I can only suggest somewhere like Makro. Why the hell do you need to drink 10 cans of that stuff a day?

This stuff is very bad for you. You won't have any teeth left this time next year if you keep this up.

Get some speed

Yeah that Kick stuff from tescos does the job nicely, about £1 for a litre bottle. Dunno how well it keeps you awake though, only time I ever drink it is getting ready for going out on a Saturday night, two or three bottles of Kick along with a litre of Vodka - makes a great mixer and is just enough to warm the insides before going clubbing and doing the job properly

PS Almost forgot, what day is it? Better get off to tescos for my weekly shopping. The usual please, yep it's a liquid lunch again today

What I do to stay up and dancing to hardcore all night.
2x cans of redbull,
2x cans of Orange flavour lucozade,
1 whole packet of dextrose energy tablets,
4-5 Pep Caffiene tablets (superdrug own brand)
If I get the whole lot of that down me at once then it all comes in at around 12-1ish. That gives me more than enough energy to dance all night and be compus come monday morning.
Rich, I do agree that 12+ cans is not healthy though. I've OD'd on caffiene a couple of times and it aint pleasent. One time I took so much it actually knocked me OUT for four hours. I woke up in the Techno room at Bagleys wondering where the **** I was. Also caffiene crashes are not a nice experience.
Serious mate, I take caffiene recreationally but I never touch the stuff in the week.
If you want somthing natural to keep awake/alert then try gurana (the stuff in those green Boost bars) That is natural and does work well too.

Rich, not able to find any lodgings yet then?

Kick from Tescos I believe is identical to Red Bull. Mrs P checked out all the ingrediants and it matches exactly.

However I must caution you against using so much. My boss was rushed into hospital with a suspected heart attack and spent weeks having tests. They finally put iot down to the amount of Red Bull he had consumed on the day.

I have to say if you are drinking that much Red Bull to stay awake, maybe you shouldn't be driving. Have you looked into taking the train?

The other thing to do is push on and find some lodgings.

be careful mate....

Dave
