of tea and coffee.. however i stopped in feb for health reasons and have not looked back!! Have not had a headache since (though thats not why i stopped!)

claire h · 05-09-2002 7:08pm

Never liked coffee, occasionally drink coke (which makes me hyper and act drunken-like), need tea and cannot function without it. Except during CTYI, for some odd reason. (Unless it's because the excessive consumption of chocolate as breakfast food.) But apart from that, go all cranky and evil and set out on murderous rampages without it.

Caffeinated soap?!?

Mystic Fibrosis · 05-09-2002 7:12pm

yes.

Go on ICQ and stay. PLEASE. We need to talk and I cna't txt you.

It wasn't me! · 05-09-2002 8:08pm

So it seems that at the current time the entire population of the country(or at least CTYI) is immune to caffeine in all its wondrous forms. Any one else immune to any other low-class drugs/addictive substances.

At the age of 13 alcohol has a huge effect on me and I only need a small bit to knock me for six. My friend drank 2 staight tumblers of 43% whiskey and could still walk in a straight line for a hundred yards. Impressive!:D

alaskagirl · 06-09-2002 12:43am

coffee makes me sleepy. i dont know why. it always has. i dont need it anyways, im hyper most of the time anyways!

Em, was that both of them straight down and straight away walk? cus if so thats easy. alcohol has a delayed effect. you could drink a ****load in a f ew minutes and for a short while you'd be ok. but then itd kick in and you'd be langered.

ll=llannah · 06-09-2002 12:46pm

ah- finally a thread about something! haha.
well- i hate coffee, hate tea, but i like pretty much anything else that's caffeinated. i love caffeine. not because it gives me a buzz or whatever- it really doesn't have an effect on me either- but it makes my brain THINK it should be buzzed and therefore it is! (in other words: I trick my own brain. (evil hyper laugh)

joe the coat · 06-09-2002 3:24pm

uhmm... i never drink enough coffee or other caffine-related drink to feel the effects... i once got hyper on a whole bottle of lilt though... i think i walked into somthing... years ago though

It wasn't me! · 08-09-2002 2:40pm

Are you the Joe with the long, leather coat from session two this year, Geoge's friend.

pretty*monster · 08-09-2002 2:44pm

Anyone ever take caffeine pills?
It's not as great an idea as it sounds. Maybe my mistake was taking twelve at once. My heart rate sort of ...doubled. I'm not bsing it went up to 120. Woops. So i spent about 3 hours in the easons cafe sipping water and taking deep breaths.
Oh, and I'd already knocked back 2 bottles of Jolt.

joe the coat · 08-09-2002 4:58pm

georges "friend"? well i supose so... more companion or the guy who tried to "de-nerd" him and destroyed his fragile little mind... ehehheheheheheheheheheheheheehehheehheehhehehe... but yes, i am the ses2 02 joe who wore a leather coat and represented afghanistan in the MUN.:eek: afghanistan! gods sake...

Barry Aldwell · 08-09-2002 5:01pm

George need die soon.

It wasn't me! · 08-09-2002 5:22pm

You really did destroy his mind. In the third week he started looking around the door before he came out. If he even caught a glimpse of either you, me, Cara or pretty much anyone, he'd stay in. I can't really remember whether It pissed me off, made me depressed or made me laugh. Hell, maybe it was some weird concoction of them all! God, Just had to control my evil side there!

Barry Aldwell · 08-09-2002 5:56pm

It's good to see that I made a difference in someone's life.

lordsippa · 08-09-2002 6:27pm

WOW!!!! Kate! GOD! I must now have you declared new god of EVERYTHING!

I once took 7 max strength no-doz <bare in mind this was after taking 4 cans of something that had a warning stating "take maximum of 2 a day" and 4 no-doz the day before> at once... and then had to go on a big long drive and... erm... 5 hours of vomitting later and all was well. And i even slept like a baby!

Ah yes... and Sobe... it no longer gives me heart explody when taken in fatal amounts!

and yet... been off heavy caffeine abuse for a while... maybe it's time to... go... back...

Taurine withdrawl is fun btw. ;p

pretty*monster · 08-09-2002 6:50pm

everything eh?
But, No! caffeine abuse is baaaaaaaad
<shifty eyes>

Mystic Fibrosis · 08-09-2002 8:44pm

Bad? NAAAY!!! GOOD!!!! Except i dont have an iron bladder, so y'know...peeage

lordsippa · 08-09-2002 9:00pm

I've been drinking Coca-Cola <give it it's REAL name peasants!> since the fine age of about 3 / 4... only a little back then and i wasn't meant to but they couldn't help slipping me a sip here and there... so i give credit for half of my parentage to the good ol' Coca-Cola corporation. And I don't care how EVIIIIL they are cause they're not half as pathetically tabloid as pepsi <and tastes soooo much nicer>... they got class dammit!

PLUS! I have blood ties to the company <relations being high ups in it> so...

Always Coca-Cola...

Life is good... ;p

It wasn't me! · 09-09-2002 4:19pm

Thanks for that information Foobar. I'm starting to feel t6he results of the vodka I drank 15 minutes ago. Oh man! Anyway, back on point, he didn't walk, that was just a metaphor, but he never acted different or anything, even after a short while.

purplepolkadot · 13-09-2002 8:33pm

Anyone ever take caffeine pills?

it is as good an idea as it sounds if you only take two or three.

in a heehee, everything is so funny, and i love everyone and am slightly drunk-feeling sort of way

Elvish · 14-09-2002 9:54pm

i never really understood or had the urge to abuse caffeine. Or booze for that matter. Dunno why really. I like coffee though. Mostly for the taste. The walking up affect is just a bonus.

