    oohh DOOD!!

    the only red eye's ill drink are the extreme (green) and platnum (silver)

    black and red are stupid! each bottle has the equilvient of 12 cubes of sugar dissolved in them!!!!



    oh, and on a much brighter note, i found out today that the smart drinks dont have 100mg of guarana, they have 100mg/100ml! thats 250mg a can!!!

    1 per night will keep you goin!

    This says that your average lipton tea has 40mg of caffeine, coffee is a fair bit higher.

    you know, at the last LAN i went to, a small overnighter, i bought one of those coke 'fridgemates' or whatever ... basicly 10 cans of coke in a box.

    i did the whole overnight, and was awake for 2 days straight. was fairly mad, we drove around at 5 am looking for McDonalds, and bugging the annoyed food monkeys for cookies. i love those cookies.

    id recommend having a massive feed a few hours before you go, to avoid :

    1. getting really hungry and resorting to ordering 3 batches of pizza in 12 hours (yes, we did this once :p)
    2. going to sleep. if you eat a lot, it tends to make you want to go to sleep, so if you're already tired then you're in trubble. so eat heaps b4 you go, and wait a couple hours for the sleeping urge to pass.
    3. annoying other LANmates. junk foods make you fart!! so be considerate :)

    im yet to try guarana, or actually taking healthy foods, but im sure these both would be beneficial. i'll try it out this weekend, at WALAN. should be wikked. .... 750 ppl in Challenge Stadium :)

    7-11 Stores should stock it, and im pretty sure that your smaller independant grocer stores should get it along with milk bars etc.

    Anyone claiming that Guarana is "healthy" is full of shite :)

    its not significantly different from caffiene, claiming its healthy is like saying caffiene is good for your body, which it isnt..

    Ill still use it, itll still make me sick, but eh, dont blindly tell yourself that if its "natural" its good for you.

    You fool!

    www.guarana.com states that guarana only has a nominal amount of 10% of caffeine in it! your average cup of coffee depending on type has around 65 - 130mg of caffeine. so to equal a cup of coffee you would need to ingest about 1g of guarana to have as much caffeine as their is in one cup of coffee. so say your average coffee drinker drinks about 4 cups of coffee a day. that makes 400mg of caffeine or equivalent to 4g of guarana.

    So based on that guarana is not simply caffeine!

    Heh, you gurl :p

    goto www.secret.com.au/computers and they stock the penger mintz and the caffine kicks, which are coffee flavored and to die for :) i bought 15 last order :) hehe

    If you want hardcaw guarana, i suggest you check out Cenovis Guarana 2000mg and Ginseng 500mg tablets, they should be about 10 bux from most supermarkets/health stores

    If your sensitive to that stuff, i suggest against it, nor taking them without eating anything, i have made myself feel very ill doing that at raves, something im much smarter about now :)

    thanks DDsD
    a couple of other notes

    viking bar = expensive mars bar
    lipovitan = shit

    apparently apples keep you awake in the morning better than coffee
    amazing what you learn wandering aimlessly through tv channels

    Viking bar = shit - tastes orrite tho :)

    lipovitan helped me through my end of year final marketing exam for uni, after a weekend of Rave/no sleep/then going straight to work

    so i give it the thumbs up.

    As with all things containing guarana, they can say that they have XXg of stuff in them, and thats entirely true, but it also depends on where the guarana is harvested from, what variety it is etc. The cenovis stuff is the most powerful ive come across, good quality stuff.

    Btw, give andy from secretnet a big helo from DDsD =) hehe
