I might have to pick up some 8333% Vitamin B12 tomorrow morning, I think No-Doz will not help this time.

Oh hell yeah, I'm pulling an all-nighter tonight. First one since grade school! Woot woot! 😀 I'm gonna need at least one 8333% B12'er tomorrow.

 

[slatermd]

Jeez dude, you're going to wait til tomorrow? I'd be slugging the b vits already to make sure I didn't lose steam during the all nighter.

 

[Geneticist]

If I start popping B's now, I'm probably going to pass out on my keyboard at 7 and wake up... in a few days.

i lol'd. I've still never tried 5 hr... I stick to gallons of coffee.

 

[MeowMeowCAT]

5 hour hits you a lot faster and harder, coffee takes too much quantity. Coffee is nice for a refresher, but not when you don't feel like dealing with an upset stomach or constantly running to the bathroom since eventually your bladder goes on a "Dude, you don't need all this liquid!" mayhem.

If you ever do decide to abuse 5 hr E, don't dilute it in 17 oz of water. Diluting it will NOT prevent you from getting dehydrated, it'll just make you have to piss really, really badly.

Jittery + Having to pee every 20 minutes = Not a good time 👎

Haha! Read the above. It's way worse diluted.

 

[slatermd]

my bladder has adjusted due to my chronic/massive consumption. I do occasionally get some stomach acid issues from it though.

Also, not a good idea is to drink it on an empty stomach. The most excruciating stomach pain ever.

good to know, I totally would have done that. I always slam water to offset my coffee intake. I do have some pisstaculous trips to the restroom.

I, fortunately, don't get stomach pains even if I drink 'em on an empty stomach.

I had to sit through a play called the Vagina Monologues (sucks btw, don't go) and downed one on an empty stomach just so I could sprint out of there once the show was over. Highly effective. 👍

damn, who is still up?

I use to drink a lot of 5 hour energy but God it tastes like ish...really bad

I'm kind of afraid to try the maximum strength 5 hr E. Regular 5 hr E is enough to make any person's hands become jittery and shriveled but maximum strength? I mean, come on. Who ya tryna kill?

 

[slatermd]

If I ever try it, I'm starting with max strength.

I have taken the maximum strength quite a few times before. Didn't make jittery or shaky, my body is to use to caffeine....

I heard putting your scrotum in a blender improves IQ. Idk though...

I like the idea of my bladder talking like a surfer. Or something.

 

[Wolfman89]

I just eat to offset my caffeine intake, which comes from a combo of coffee, green tea, and sugar free Rock Star Energy Drinks.

Yup. I get that too. Stress + coffee + empty stomach ----> no bueno

That's good that you are getting the hang of it. I absolutely sucked at o chem. It was the most demoralizing college experience that I had. 🙁 I really hope people are right when they say there isn't much o chem in med school.

Oh, and you only had one synthesis problem?! OMG when I took o chem 80% of each test was synthesis problems!

Gen chem was the demoralizer for me until I finally learned how to study for it.

 

[Ignatius M.D.]

+1. I'd rather do synthesis all day than do what basically amounts to a pure math class.

Physics test Tuesday..can anyone please clarify angular momentum in a few sentences? I iz no good at it...aaaand it gives me a headache.

 

[gamerstud77]

If you are getting stomach cramps it just means you aren't drinking enough 😀. Also, try drinking one of those fancy latte drinks that no one likes to admit they enjoy. The milk helps soothe the stomach.

 

[HawaiiHereICome]

Ahh the camaraderie of cramming for finals in the library. Really miss this. Spent the entire day playing guitar and watching TV.... yawn... think I'm gonna get a burrito then maybe go to sleep.

At one point in undergrad I thought that sugar and food were making me sleepy, so I tried to study for a test without eating much and only drinking sugar-free coffee. I was totally brain-dead until I had some sugar.

Moral of the story: your brain needs calories.

 

[Tesseract]

Mixed protein powder with my coffee earlier today- a little clumpy but tasted great.

Same here. I feel like once I get the rules and techniques down I will be able to nail organic synthesis.

All the math and the kinetics and the thermodynamics drove me nuts int gen chem, although electrochemistry was a fun chapter.

Fancy latte drinks are the best.

Yup unless in the rare instance I get a caffene high, I feel like crap until I get food in me if I have had a lot of caffene.

Sounds like it is worth a try. I have this chocolate flavor spriunlina protein I picked up from a health foods/organic foods store. I'll have to do that next time I make coffee.

Your brain actually can only use glucose for energy, it can't catabolize fats so indeed you are correct.
As for me 5hrs xtra strength all the way. I have an addiction to sour candy and energy drinks and my teeth can't handle it anymore so I minimize the acid and get it done with fast!

 

[Tesseract]

Feel like I should just buy an espresso machine. I probably drop 10-15$ a day on macchiatos and other fancy lattes. Commercial-wise, nothing I've had beats Bruegger's coffee- tis sad my area has no mom and pop coffee places 🙁

Sitting here on an overnight shift with coffee even now

Already ahead of you. Paid for mine in a month by making my own.

I recommend seattlecoffeegear.com They have everything you need, with video to boot.

 

[slatermd]

Espresso machine is totally worth it, but I don't use the steam wand much.


I pound shots, americanos and red eyes up the yang.

The lounge is out-performing the late night thread tonight.

It's so beautiful

Everything is so shiny right?

 

[Torr]

Aw, I totally missed my mark tonight. Wanted to be here right at midnight 🙁

Also, no offense to geneticist but as far as energy drinks go, Rockstar is where it's at.

Edit: This place is way too quiet :| . I guess the lounge is where it's at?

I prefer SoBe Adrenaline. It's tangy like gatorade and carbonated like soda, only better.

The Rockstar fruitpunch is decent.

BTW, thanks for the fabulous poll.

I don't think I could handle anymore penis humor this week. In fact I don't want to hear anything remotely related to it!

Insomnia sucks.

True dat.


I apparently decided that staying up watching Iron Man 2 was better than sleeping and going to the gym.

In your defense, Iron Man 2 is a pretty good movie.

I looked at those espresso machines and they make my wallet hurt, especially since I would want to get a fancy one so I could steamed milk for lattes and whatnot.

Also sorry about my absence from the late night thread, I went on a late night run to grab a burger from this place called the Frontier which is across the street from my school.

Hells yeah, Torr Rockstar is the bomb!


EDIT: Apparently the noisy couple above me have decided not to go leave the dorms for spring break, so I still get to listen to their athletics.

And no I am not deliberately listening, she is just that loud. In fact she is loud enough that I can tell she is faking it.

That is so not the reaction a girl wants at 1:30 am. From ANYONE.
That is the kind of reaction you get from five-oh at 1:30 am when they haven't caught you doing anything wrong, but they're trying to sniff out whether or not you're causing trouble.
