Caffeine drinks

[Dangermouse]

Went out today to do a fast 12 miler and nearly half way around I took a decent swig of a High5 caffeine drink, within 15 seconds I felt ill and had to stop and be sick, I felt good when setting off but now feel a little ill, all the other tabs I use dont seem to have this effect...........wont be using those again

I got gut rot after trying thehigh 5 zero cal caffeine tabs as well,binned them.The normal high 5 zero cal stuff i find do not aggravate me though.

I wouldn't use it. Better off with water for under 30 mile rides, and energy drink if going for more without stops.

Once you find something that you can stomach, stick with it. I still use isostar long energy, it's been out years, but only use it for very long rides. With sportives, I will use some sis black current gel, that seems ok.

Dihydrogen oxide. Dangerous stuff indeed. The constituents of this are highly flammable and in the correct concentrations are even explosive.

Can you believe that some lunatics throw the stuff onto fires ?

The drug addled dopers of the CC congregate in one thread. Call the WADA brigade to clamp down on this sort of thing.
