this is my first post, ive been checking T-Nation since ages ago and it has been an excellent source of facts, i was wondering if any of you have ever drank massive amounts of alcohol and caffeine, about 500mg-700mg of caffeine in less than a day and some over 40% alcohol shots.
Have you ever noticed the next day (without mentioning the hangover) you end up drier than a raisin and pumped up as if you have done a high rep high set full body workout LOL (i guees the diuretic effects of caffeine and the vasodillating effects of natural Nitric Oxide working “synergistically” give out those results.
I notice the vascularity effect with hard alcohol/red wine and caffeine. However, as soon as I eat, it completely disappears. I usually notice it during the time of drinking, as I usually drink two or so liters of water before I sleep and another two liters when I wake up.
When I used to drink 151 and coke, I would become a bullet proof genius for a brief period, then black out. I guess during the blackout periods I wasn’t as durable or smart, because I would usualy wake up hurtin, in the arms of a fat chick, with no idea of where I was or how I got there. So- No, I have never experienced that effect from alcohol and caffine.
Fun,Fun,Fun!
It’s interesting that you posted this because I’ve been telling people for years that I look more ripped the next day after getting ripped the night before.
I seem to notice it first thing after waking, but never really observed how long it lasts and if it’s actually discernible to others.
