So every 4 hours I need another 3 tins. The event lasts 130 hours - add an hour beforehand and 9 hours afterwards(I am going to need it). So I need about 105 tins!

        Okay - I am going to sleep. And I will get caffeine from other sources. But I reckon 40 tins should be a good start. I can always pop down the local co-op for more.....
        I'de be seriously worried about drinking that much Redbull to be honest. Not the sugar and caffeine but the other stuff they put in it. Maybe drink a can when you stop to eat etc but otherwsie I'd stick to caffinated carb drinks and gels. Drinking that many cans will give you huge doses of B vitamins and Taurine. 1 can of Redbull conatains the full RDA of Taurine (1000mg) and way more than your RDA for B vitamins. B VItamins in particular can cause some nasty side effects if you over do it - Headaches, Blurred Vision, Nausea etc.

        Your call, it;s your event and your body. But I wouldnt do it.

            Is it a good payoff? If so, take the money and go back to contracting

                  The younger eek jr has had about 14" of hair cut off and donated it to Little Princess Trust - A charity to provide real hair wigs for children suffering hair loss

                  I had totally forgotten it was being done today...

                  Which is better than her sister's last hair cut. Which we remembered 24 hours after the appointment as we walked past the shop...

                    For some reason, it never occurred to me until today that I should be putting my GitHub subscription through the business
