Re: Excessive amounts of energy drinks?I used to drink quite a lot of Lucozade as well for all-nighters and the like (and just because I like the taste(Original post by Anonymous)
It's exam time, and for the past three or four weeks I've been drinking lucozade to keep me going while revising. I don't normally drink the stuff, but I've been exhausted so often lately that I've needed the lift.
Unfortunately I feel like I almost require it by the end of the day - and I'm concerned of the effects it's going to have on me. Today for example, I've had 3 bottles of it already, and I've got another two to hand if I need them. I know this is really bad, but I normally have two a day, at the most.
My exams finish at the end of the week, and I intend to drop them as soon as I finish, but I'm worried that I'm going to have caused myself some kind of damage in the time I've been drinking the.
), and it hasn't done me any harm so far. 
It's mainly sugar anyway with only a small amount of caffeine (my guess would be much less than a cup of coffee). I wouldn't worry too much if you don't see any adverse effect.

Re: Excessive amounts of energy drinks?Lucozade tablets were my backup if the drinks weren't sufficient. IIRC they didn't have glucose either so just sugar.(Original post by shmuxel)
I'd rather use High Glucose tablets instead....
But I was disappointed to find out that the Lucozade tablets didn't dissolve in Lucozade.

Re: Excessive amounts of energy drinks?Lol, I don't particularly like the Lucozade tablets, prefer Dextro energy. Anyway they're full of dextrose, an isomer of Glucose, so work in the same way - quickly absorbed and makes you go high :P I tend to swallow one before entering the exam hall... by the time the instructions have been read out, it's taken effect(Original post by alex_hk90)
