Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I like those 2000 yen bottle drinks that give you more, "stamina" Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 of course i started out on your bog standard drinks like escapu. but i quickly realised u could get more. after a some experience with iron or royal jelly containing drinks, i settled on Guronsan strong oral liquid. currently, without coming across something with a significantly better name, i can't see myself moving from this variety.

I noticed that too! and 15-20 times the amount that you inhale from one cigarette. (according to the nutritional information) I wonder if its the real Mccoy Nicotine? because that sounds excessively high) Full of caffeine too. Nicotine in very small quantities per se is not that bad for you, (unless you are the easily addicted type), its the fact that people choose to get their fix of nicotine in conjunction with a grim reaper sackfull of carcinogens in the form of smoke. nicotine in larger quantities is toxic however, its used as a pesticide. Just like regular salt really a little is fine a large amount will kill you. Nicotine is prescribed to Alzheimers patients as its a kind of catalyst for neurological reactions or something. Also used for Tourettes Syndrome patients. Funny chemical really nicotine, (C10H14N2) an alkaloid, caffeine is an alkaloid too. (Chemistry is pretty cool stuff huh?) Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 The nicotine and caffeine are what give you that boost in normal genki drinks I thought. I actually prefer those Weider Jelly things, the vitamin and energy flavors are pretty good. Think they are probably better for you than the genki drinks cuz they dont have either nicotine or caffeine. Rach, Dunno if there are male genetilia on the front but, supposedly, there are many drinks to get (keep) it up longer. Like I said, I tried one and felt all tingly Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Many times the stores that sell those viagra type drinks have tigers in the windows. Theres a reading for that Kanji that has slipped my mind... Link to post Share on other sites
