Reisal Posted March 21, 2014 Link I personally think he should have died for his stupidity, the products clearly warn you to limit consumption per day. The typical limit is 3 16oz cans, sometimes you can push it to 4, which is about 2 liters. This idiot drank 4 liters (135 fl oz), or about 16 cans just to stay up and play Call of Duty all night. Edit: Fixed the article title and my comment. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mithral_Demon Posted March 21, 2014 Wow.. Just to play a game for 16 hours. I could play most games up to 14 hours with only some food and maybe a 16oz energy drink. I seldom drink energy drinks, and if I do it's to wake my sorry ass up when coffee can't do it's job. I wonder what drink he had, probably Monster. ¬.¬ 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted March 21, 2014 I think that drinking that much of any liquid in a day (unless you're in the middle of the desert) is a guaranteed kidney failure/electrolyte imbalance. 0 Share this post Link to post

hardcore_gamer Posted March 21, 2014 This just proves what I already knew: Energy drinks are just well marketed toxic. Not that most soft drinks are any better. Still, I doubt you could DIE from drinking 8 liters of coke in a day. This is one of the reasons for why I shake my head at people who mix their alcohol with energy drinks (redbull and vodka come to mind). The odds that you will just fall down dead may be low, but this is still a very irresponsible and an unhealthy thing to do. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted March 21, 2014 He should have eaten a full bag of sugarless gummy bears to purge his system after drinking the eighth liter of energy drink. That would have saved his kidneys. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kontra Kommando Posted March 21, 2014 He should have just eaten a lot of fruits instead. The natural sugars disperse more evenly in your body, giving you energy the way nature intended. Shit like energy drinks, gives your body more a shock of sugar, which will make you crash. 0 Share this post Link to post

geo Posted March 21, 2014 Maes said:If you drink too much water in any form, unless you actually perspire it all, you can get water intoxication. I drink a gallon a day. I'm shocked I haven't died yet, but I guess it depends on how quickly you drink it to water down your blood. So this fucker drank 2 gallons of energy drink? During St. Patricks Day, a local radio station read off bullshit facts, such as someone had a St. patty's day that lasted 4 weeks after drinking 60 pints in 4 hours. Or 7.5 fucking gallons of booze in 4 hours. The human stomach can't even fit that much. 0 Share this post Link to post

However, she died afterwards because the over consumption of water. Drinking excessive quantities of water lowers your blood's viscosity (actually, after further reading, I think its salinity, not viscosity) to the point that it will actually flow through the walls of your blood vessels into surrounding tissue. If you bleed into your brain from over-hydration you're basically done for. 0 Share this post Link to post

Try eating quarter of kilogram of kitchen salt. 0 Share this post Link to post
Waffenak Posted March 21, 2014 As stupid as those waterdrinking competitions which got banned because of dying fools. If you drink enough water your cells take liquids inside them as a result of diffusion where fluids move from concentrated to mild titre. Your cells swell and wont work functionally and as a result you eventually die if you cant remove surfeit liquids. 0 Share this post Link to post

betabox Posted March 21, 2014 hardcore_gamer said:Sure, but some things are more toxic then others. Yeah, that's where acceptable limits come in. Because a guy overdosed on a substance, it doesn't automatically make said substance a complete danger. With energy drinks, whether one likes it or not or if it has long-term/chronic effects, well that's neither here nor there. 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted March 21, 2014 I'll only be drinking about 34oz. tonight mixed with alcohol, so I guess I'm not as hardcore. I'm not sure if I could drink eight litres of anything for that matter. Anyway, blame video games. 0 Share this post Link to post
