9. QUESTION:
   18 year olds have the power to drink?
   Im 18 and I dont have the right to drink because Im not 21. However I believe that if we 18 year olds wanted that right we could get it because we have the power to vote on it. We have just as much say as any other person in the U.S. Its wierd to think that we are just sitting back while we are being denied the right to drink. Im also sure that most people in their 20s and 30s would help us 18, 19, and 20 year olds out and vote with us.

   • ANSWER:
     Good luck, it was 18 and to many people in that age group proved it needed to be raised to 21. All the age law does anyway is keep the honest people honest, just like pot, the people who really want to do it, will find ways to get it. Plus I really doubt the 20 and 30 year olds are going to help you out, they had to wait so why would they want you to get a break. The way its going to I see the driving age going up in the near future for the same reason.

    Can Spilling a drink on a laptop affect the power cord in anyway?
    A while ago a I spilled a minor amount of drink on my laptop, it had no immediate effects. About 2 weeks later the power cord won't work (i know for a fact its the power cord/AC adaptor and not the battery) Would the spilled drink cause this?
    If I bought a new cord/AC adaptor, I assume its also possible they may get shorted out as well?

22. QUESTION:
    Does long extension cord drink more power?
    My parents said, long extension cord will drink more electricity. Can someone comfirm it? or does it have other problem?
    also, the long extension cord are connected to one of those mulit-plug for a PC.

    • ANSWER:
      A long cord, carrying near its rated load, loses power by heating - if you consider that drinking, then yes. It doesn't drink it all by itself. A cord has resistance. A longer cord has more. A smaller cord has more resistance than a larger diameter cord. A 100 foot 16 gauge cord - like those sold cheap in hardware stores - has enough resistance that if you pull more that 13 amps through it, the voltage at the end will drop by an unacceptable amount, so it is only rated 13 amps, not the 15 the plug would suggest or that shorter cords the same size are rated.
      It will probably not create a problem with computers, but it is critical with power saws which can burn out because they slow down at lower voltage, the back EMF falls, and they try to draw MORE amps, lowering the voltage even more.

30. QUESTION:
    how come when you soak an onion with power drink, you are able to charge mp3/ipod?
    i know it has something to do with electrolytes, but could someone that knows more explain in depth? thanks!
    *bonus! if you know a good website with info (not video, some text and pic info) please tell me!
    once again, thx

    • ANSWER:
      James

      While I do not doubt that the electrolytes in a power drink allow the onion to have an oxidation-reduction reaction that produces electricity, there are two concerns:

      Voltage - at most you will get 1 or 2 V. Is that enough to return charge to a battery in an iPod? Methinks not

      Current - how do you get the current out to feed your iPod? It's not gonna be a lot and you need to connect the terminals in the right spots p which means you really need to know the reaction itself.

      Generally thought of as a hoax. See link

31. QUESTION:
    What's the percentage of 24 Power drink market share of energy drinkd in Malaysia?
    If you manage to find articles or reports to prove,it will be a bonus.thanks. =)

    • ANSWER:
      Few months ago i did marketing research on bottled water consumption in Canada and bumped on some data for energy drinks. Without knowing Malaysia and its stats, it is tough to tell exactly, but there are some rough estimates.
      I hope you can use it as a frame and make the math yourself.
      Energy drinks count for approximately 20% of the soft drink market and the trends are for +10% growth annually (additional 2% annual bite from the soft drinks market share). Red Bull has about 40% of the energy drinks market share in NA. If there are 15 major energy drinks, and 5 of them capture 85% or over of the market share it makes that the rest are fighting for 1.5-2% each.
      Now, you can look for soft drinks consumption in Malaysia and apply this proportions.
      Good luck

35. QUESTION:
    Does the 6 hour power energy drinks work?
    This friday, im going to be training hard and i was thinking about drinking one of those 6hours power drinks. Will these work or i should by a energy drink? Does the 6 hour power drinks make you take a crap or have stomach problem?

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah, they work great for me! Kept me up all night one night and I didn't ever feel like crap. Unless you are small, like me, at the time I only weighed 115 so after I drank it I got a "Niacin Flush," which pretty much means your heart beats fast for a little bit and you get kind of light headed. But that will go away in a few minutes. Anyways, they work!

36. QUESTION:
    158 mg caffeine in a power drink what does it equal to # of cups of coffee?

    • ANSWER:
      Slinta,

      I saw your question and just about dropped over with the thought of that much caffeine being taken into the body at one time. I guess that would give you a real "high" from the caffeine and you'd have to watch out for the "crash" after having that much caffeine in your system (that is, of course, unless you are following it with another drink like that.

      A 2 oz. double espresso has from 40 to 100 mg of caffeine, so this is a pretty potent energy drink. Healthy is another question . . it may not be the healthiest thing for you. So the answer is 2-4 double espressos. WOW!

      Why are you drinking energy drinks in the first place? Need that quick burst of energy?

      Look at something that might be healthier for you. Less calories, no caffiene, no sugar, no sodium; just good things for you and it's only 20 calories. It's called NuVitae.

      Hope this helps.

    what do you think of my power drink problem ?
    there is this power drink i love it so much i always drink it im in middle school now in my seconde year so anyway this drink gives me twiches but when i stoped drinking it for like a month or less the twiches stoped but now i stared agine when i have it i just want more and more and it has thes wornings that say i must be over 16 and im not even 15 so what do you think i should do? i cant till my parents and i know im makeing a big deal of it but still what do you think
    and i do it for fun not 4 energy

    • ANSWER:
      Obviously, the right answer is to tell you simply to stop drinking them.
      I remember being a teenager I know it is very hard to really care about any future health consequences. Imagine in 2 years you simply do not have enough energy to do anything you are supposed to get done without 15 dollars of energy drinks a day. Much like I am completely useless and life hating until my morning coffee has been consumed.

      Ok, but lets make a less lofty easier to follow then complete abstinence of this beverage that gives you so much pleasure goal.

      If you do all of your homework and pass all of your tests all week you may have 2 cans over the weekend. You may have them in one sitting to get the maximum effect or stretch them out over the weekend.
      No exceptions, not I only missed one assignment or would have passed that test by one point or I got A's on all my tests so I am allowing myself to have 3 cans instead of 2.

      If you can't stick to strict no rule bending moderation then you should follow the rule of the alcoholic which is complete abstinence of the beverage.

      If you cannot stick to either of the above then tell your parents because you will need support and extra psychological commitment involving other people provides in breaking the dependence.

      And for the happy future you have ahead of you please stay away from alchohol and other drugs from the little info in your post you may be prone to substance abuse (some of us lucky ones are just wired that way) and battling the harder stuff is even less fun, its just not worth the risk to find out the hard way by testing the waters and experimenting.

      When something that was fun becomes a burden and you are still driven to do it, you need to accept and take responsibility that it is a problem.
