best way to keep up energy?

I know there are some pretty serious people here that have some pretty serious methods for staying awake days at a time, dancing like maniacs, sun up to sun down during WMC. I'm not a fan of Red Bull and I don't do blow, so if you have any other suggestions I'd like to hear them. What works and doesn't make you crash hardcore? I'm a big Mate tea drinker, but I doubt I'll be able to find any bottled Mate in SoBe...especially at 2am in between clubs.
Suggestions?!

a must is the power nap before going out
lots of vitamin C and B complex
the music, pick great parties and the music is always an upper, atleast for me it is
um, and eat veggies and fish, no heavy foods or fried foods
and then theres................. well you know

caffeine will make you crash. some drugs will also make you crash, maybe not that night but WMC is a week long. pace your self.

Definitely agree w/ the music...good music keeps me going. I like my afterhours trippy and heady to keep me going...I stay away from the hard stuff, that drains me way too fast.

Nutrition (ie, fuel for your dancing machine): I don't usually eat whole meals much when partying for extended periods of time so I usually try to do lots of shakes w/ a mix of good carbs, protein, and caffeine. If you find a smoothie joint make sure you ask for a scoop of protein...don't get just pure carbs in your shakes (try to make it balanced like a normal meal). If they have almonds or nuts get them to throw some in there as those are great protein/fat additions.

same here!!


one big thing i found is go with different groups of friends...if you got soemone who wants to go fri to one dj and u know another who wants to go see a sat dj...they should keep your energy level high...

i usually drink a lot of redbull + alki and that does the trick for me

cat naps help -- some down time too helps and choosing the right party

i cant fuckign wait...what djs are you planning on seeing??

i'm going completely by myself...i only know 2 people from last year and i dunno if i'll actually SEE them the entire time i'm down there cuz they like different DJs than I do.
I'm flying in Wednesday, hopefully hitting the Perfecto roof party that night, then early morning Morillo @ the space terrace, Ferry/SVD/Guetta Thurs night, probably the Radio 1 pool party for a few hours, Ultra day 1 and 2, and Armada night...and if i'm still breathing possibly Axwell on Sunday. I'm staying in SoBe til thursday so I'll have recovery/relaxation time then

ADD medicine is good. But you have to be "A.D.D."

These 5 Hour Energy Boosts are pretty wonderful, I was skeptical when I first tried one.. but it really works well, it keeps you awake and gives you energy.. i only felt it for about 3-1/2 hours thou... also it doesnt have sugar or any other additives that will cause you to have some kind of come down. There all over gas stations and drug stores on miami beach and around downtown so you can find them at early hours in the morning, this is probably the only thing id reccomend besides vitiman b or c and a good meal.

ps. taking this with ecstasy will probably give you a heart attack. lol(for anyones information)


Posted by DPetey81 on Feb-14-2008 17:52:

I second the opinion on the "5 Hour Energy" drinks. Quite effective. Loaded with more b vitamins than anything I've ever seen before. Other than that, I would say good food, along with a lot of water, would be the way to go. I'm trying to figure naps into my schedule, but it doesn't look like there will be many. Durning past party excursions, I have overlooked food for the most part. In Miami I am going to make a conscious effort to eat as often as possible, even if it's just a burger or something from a mini mart in between events. Putting anything in your system is better than nothing at all.




Edit: Oh yeah, and don't forget the crystal meth as mentioned above.

How do those five hour energy drinks taste? I guarantee you Cocaine (the drink) is exactly as effective or more, but it tastes like shit.


Posted by PatMcGroin on Feb-14-2008 18:47:

my gf tried those 5 hour energy drinks to study. didnt do shit. so i dunno. i dont believe any of that crap really. vitamins and minerals are really the only way to go in my book. that or drugs.

well done...

FOOD is your friend in this department. A lot of people neglect it, but when you're up that long your body needs some calories to burn, and not the empty calories in alcohol.
Bring some energy bars with you to clubs you plan on being at for a long time or if you goto an afterparty. It really helps out a lot.
