2. QUESTION:
   i drinked a whole can of spike shooter and i didn't feel anything?
   i drinked a whole can of spike shooter "energy drink" and didn't feel anything

   and everyone talks about half a can will mess you up and a bunch of stuff like that..

   why dind't anything happen to me and i drinked the whole can at once?

   • ANSWER:
     there are variables in individual tolerance's to whatever substance. it may have to do with your body weight and /or structure, or if you just ate or didn't eat at all. there have been plenty of times where i have drank and feel normal. but other people observe a change in your action and logic. it feels awful when the people you are with are yelling at you and they want you to "shut the hell up".

     this is why , when i have to deal with an individual who is under the influence, i am careful not to use the word "drunk" but by their blood count, they are "impaired".

3. QUESTION:
   Are there any websites that sell the Spike Shooter energy drink?
   At .50 a can retail, I should be able to do better online. Beverages Direct doesn't have it, and there website just directs you to 7-11 and "other fine retailers".
   I go through about 2 cases of Red Bull/Go Fast/Bing per month, so I need a good price for quantity.

   • ANSWER:
     This is the site i have always been told to send people to for purchases in quantity. https://www.t-nation.com/productInfo.do?id=1273809

     also, you might talk to 7-11's in your area, if they will cut you a deal on a case. i have several stores that do that regularly for people. you might not get as good a price as from that website, but, you also wont have to pay for shipping. also, if you live in colorado, i may be able to point you in the right direction.

4. QUESTION:
   What will happen if i mix 4 shots of vodka and a spike shooter and drink it?
   Note that I am a lightweight and that this would be all I'd drink for the night (with mass amounts of water before and after, if i can after)
   weigh 100lbs, if that works for you, and i mentioned the water for dehydration purposes, but I'm not worried about the drunk part, it's the will the mix cause an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, etc that may lead to a stroke or cardiac arrest or anything of the sort

   • ANSWER:
     being the lightweight that you are, i personally think that you would die, studies have shown that a sudden increase in heart rate (you'll get his from the spike) will cause your heart to stop beating and ultimately kill you. you should maybe have a sip of spike and a sip of vodka because it seems that even that little amount will get you completely drunk

5. QUESTION:

10. QUESTION:
    a question about spike shooter "energy drink"?
    i drinked a whole can of spike shooter "energy drink" and didn't feel anything

    and everyone talks about half a can will mess you up and a bunch of stuff like that..

    why dind't anything happen to me and i drinked the whole can at once?

    • ANSWER:
      Energy drinks affect everyone entirely different.. The way they are packaged is unrealistic.. I drank 2 Monsters the other night trying to stay awake and it didn't really help... It will depend on the person, how much food you have in your stomach, your caffeine tolerance, how much sleep you've had, and if you have psychologically fallen prey to what others tell you about it or the advertising.. The only things these drinks have that may stimulate you is caffeine; the rest of the ingredients are non active fillers regardless how big they write the words ginseng or taurine or what ever else their trying to fool us with... Might as well save your money and brew a pot of the old Maxwell House extra strong!

18. QUESTION:
    Spike Shooter Bad Experience
    Have any of you had a spike shooter? I had an 8 oz can and I drank it in about a minute. I thought oh this drink isn't buzzy like red bull and others. It also tastes good. Well I didn't feel anything for a while so I was like oh its over-rated on the can. About two hours after I felt light-headed. Then I started to get a headache. Soon after my stomach was upset and my chest felt compressed. I mildly had a hard time breathing and my heart felt like it was beating slow and fast at the same time. Then my limbs and face started to go numb. It lasted for about 15 minutes and then it just gradually decreased in discomfort. I was feeling a bit nervous when it was all happening. I won't have another again. So has anything similar ever happened to you?

    • ANSWER:
      Never had it...

21. QUESTION:
    Under age Spike Shooter energy drink?
    My son is almost 13 years old, almost 6 feet, and weighs almost 140 (all approximate). He has been bugging me about trying Spike but after reading about it, I found out how bad it can make people. So if I just let him have only 2-4 drinks out of 1 can(less then half), would he be ok, or would even that amount still be enough to do real harm to him?

    And I am talking about Spike shooter, not some other energy drinks like red bull and stuff, so like please don't say something along the lines of any energy drink doing harm at that age all I am talking about is Spike Shooter
    And he would only have like 1 can a month to drink from, or maybe not even that many

    • ANSWER:
      I do not know about Spike specifically. All I can say is that if it is taken only a little bit at a time then it really won't do anything, good or bad. Unless he is allergic to an increditent that is. It is just too little to have any affect at all.

      So what is so special about this one that he not only wants it but that you have heard so much bad stuff about it?

22. QUESTION:
    Information for Spike Shooter?
    Well I'm 12 years old and I saw Spike Shooter at GNC in the mall by my house and since I do energy drink reviews on youtube (channel name omjurmom96, just saying) I figured I would try it, but since I'm pretty young could it have a serious backlash on my health? I usually drink multiple energy drinks in a day and have downed a jolt whice has 280mg of caffeine, only 20 less then spike, and it really had no effect on me at all. So what do you think?

    is spike shooter really bad for people inder 18?

    the energy drink that is what it is right

    • ANSWER:
      Are you talking about "shooter shots"? Lol. Well, besides the fact that it's illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to consume alcohol...It wouldn't kill to take one. Don't take that as me saying, "go and do it." Consuming alcohol can lead to hundreds of negative things...My advice: wait until you're 21. You're not missing much.

