I have discovered a drink called 'Relentless'. It's the same as Red Bull, but has twice the volume for the same price. My initial bafflement at the design on the can has resolved--it's an image of a peeled human head. Good thing it's not clear. Somewhere, an advertising executive should be unemployed by now.
This stuff contains 32 mg of caffeine per 100 ml, and 0.4% taurine. I have consumed two cans (500 ml each) so I've just drunk a litre of it. That makes my maths easy. 320 mg caffeine, and 4 grams of taurine. In an hour.
Even though I have been decaffeinated for years, I have noticed no effects besides the smoke coming from my keyboard, the blur where I used to have fingers, the sudden ability to consider fifteen different viewpoints simultaneously, and the lack of sensation in my legs. There is the small issue that it's now 3:45 am and I'm not tired yet, but that's hardly a problem. I'll get more work done. It's going to be a productive night.
Tomorrow might not be so great, but that's the penalty of experimentation.
And this stuff is legal.

If there's no blog post tomorrow, have a relative let us know where to send the flowers.
Or do you live near a good cardiac hospital?
The cardiac hospital was something I did wonder about at one point.
Now I understand the image of the 'peeled head' on the can. That's how this stuff leaves you feeling in the morning.
I'll stick to sipping whisky in future.
