Ok, so an explanation. I'm an extremely talented medic. I haven't lost a patient, and there has been times when it was skill alone that kept them alive. The only problem is...I have to be. At the casino, we usually treat employees for cut fingers, dispense band-aids, and pick up drunks when they fall. But for whatever reason, whenever I'm working, we get the weird shit. Stabbings, shootings, four hundred pound naked women falling bathtubs, black widow rampages, zombie sightings...yadda yadda. So, along with my strange ability to predict horrible, horrible occurrences with voodoo, I get the title of Med Death.

"FWA, sponsored by monster energy! please enjoy your free Nitrous."
One of the EMTs (i think that's the proper description) actually started camping next to the huge tub of ice they had full of energy drinks to try and explain to people why the company says you shouldn't have more then 3 a day...
If its any comfort, the first night i worked at day's inn, we were raided by a swat team and *completely different circumstance* a guy hung him self...i may have mentioned that before so i wont elaborate...

I can take a good guess; the caffeine and other stimulants overstrain your heart and can lead to a heart attack, especially in people with a weak heart, sensitivity to caffeine, or other condition. Myself, I limit myself to ONE a day, and try not to take too many days in a row where I drink one, not only because of the potential health issues, but because they're EXPENSIVE.
Actually. It seems that more people tend to suffer from things like kidney failure and other diseases which you often see related to alcohol. The real thing that causes people to overload is because the beverage is mostly water it does quench you. How ever, you have to drink alot of water in addition to keep your system flushed and clean rather you are thirsty or not. Yes caffiene can induce heart attack in sensitive people, but for the average person they would probably feel it coming before it hit the red zone.
I should note that this is why you see speed and ecstasy abusers carrying water bottles at raves, keeping the system flushed diminishes the odds that you will suddenly flop over dead. And having said that i would also note that caffeine and sugar are the only mind altering drugs i have ever let in my system.
Anyway, yeah, your body can usually take allot of abuse, but kids constantly are going to frat parties for the first time and drinking perfectly healthy kidneys to the point of failure...or otherwise death by alcohol toxicity. If the warning label says three a day you can probably live with four or five... but for god sakes moderation and common sense. I would also like to say, never drink an energy drink that doesn't come in a soda can in the grocery section. There are laws regulating those. The stuff they sell in the pharmacy sections are usually marketed as "fat burner"s and are basically liquid speed with a fruity flavor.
Whelp, thats all i know, somebody knows better, please diminish my ignorance.

Yeah, though I have experimented with alcohol, I do my best to keep my body in proper functioning order, and whenever I drink booze or energy drinks that make me have to pee a lot, I drink more water to compensate because I don't want to get dehydrated.
Also the soda can drinks are the ones I use; anything marketed as a "fat burner" I'd distrust right off the bat, since I know that stuff doesn't even work. I tend not to like the taste of "regular" energy drinks like Monster, Rockstar, or Red Bull, but I do like the ones mixed with juice or coffee, like "Rockstar Juiced" or "Java Monster".
If I'm going to be altering my body chemistry, I want the method of intake to be enjoyable too. Cheap beer = NO. Smoking = VERY NO. Tasty juice-mixed energy drinks = yes, sometimes. Single-malt scotch whisky = occasionally, when I can afford it.
But either way I try to space out any such alteration of my body chemistry; the LAST thing I want is to become dependent on some chemical as a habit, regardless of its legal status. It should be noted, though, that it was ridiculously easy to quit office-supplied coffee cold turkey: it tasted nasty to begin with and I was only drinking it to stay awake.

Yeah. Well, theres one thats marketed as a fat burner...called REDLINE. it is to be avoided like the plague... i saw it at walmart one time.. "feel the burn, feel the freeze" it was labeled... but it looked interesting so i tried it...apparently the way it works is by ****ing up your body's thermostat. Ever walk outside on a really cold and damp day, without the propper clothing on? your entire body starts twitching and shaking and cant stop, at the same time you start pouring out sweat from every orifice the stuff in it is nonnutritive which means its zero calorie, so all that energy is coming from somewhere, but personally, i imagine its a load safer to go do some sit ups or jumping jacks...suffice it to say i didnt realize what it was at the time and i wont ever be drinking it again...
Cigs i will not smoke, mom was a chain smoker and that kinda put me off of it......now...there is a thing called a hooka which vaguely interests me to try just once... its basically a giant communal bong. they take a mash of tobacco *though traditionally in arab countries they use hashish..but as that is illegal in america, so tobacco* with nuts, dried fruits, (traditionally figs, mangos, flower pedals, things like that, but Americanized versions incorporate anything from apples and cinnamon to maple) resins (another word for dried tree sap) and honey, and place it on a charcoal disk which burns it, then you inhale the smoke through a long tube that draws the smoke through water to filter and smooth it out. Its still not healthy, but if i were going to smoke, i would smoke that. Plus its tougher to get addicted to it because stuff is expensive. I have never tried one. I would like to though. I went to a hooka lounge one time and the aroma was...utterly intoxicating, like, super expensive incense.. Ive walked into a few cigar parlors before, and when my friends took me there i was expecting to run out feeling sick... i walk in... "*sniiiIIIIFFF* *grin* i like it here"
Anyway, if we are going to continue discussing vices, we should probably do it in private before Reva starts yelling at us.

Reva, I speak from a small amount of experience. I haven't had to deal directly with this, or with any traumatic injuries. I've been trained to deal with some nasty stuff, but never (thank God) never had to use it. I just want to say, don't feel bad or take it personally if you lose someone. When it's their time to go, that's it. There's no saving them if it's their time. As far as my experience goes, let's just say there's a new picture on the "Wall of Heros".
