no, you can't live forever with 5-hour energy

[hugo scar]

the whole idea is that by drinking it stops death, because it stops you from being tired. That is not how biology works. first of all, it does nothing to prevent natural causes like hearts attacks and strokes, it also does nothing to age related diseases like Alzheimer's cancer.
additionally, plaques would still build up in the heart and make blood moving more difficult, and the organs would also still become exhausted.

just replace your organs with cyber-tech, and implement brain chips ..

Fun fact: Jesus resurrecting was not some divine miracle. Somebody just slipped him some 5 Hour Energy three days after he died!

That's why he didn't stick around: He only had enough juice left in him for 5 hours.

But you get such a sugar/caffeine rush that you think time is going on forever.

that is the correct way to live forever along with spirituality enabling immortality

You got it wrong:
The simple act of being awake causes brain damage vs sleeping, which causes brain repair.

If you sleep and never wake up: You live forever.
Trust me, I'm a scientist.

people actually thought that? who ??

[Stranger]

when I was in my waking coma I didn't have to sleep. so whatever triggers sleep is tied to the mind/body interface somehow.

The original post did get something correct.

People completely misunderstand stimulants.

They don't give people energy. All they do is block the fatigue signals- which are there for a reason.

What I want to know is who thought you could live forever with 5 hour energy in the first place

[Stranger]

Technically they send erroneous 'wake up' signals, as the body otherwise doesn't use or process stimulants from a hormonal perspective. The entire chemical chain revolving around stimulants dead-ends at the 'wake up' signal, and gets recycled by the 'go to sleep' signals. If we didn't need sleep (for whatever reason) they'd do absolutely nothing.

Unlike almost every other process in the body. As if someone inserted it somehow, and then hooked it into the rest of the body as a completely self-contained system. Again, body doesn't work like that normally.

Pretty sure using 5 hour energy to stay awake not only doesn't prevent heart attacks but is likely to cause one.

What is this? Some kind of crappy energy drink? meh

I heard from a real scientist that you could become 150 years old just by drinking whiskey.
I'll see if he's right eventually.

It's a small container of stuff you drink that has tons of caffeine and sugar; I don't watch TV much anymore but it was advertized to be to combat feeling tired at work in the afternoon.

Only dimwits drink energy drinks. They don`t give any energy, they just borrow energy from your body making the brain think that body is not tired. And like with every borrowed thing the debt collectors are gone come visit leading to decline of body and health.

I like to own it but not drink it often. Basically if you ever have one of those nights where you start out stressed for tomorrow and later end up getting stressed that you aren't getting enough sleep (which stops you from sleeping) just knowing you have a nuclear option can take some of that stress away. Then finally if that doesn't you drink it partway through the workday; if you *crash after work that doesn't matter as much as being tired at work.

*5 hour energy commercials advertize no crash even though it absolutely does have one.
