30 V's a day? that's nearly 1 every 30 mins of normal awake time! or over $60 a day...! are you sure?

Isnt there a advisory warning on the cans of drinks such as V and Red Bull which state a recommended intake. The only V i drink has a B after it.

I think it's a maximum of 2-4 cans per day or something like that!

They are pretty potent!

Only time I've ever had V was when I had "Voon".

Voon is fantastic, it proves that two things that taste like crap can actually taste good together.

Mix Sunnyvale Fruity Lexia ("goon") in a 50/50 ratio with V and you've got yourself some Voon.

Ok had to do this, I'm a dental assistant and unless you've got really bad gums or infections in your mouth, you shouldn't be using Savacol. Its an antibacterial mouthwash with chlorhexidine. If you're worried about coffee breath or bad breath after eating, chew some sugarfree gum like extra. Also from all that coffee and Savacol youve probably got a lot of stains on your teeth. Chlorhexidine causes brown staining of the teeth with prolonged use.
Also there have been links with high alcohol mouth rinses and the links to cancer of the mouth. Either use a non alcohol based mouth rinse or chew gum for 10 minutes after a meal.
Sorry to bore you guys!!!

Correct! a friend of mines girl friend is a dental assistant and she says the same thing, flossing is also meant to be one of the most important ways to keep your mouth and teeth in good shape! _2:

I have try the chew gum method and after about 30 mins later
the smell comes back.

The specialist will do my tooth and put the screws into them (i can't
remember the exact word for that) around June 2008 as he was that busy.

2 Vs or Redbulls usually have little affect on me these days but surely by 30 you would have to be dead or not in great shape? Sounds really far fetched to me considering people have died from drinking less than 10 Redbulls.

I'm a vegetarian that could be the reason that I'm still alive
for drinking over 30V everyday for about 2 yrs.

Now i just drink coffee instead of V.

As everyones already mentioned about the Redbull situation there, that much panadol and nurofen is asking to screw your kidneys and liver, but you are right on one thing paracetamol + ibuprofen = more painkilling ability then the sum of their actions. For quite a while I was prescribed the 2x panadene fortes and 2x 200mg ibuprofen (thats a max dosage and they had to keep and eye on my kidney function) and panadene fortes dont have any extra paracetamol just codine. so i cant suggest strongly enough that the 4x panadols really is a bad idea

But V has less additives and is more palatable than Adelaide tapwater?
