Can you get high of energy drinks?

Question

I drank 2 red bulls and i stayed up all night w/ having to try...Now my grandma is saying that energy drinks get u high.....Is that true?Help me prove her wrong..;]

Answer 1

all red bull did for me was make me more alert and focused, but i was yawning two hours later...so there is no high. if it was a dramatic mood altering drink they wouldnt let all ages buy it at a gas station.

Answer 2

Nah. Not that i know of. They have some pretty weird stuff. They just make some people hyper and more jumpy.

Answer 3

Energy drinks are terrible. They have so much caffeine that it can get you high. Your grandma is right.

Answer 4

Yes they do. My sister bought the monster size Monster and she got hella high. She was up 3 nights in a row. She said her heart was beating faster than a mouse on a wheel.

There was even a few cases of people dieing from drinking  3 in a row.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Caffeine is a drug.  It is a stimulant.  We actually will use it in the NICU intravenously for premies that need a little boost without envirnmental stimualtion.  You will get a "high."  It is a SPEED high (or RUSH), completely different sensation from depressants such as ethanol (EtOH) which is alcohol and Tetrahydrocannibonol (THC) which is the psychoactive chemical producing the high in marijuana.

Answer 9

its a stimulant. it alters the senses by making you feel more awake. the feeling you get is from the caffeine in the drink so i guess you could say its a high. this high is nothing like drugs though. its way less intense. you would probably have to have more than 2 red bulls to feel that "high"effect.  

Answer 10

No you can't.

Answer 11

mayber she meant high-per :)

Answer 12

They don't get you high as you're probably thinking. Caffine is a stimulant. The drinks give you a lot of energy and are quite bad for you. You stayed up all night because of the energy obtained from the drinks.  

Answer 13

after about 50 of them yes, but the caffeine of about 25 of them would kill you, so.. it's possible yet not possible

Answer 14

No, it's the caffeine that kept you awake. Tell her that.

Answer 15

You don't get high. You might just get sick if you drink too many at on sitting. I had one of those "5 hour energy drinks" once, and it didn't do squat for me.

Answer 16

lol.  I doubt they can get you all too "high."  If she's talking a similar "high" to cocaine, she may be right.  They can really wire you, but depending on your body weight and style, you have to drink a lot of them.  Staying awake for long periods of time (72 hours +) can also make you hallucinate.  Caffeine can really wreck your body, so if you do it, be careful and have a sober friend near by.  2 red bulls won't get you high unless your a 2 year old girl.  You'll feel the negative effects long before the "good."  You'll feel/get: racing heart, diarhea, dilated pupils, sweating, irritable, shaky.  If you drink enough, you could OD and being to throw up, but this isn't all that easy.

Answer 17

Nope.

Answer 18

you cant get high off caffeine..

it just makes you energetic, like coffee doesnt make you high, it just gives ou a boost
