Amped Up
The last two times I made the all day, out and back drive to get or drop off The Boy at college, I’ve drank a can amp energy. I wouldn’t want to have some every day; but one can kept me alert for both legs of the long drive. I used to drink Propel Invigorating water before it was discontinued; but amp energy has a LOT more kick. I had not noticed any side effects; but the kids talked about how I was “Amped up”. That made me curious about other people’s experiences with energy drinks. Do they help or hurt things in the bedroom? I’ve been on the road so it hasn’t been an issue; but I wouldn’t want to drink any if it would ruin “plans” we have for later in the evening. California Girl would describe me as energetic and I’d like to keep it that way. We won’t be making another trip until sometimes next month; and by then, we like to know the effect it has on our options. I’ve always been careful not to drink too much alcohol when we go out to make sure that I’ve got enough energy for later. So, if this is the same sort of a thing, I want to know before it becomes a problem and spoils our evening.
I’ve never tried an energy drink. I’ve only tried those vitamin water ones.
That’s pretty much what Propel Invigorating Water was except it had caffeine in it. It did perky you up because if the caffeine; but it wasn’t truly an energy drink. I think one of the reasons that it got discontinued is because it was so schizophrenic. Amp definitely isn’t a water and people don’t drink it for the vitamins, minerals or essential nutrients.
Energy drinks like Amp, Red Bull, Coke Black, always give me a letdown or jittery feeling 3 hours or so after they wear off. There was a drink test marketed here called Jolt cola. “Twice the sugar and Four times the caffine of ordinary colas.” that stuff was the breakfast beverage of the all night party crowd but tore my head off. Bedroom performance varies by the mood and the mate and what her medications do to her.
Carolina Jim and Wife: I haven’t noticed a crash effect; but since I’m somewhat sensitive to caffeine and Amp keeps me “amped up” for at least 8 hours, I’m already ready to go to sleep by the time it wears off. I don’t usually drink pop except when I’m eating pizza which is no more than once a week so it’s hard to say how it compares.
