Most likely we'd have the usual Haiz, just very, very intense, shaky and possibly upset about the shakiness... :P

Why spend money on several when you can get pure liquid caffeine? Granted it's potentially lethal when not measured carefully, but hey, efficiency.

Energy drinks don't really work on me. If anything I get really sluggish when they wear off.

Well, what I did was lie around for three days half-asleep, and then suddenly there was a frost, and BAM. Energy from cold weather or something.

So for reasons of science, where would one get this pure liquid caffeine?

Same actually, I don't get any extra energy out of them and they won't even stop me from getting sleepy. Besides most energy drinks taste gross.

+1 to that. I had to resort to them a few times in university... never again. Tastes like cough medicine, that stuff does.

I've never actually had an energy drink. I wonder what would happen if I tried it....

I suppose most people buy it on the internet, maybe Amazon.

Only one way to find out, although I'm 99% sure nothing noteworthy will happen.

I'm pretty sure you can avoid this experience.

I generally avoid coffee and energy drinks because I don't want to depend on them to function (WOW THAT PLAN IS WORKING OUT REALLY WELL)... I remember I had a cup of coffee once and proceeded to sit upside down in a chair for a long while afterwards?? ok

I know of two sorts, sugar(s) + stimulant(s), like Red Bull, or mega-vitamin drinks, like 5-Hour Energy.  Having read fairly dire things about the caffeine and especially the gaurana in such drinks, I went with the 5-Hr.  Sort of.  ::) At 8000% of the daily B12 allowance in one little bottle   :o  I tried about one half.  It effectively got me through the post-lunch lethargy with no ill effects.  Almost a year after I stopped even occasional use, my doctor has me taking the same amount of B12 as a full bottle, since I turned out to have a deficiency.  It's less scary to me now. ;)

I generally avoid more than small amounts of caffeine because I have trouble treading the line between "makes you energized" and "makes you jittery and hyper". A cup of tea does practically nothing at all. Two cups of tea (I know that's not a lot, but it's enough) and I've got energy, but I'm all hyper about it. So for me it's just better to stay away from the stuff.
