Calm down, drinking too many could make you stay awake for hours, and sleep for days.

Not sure that getting buckled to a chair is an appropriate response; but that aside, if the stuff is all you say it is, I would suggest it amounts to being dangerous - do you have the slightest idea what the side effects of anything that potent are likely to be.  Could it also increase aggression (as is often quoted to amphetamines, which also will send you very hyper)?  What about blurring your judgement while you are under its influence? What about damage to other organs?

Anything that has a major effect upon the body, no mater whether it is officially a drug, or merely a foodstuff that acts as a drug, can have significant unwanted side effects.

What if, while you are under the influence of this drug (that is what you seem to be describing) you cause someone some harm - how would you feel about the drug then?

I really don't know what this stuff is that you are talking about, but the effects you describe would lead me to be very concerned about it.

Hi Your Sleeplessness,

I think that we discussed few months ago the lethal consequences of sleep deprivation:

Hallucinations, paranoia, disorientation, thats basically what happens from lack of sleep, so in a nutshell, sleep deprevation is a form of pshycosis. also a favoured torture used by the KGB durin WW2.

You probably couldnt DIE from sleep deprevation, the longest held record i believe is 11days, but im pretty sure it would seriously mess with your sanity. that help??

Hope he finally found his grandmother!  [:)]

Well.. I doubt it will be very healthy for you.. Even for sport, you will probably go hyper, make fouls, may injure yourself.

Legal and safe are not the same thing.
Red Bull (caffeine drink sold in the UK) has been linked to deaths of young, ostensibly healthy people (tho' I think that's mainly in conjunction with alcohol).
Mountain Dew (which I've never actually encountered myself) has enough sugar in it that drinking 6 put an otherwise healthy 17-ish year old boy into a hyperglycaemic coma for nearly 20 minutes.
Apart from anything else, they sell booze and cigarettes (tho' at least for those they apply age limits).

Is there perchance also a label on the side of the NOS can that says:

CAUTION: POWERFUL.
Not recommended for children,
pregnant women or people sensitive to caffeine.

I saw mention of it on the web, but since I do not consume energy drinks (except the occasional Lucozade, which is not at all in the same league as this stuff), I cannot say that I have had personal experience of any of it.
