Yes. Beer. Good beer.

You know, while inbibing great liquors, I came upon a revelation.

God hath showeth his greateth loveth for mankind by giveth doth thy power of beer.

Lord, what 6 shots of Wild Turkey does to the brain ...

But I am unfortunately lucky. My school has a beverage machine by the Computer Science lab that has Red Bull along with a large assortment of drinks. There is something off on the machine, and it makes everything cost $1. This brings Red Bull down to the affordable level (one could buy ten cans for $10 rather that $20 + tax), while water (listed as $.70) is raised. Rather use the fountain!

EDIT: Oh! But if you are looking for that extra kick to get you going, you could also use stackers. Personally I don't like stackers or yellow jackets as they a) make me feel agressive, b)cause me to shake too much and become to fidgity, c) are bad for the heart. I once took 3 of them and felt like I was about to have a heart attack, and d) Makes it hard to concentrate

Red Bull is smooth, has none of the above side effects, and I actually feel I can think more smoothly.

There's a genuine money making opportunity presenting itself to you through that vending machine. Half price, capitalism baby, capitalism. And who the hell would buy water from a machine? Anyone who does should look for the consumer reports on bottled water. They found out that generally it's actually just tap water only its been sitting so long it commonly has far more bacteria in it. If it tastes different it's just the plastic enfusing into the water (which probably isn't a good thing), just buy one bottle and refilling it is the same as buying it new.

As for the "stackers" you've got to be careful with that stuff. There's a pitcher who just died in training and they're attributing it to a substance which is sold in weight loss powders which is chemically very similar to speed. Stackers I think are just caffein but you're right about the symptoms you felt. In addition if you get addicted to caffeine (which most people are, I included) and suddenly cut off access to it some people get withdrawl symptoms of headaches and further fidgity-ness.

Alright thats my rant and I'm done. Oh by the way, everything, and I mean everything, gives you cancer, well, at least in theory.

13 eh? I'm 16, and I must have gotten a late start on having my own computer or something; I didn't have my own 'till 12. Didn't get the internet for another year after that.

Oh, yeah...the topic at hand. I like juice, I don't drink pop. Red bull is the only exception.

Juice is good! Escpecially Grapefruit Juice. I got my first own comp when I was 9. It had internet but it was dialup . Then about 1.5 years later I got cable.
