Full Throttle Doesn’t Phase Me
July 16, 2008
I’m feeling lackluster. . . .energy-less. . . . barely in the crawling mode. . . . because of too many late nights and too many early mornings. And no naps in between. The next several days promise to be B-U-S-Y.
So I did something I’ve never done before. I bought an energy drink, Full Throttle. And drank it all in one sitting.
Just so you know, this 16 oz. drink did not give me any extra energy.
I drank it 46 minutes ago. Maybe it’ll take some time before the B Vits, caffeine, ginseng, guarana, taurine, carnitine & sucrose circulate in my blood stream and ramp me up to full throttle.
On the plus side. . . . It tastes good. And the can looks wicked cool.
I’ll update this in several hours, if there is a change in my energy level.
UPDATED: I did not experience my 2:00 slump until 5 pm. And after a 50 minute rest I was ok. I was able to go to sleep quickly.
Have you ever had an energy drink? Did it help?

Alll those those ingredients are too busy battling each other to help your energy level. Zowee! What a combo! If taken on an empty stomach I’d be careening off the walls. I’ve had energy drinks without the caffeine since caffeine and I can be pretty adversarial at times. I have tried Chinese herbs to stay awake when working nights but, if one takes too many one doesn’t sleep for a day or two. Yikes!
Good luck Susan dear ….

I’ve never tried those. I’m afraid they would trigger a migraine! I hope you weren’t up with insomnia after drinking that yesterday!

Nope, did not affect my sleep at all. I think I’m immune to caffeine.

Hi. Wow, the combo of added caffine and sugar is a deadly combo in all the energy drinks. Never drank any energy drinks until a close friend had me try one in June. Said it was healthy for me, cost is less than anything out there, doesn’t give the jitters and no crash. I said “Oh Sure” but I tried it and wow does it work. It works so well I lost weight the first week I started drinkin it. It curbed my appetite and I didn’t expect that to happen! I am down 13 lbs in about a 3week period with it and our weight mgmt drink. So if you are lookin for a healthy one check out my page and my web site:)
