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.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostSuper post! So I am 80-90kg. A tin of 250ml red bull is 80-90mg. So I need 3 tins to get me to peak performance. Caffeine has a half life of 3-5 hours - call it 4 hours. 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.....

Is it a good payoff? If so, take the money and go back to contractingOriginally posted by zeitghost View PostVR or no VR, that is the question.
Whether it be nobler in the mind to soldier on for another 4 interminable years, or be sensible & bugger off before I kill someone.

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