Same here. Caffeine has virtually no effect on me.  |

| the effect of caffine depends on your body metabolism as well as how much you drink. the more caffine you drink the more tolerant you will become to its effects and the more you will need to achieve the same results. |

no side effects. it's just bout 20 cokes compressed into one yummy tasting drink.
vodka redbull always does the trick even if it specifically says not to mix with vodka which is weird cause they serve that anywhere. |

The word “downer” is slang for a large group of drugs called depressants. Downers, in general, fall into two main categories: tranquilizers and sedative-hypnotics. The term “tranquilizer” needs little explanation. “Sedative-hypnotics,” though, refer to the sedative or calming effect of all downers as well as hypnotic or sleep-inducing effect. This sedative-hypnotic property of downers is a result of their ability to slow or depress the central nervous system (CNS). In general, the effects of CNS depressants are similar to the effects of alcohol: each produces relaxation and decreased inhibition, slowed motor coordination, and lethargy.
Medically, caffeine is useful as a cardiac stimulant and also as a mild diuretic (it increases urine production). Recreationally, it is used to provide a "boost of energy" or a feeling of heightened alertness. It's often used to stay awake longer -- college students and drivers use it to stay awake late into the night. Many people feel as though they "cannot function" in the morning without a cup of coffee to provide caffeine and the boost it gives them.
Caffeine is an addictive drug. Among its many actions, it operates using the same mechanisms that amphetamines, cocaine and heroin use to stimulate the brain. On a spectrum, caffeine's effects are more mild than amphetamines, cocaine and heroin, but it is manipulating the same channels, and that is one of the things that gives caffeine its addictive qualities.
Alcohol and caffeine do not necessarily cancel out each others effects. Depending on how fast each of the elemtns is metabolized,
they can lead to a rollercoaster of effects. You can have very quick modulations in heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure. One aspect in which they 2 drugs amplify their effects is that they both lead to increased urine output (you lose more water). You therefore need to be very careful with dehydration when mixing caffeine with alcohol...esp if you are dancing

If u take an 'upper' and a 'downer' at the same time it will NOT just 'cancel out'. Pull ur brain and body in 2 completely different directions is more like it. |