29. QUESTION:
    Is there anything in Spike that can cause exceptionally vivid dreams?
    I bought a small pack of Spike energy pills last month, and I noticed that when I took them, other than the fact that they work nicely, when I go to sleep after taking them, I have very vivid dreams.

    Yesterday, I tried a Spike Shooter (an energy drink from the same people that make the Spike pills), and the exact same thing happened. Is there perhaps something in the Spike formula that can cause vivid dreams?

      Strange...I don't think so.

35. QUESTION:
    What is the most powerful energy supplement in the world?
    I have tried many supplements such as no-xplode, monster, redbull, 5 hr energy, hoodia shot(which was pretty strong). I think the spike shooter energy drink is the craziest thing i have had to date. Redline energy drink is pretty strong too tho and will really make up pumped up. I haven't tried redline power shot, or vpx meltdown line.

    • ANSWER:
      I had tried all the others and did not like them. You either had to drink a lot of it to work or they would make you bloated or both. I prefer Jack3d. It comes in a powder and you mix it with only 4 to 6 ounces of water. In about 30 minutes you are ready to go balls to the wall and are very pumped up. A sales rep at GNC told me about it and I tried it. It is crazy stuff and I will not try anything else. You can check it out at many of the supplement websites.

37. QUESTION:
    Spike energy?
    Sorry guys this is not a question but a warning.
    pls spare yourselves and do not try spike shooter energy drink. I read the lable and all that jazz and drank it this morning at around 6:40 am. right now it is 1:22 pm same day, just got back from urgent care where they had me hooked up to an electrocardiogram. I was shaking like crazy and my pulse was off the charts.

    if you do drink it and don't know what to do afterward and are panicking, my doctor told me to drink oodles of water. the more the better. this will wash it out of the system. its dangerous shit! it has 4 times the caffeine of redbull and contains a bunch of chemicals that your body does not need, especially if you are young, for example yohimbine, which is an aphrodisiac (Im still wondering why it was in there)
    that is all

40. QUESTION:
    How unhealthy are energy drinks, really?
    I generally drink 2 energy drinks every Friday one before 1st bell and one at lunch, usually either Monster M80s or any flavor of AMP or Spike Shooters, how unhealthy is this practice, really?

    • ANSWER:
      Doctors say caffeine overdoses from blending two or more sources of caffeine, including energy drinks, are on the rise, particularly among teens and young adults. A caffeine overdose can result in anything from severe dehydration to seizures, according to Dr. Ann Slattery, a clinical toxicologist with Children's Hospital in Birmingham.

      "We have always seemed to have a lot of calls about caffeine exposure throughout the years, especially high school and college students who are taking caffeine tablets just to stay up," said Slattery. "Now, with the energy drink, we are seeing more interactions where people might be drinking coffee, then an energy drink (and suffer from adverse reactions)."

      One of the problems, Slattery says, is that the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate the amount of caffeine in "herbal supplements," the category under which these energy drinks fall. To complicate matters, the manufacturers of these products don't always list caffeine by name on the nutritional label. Instead, they will use "herbal" names, like guarana or taurine, among a host of others.

      "People may not realize they're getting caffeine and not realize the milligrams of caffeine in a drink because it's not listed no the label," Slattery said.

      For example, the nutritional label on a popular 24-oz energy drink says it contains 1,000-mg of taurine and 2,500-mg of a caffeine and guarana-containing "energy blend" per serving. That's essentially 3,500-mg of caffeine in a single serving. However, just one can of the drink contains three servings--so by drinking one can, you're actually consuming 10,500-mg of caffeine!

      The figures are even more astounding when compared to the daily recommended dose of caffeine.

      "Teenagers should really limit their caffeine intake to 100 or 200 milligrams," Slattery said. "An adult should limit them to about 200 to 300 milligrams per day."

      The adverse effects of caffeine on the body can become more pronounced--and more dangerous--when energy drinks are consumed before or during physical activity, especially in the heat.

      "If you're out there in (sports) practice, you have a stimulant (caffeine) on board, you have an increase in your heart rate, an increase in physical activity, which increases your heart rate (even more), then you become dehydrated, which lowers blood pressure, which increases your heart rate...there could be some problems there," Slattery added.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, it is bad for him. Caffine is a stimulant that is designed to make a person more alert by increasing his or her heartrate. Too much of it can be a bad thing. Check your friend's pulse, if it is above 120 beats per minute, seek help immediately, and DO NOT let him drink, or take anymore!!!!!

If so, which can I upgrade to resolve this. Also, my computer takes several long minutes to load into a map room(combat arms). What could be causing this? Are these just internet phenomena or could under-performing hardware be also at fault?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      The lag spikes could either be your connection failing, or you're getting visual spikes because your computer can't maintain a decent framerate for that second. After seeing the specs of your computer (2.2ghz dual core, 1gb ddr2 ram, nvidia geforce 6150se) it's definitely your computer can't keep up hardware wise. It's a pretty ancient dinosaur sorry to tell you. The way you would never most performance increase is to upgrade from that integrated graphics card to something more decent. A great upgrade would be to the hd 5670.

    Energy drink question? Can I die?
    Well, I got a can of spike shooter, and on the side it says 18+. Does this mean I will die if I drink it?

    • ANSWER:
      If you die, wouldn't the company making the drink be responsible? I don't think the food inspector would approve it to be sold on the market then right?
