Has anyone tried a energy drink

Has anyone tried a energy drink enema and is it safe to do one

It will be interesting to see how others weigh in but I think the rule of thumb is:

if it's safe enough to drink then it's probably ok for an enema.

The only issue is how much you intend to inject. The main concern might be the amount of caffeine you would take in. Again gauge the volume of the enema solution with the same amount you typically drink at one time.

I sometimes drink an energy drink 20+ minutes after the last expulsion of a session, just to get some sugar and electrolytes into me.

I prefer Powerade, but will use an energy drink when I'm still too queasy to keep a full 32 ounces down.

I would just advise--be careful about drinking multiple energy drinks back to back. I once saw a 22year old who'd had a cardiac arrest following three such drinks in a short period of time. His family knew CPR and kept him alive somehow until I was able to defibrillate him. I was sure he was a goner but he made it.

Too much of a good thing can kill you just as easily as too much of a bad thing. All things in moderation, except moderation.

I really don't like them . I've warned my children of the dangers of drinking them too . I've read quite a few stories where they've caused a cardiac arrest , when one too many has been consumed .

As other have mentioned , these energy drink containing stimulant drugs, chiefly caffeine, which is marketed as providing mental and physical stimulation. When consumed in large amounts caffeine consumption greater than 400 mg include nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, increased urination, abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), and dyspepsia.

So as you can see an energy drink enema could potentially be fatal , so I would recommend that you do not attempt such a dangerous procedure. I seen a few people needing cardiac monitoring from drinking too much of these energy drinks.

Unless you can perform CPR on a partner or your partner can perform it on you then don't try this, even in hospital CPR is not always successful.

If you combine energy drinks with alcohol can mask the influence of alcohol, and a person may misinterpret their actual level of intoxication. Since caffeine and alcohol are both diuretics, combined use increases the risk of dehydration, and the mixture of a stimulant (caffeine) and depressant (alcohol) sends contradictory messages to the nervous system and can lead to increased heart rate and palpitations.

Excessive or repeated consumption of energy drinks can lead to cardiac problems, such as arrhythmias and heart attacks, and psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and phobias. In Europe, energy drinks containing taurine and caffeine have been associated with the deaths of athletes.

. . . . As liquidsky stated:Unless you can perform CPR on a partner or your partner can perform it on you then don't try this, even in hospital CPR is not always successful.. . .

That's an understatement.

Depending on the study you read, CPR is only effective FIVE percent of the time.

That's right, if you're in cardiac arrest and don't have a defibrillator,

95% of the time, you are going to die.

Energy drinks are dangerous to anyone who has hypertension, arrythmia , anxiety , epilepsy etc. my philosophy and all won't agree but a little goes a long way and excercise provides more energy than any stimulant ever will. I wouldn't use them in an enema .

JUST USE FREAKIN' WATER OR 0.9% SALINE.

I would be very concerned about this to due to the rapid absorption rate and the other reasons mentioned in this post. Additionally, from an EMT standpoint, if you had administered, put your kit away, reclothed, - then went Unconcious we could not provide the ER Doctors with any Mechanism of Injury/Illness, delaying resuscitation/treatment procedures.

As far as oral consumption, I would also be concerned about volume and strength of the drink to avoid aggravating the conditions Lee and others have already mentioned...
