I do agree that redbull is nasty I wouldn't be suprised if one day someone said that it was urine sweetened with sugar.
Uhm? What.

Drinking a can of Bawls is way healthier than working on those gross disgusting computers.

Red Bull is nasty as is 90% of them out there.

Cool thanks for the info. Truth is I haven't drank RB & Vodka in years, but I did enjoy it for a while. Somehow drinking games just seemed to go on all night with that stuff lol.

I cant help buy agree with Eagle Eye's comment im suprised you would drink this stuff.. Wont touch this stuff even if it was free. I have tried redbull but it was mixed with vodka and some other stuff not my cup of tea.

And i have never heard of this stuff too...atleast not the loblaws or any of the Mississauga/Toronto Grocery stores i have been in carry this.


Im goin to check my store database to see we have this in our system.

Again.

What is wrong with drinking something like Bawls or Red Bull or Jolt?

My intent was not to imply judgement only to question ones logic. To me its simply didn't make sense that cleaning a dirty "smoking" computer was in someway detrimental to ones health. However, excessive or long term consumption of energy drinks has been proven in cases to be far more detrimental to ones health and if mixed with alcohol it adds to that effect.
Again I am not implying any judgement here only trying to understand fact vs ones logic.

Regards,

EE

I don't mix it with alcohol :P I drink Bawls or any energy drink by itself.

And long term consumption of ANYTHING whether it be liquor, energy drinks, mouth wash etc has the same effects.

You're right Enaberif any long term consumption is bound to have negative effects heck we all have our crutch huh...you like your energy drinks and I like my red wine either way its bound to get us eventually. On a positive note at least I don't smoke anymore and thank heavens for that, you can't begin to realize how proud I am again to say "I don't smoke" As for cleaning a dusty nicotine ladened computer I'd probably get some pleasure out of just telling them how disgusting their computer is and what a dirty habit smoking is.

Ironic isn't that smoking is as bad for your computer's health as it is your health, I'd bet rothmans, johnplayer's and dumaurier didn't see that coming

Damn right.. All that nasty stuff is filled with many different types of chemicals, additives, instead of giving you energy it actually messes your body.

Bawls rocks!!.. Looking forward to it too

I can't drink energy drinks because they give me migraines, but what are the negative long term side effects? I've never read anything about it before, I've heard about it, but just never read / been told what they do to hurt you over a long time besides making you burn out after drinking them.

I guess i know the short term side effects, but i'm interested in learning the long term ones.

I also heard that they're going to start making energy drinks require I.D after some kid drank 2 red bulls before a foot ball game, and than died because his heart stopped from all the foot ball + energy drink he had in him.

the guys at work drink energy drinks all the time. Myself, i can't stand any of them, except Jager bombs. But, i know a lot of people who'll be quite happy about BAWLS at NCIX.
