Three years ago I was using either Red Bull or Rockstar to stay alert while fishing at night, especially the ride home. One night got very dizzy on a not-so-friendly breachway...what the heck? I hadn't had anything for 5 hours....then it happened again, turns out it is "A-Fib"....atrial fibrulation...irregular heartbeat. It starts as you "come down" from the caffeine high. Not good....so I cut that out, and drink about a half of a pepsi five hours before I head home....that helps with the sugar and small amount of caffein. Nice boost, but no more of that other stuff..."cafeine management"...thats what they call it....if you get used to too much, it takes too much, but your heart doesn't like the help!
