Energy drinks, good? or stay away?

Pure oxygen, that is, at a 100% partial pressure, basically at 1atm is poisonous. So you can't really breathe pure oxygen, just air. You'll die if you breathe in pure O2.

talking about oxygen, has anybody been to those oxygen bar things?

like they have this tube that goes into ur nose, and they pump oxygen into you with flavors.

smells nice, but it was suppose to make you oxygen high... nothing happened to me.

I seen something like that in Las Vegas, but they weren't sticking the tube up their nose but rather sucking it in through the mouth. I don't get what it's all about really, I mean, getting high on air? Pfft, buncha dope-addict wannabe's if you ask me.

Stay away.

Coke Pwns!

It's not spam. It's a opinion and is to be treated equally. I am offended that you see my opinions as spam. How dare you

Soda is very good in this case that's why when people have acidity (stomach ache, or discomfort) it is advisable to have Soda.

Not so much soda, but just carbonated beverages in general. Ginger ale or carbonated water are best, because soda does have a high acidity (I already posted the relevant sections of the pH table). Besides that, the body produces its own carbonic acid when it needs buffering from waste CO2, as well as using electrolytes (like calcium, which is why inadequate calcium leads to the body leeching off the bone material). Dehydration from drinks like carbonated sugary beverages (i.e. soda) is also a cause of acidity, since many of the alkaline buffers require water (lymph, saliva).

Soda (just Water + CO2) in itself would do nothing to harm you, it's something the body has in itself anyway.

Citric acid is fine, and essential for your health (oh, as an aside, ascorbic acid = Vitamin C, but that's not in most soda either...I actually made the same mistake before). Someone already corrected it, but I'll quote them again. The citric acid is not the problem in colas, but the phosphoric acid is.

well first of all Stewie's Mind Erase Elixir is the best energy drink out there. and depending on your weight you can drink a certain amount of energy drinks. if your an average guy 1 does nothing 2 gives you a "burst" of energy 3 really gets you going 4 can get you high sometimes hallucinogenic 5 can knock you out and 6 can put you in a coma. now this is chuggin them down in a couple minutes.

best energy drink = a cup of milk + half a bottle of chocolate syrup and 6 cups of sugar.