-rob

ll=llannah · 16-09-2002 1:26am

that's a shame....caffeine abuse is fun!!! *twitch, twitch, twitch* lol.
one of my friends was addicted to caffeine pills last year. twas so funny- she'd fall asleep in class and then take one and sit up and not be able to sit still all class.
i've never had the urge to take the pills- large amounts of jolt and coke have always been more than sufficient. caffeine makes the world go 'round. (and 'round, and 'round and 'round and 'round.......)

Mystic Fibrosis · 16-09-2002 7:11pm

YOU have large amounts of caffeine?

1) This prbably pales in comparison to Sven's escapades.

2) In Glasgow, I drank an entire 12 pack of red bull in a night. On 2 seperate occasions.

3) I have spent 30 euro on jolt before, and most of it is gone by the next morning.

4) My parents worry about the amount of caffeine i TAKE(IF YOU KNEW my parents, youd be scared)

my parents found an empty packet of pep-pills in my bin (yes they go through my trash) they now think i have some kind of "problem"

purplepolkadot · 16-09-2002 7:29pm

one weekend at work i was bored so i drank a crate of coke.:D
and i mean plastic 1.5l bottles. and 1.5 x 24= 36litres. i win.
it gave me a kidney infection though.:(
now that is caffeine abuse. for me anyway, in my little sheltered boggerhole

lordsippa · 16-09-2002 7:35pm

i've only ever drank 11 cans of tiger shot in one day <one can went missing in my bag it turned out>... actually... that was in one hour so...

My mother found all the coke bottles under my desk and asked me what was i putting in them... <sigh>...

ll=llannah · 21-09-2002 4:13pm

as i sat at my desk drinking my fourth bottle of jolt in the past 15 minutes, i was looking for an article for chem class when i came across this:

Caffeine: Psychological Effects, Use & Abuse

it was just amusing to skim through it. i have many of the symptoms, as i'm sure we all do. teeheee. just thought u guys would have a good laugh at it.

Mystic Fibrosis · 21-09-2002 7:40pm

ROTFLMAO

BTW, listening to Take Me To Your Leader by who else, Incubus while caffeine-related seizure is upon you is fun

Man U babe · 21-09-2002 8:03pm

I've tripled my caffeine habit since I started in UCD last monday. Cant live without the stuff now... well I need to be awake for those 9am lectures (after being up since 6.50 and having got 2 buses). Have to say tho, machine coffee in DCU is way better (and cheaper) than the poxy science block coffee in UCD. And that's saying something. Hate red bull and tea, love coke, sobe and v.strong black coffee with loads of sugar. hehehehehehe sugar....

purplepolkadot · 22-09-2002 6:09pm

SUGAR!! how could i have forgotten sugar, faithful friend, it's been like parents to me all these years...

qwidgybo · 22-09-2002 8:22pm

mmmmm,incubus.......

Mystic Fibrosis · 22-09-2002 8:45pm

This is going off on a tangent, but It shouldnt be spam, because its a reply to a post, right.....?

Anyway, do like Incubus, or Brandon Boyd?

I have 4 of their albums, and the reason being, I think they make delightful music. But a lot of people just like them because of Brandon, which pisses me, (and Brandon) off.

ll=llannah · 22-09-2002 9:55pm

Brandon certainly doesn't hurt anyone (mhmm) but i love incubus cause of their music, not only cause of him. altho i know many who just love Brandon. shame. on. them.

qwidgybo · 23-09-2002 8:37pm

i love the music.*sighs*i spent two free classes singing "aqueous transmission" to myself today-I LOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH!WOW!

and if i like anyone,although brandon's not bad,it has to be the drummer.HE USED TO BE A DANCER!A BALLET DANCER!!WOW!*gets all giddy*

Mystic Fibrosis · 23-09-2002 9:25pm

Let's see, I currently have 4 Incubus albums, 1 DVD, one screensaver, 1 background, one poster, and 51 mp3s(all ripped)

That's

Fungus Amongus
S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
Make Yourself (2CD tour edition) (also have songbook)
Morning View (songbook as well)

When Incubus attacks vol. 2 DVD

And is it coincidence I played Aqueous Transmission for about a hour myself today? I think not!!!!

qwidgybo · 24-09-2002 5:53pm

wow!there's no way that's a coincidence!!
i had such an incubus day today-i kept thinking about them and getting giddy and then my eyes would glaze over(according to christina)
*sighs*

It wasn't me! · 25-09-2002 3:10pm

Thanks for that Twix_Girl. I went to that link and it turns out I have every single symptom mentioned, and four or five that aren't there. I'm currently selling myself to the nearest laboratory for testing. It's painful, but the 25g dose of pure caffeine they give me every morning is so worth it. Mmmmmmmmm Caffeine.

Mystic Fibrosis · 25-09-2002 5:57pm

Yes, a 13 year old ALWAYS survives 2&1/2 times the lethal dose of caffeine. Dude, your spine would break.

It wasn't me! · 25-09-2002 7:29pm

Really?(Casually does a back-handspring) No nothing yet!

ll=llannah · 25-09-2002 8:04pm

haha- no problem, I knew a good deal of you would find it as amusing as I did.
Garog, I don't think we're gonna experience serious effects till later- for now i think the only side effect will be loads of twitching. lol.
I think the laboratories would have waaay too much fun analyzing all of us. (that or they'd be veery scared.) hehe!

It wasn't me! · 26-09-2002 4:18pm

They got scared right about the time I started bending the bars on my heavy-duty steel cage and escaping, or was it before that?

ll=llannah · 27-09-2002 1:32pm

*flipping through loads and loads of paper as if posessed*
nope- it was before-
i didn't know other pple got odd steel-bending capabilities from blood in the caffeine stream! (lol)
