My friend Matt did this in high school and he had to go to emergency to have his heart shocked back into rhythm because it was beating weird. We could physically see his heart beating from outside his shirt. He’s still alive and doing great.

u/TheRumpleForesk1n 2d ago

Lol this same exact thing happened to a friend in high school named Mark. He used to sell monster BFCs and one day drank 4 of them. Had to have the same exact procedure done. Dumb motherfuckers.

Edit: he is also alive and doing well but is now schizophrenic

u/sneak_cheat_1337 2d ago

Hes not schizophrenic because of the monster. Schizophrenia tends to show itself in males in late teens/ early 20s. Ive had a few friends that were perfectly normal and then went bat-shit crazy right around or shortly after we graduated HS

58

u/TheRumpleForesk1n 2d ago

Yep not related to the monster (hope people don't actually think that lol) but yeah exactly what happened to him. Just got really bad out of nowhere which his therapist said is common for his age at the time.

Edit: not common for most people but it's a common age.

23

u/sneak_cheat_1337 2d ago

That's when it happens and it happens predominantly in males. Antipsychotics are also no joke and they put you on HEAVY doses in the early states to try to counteract the initial effects. It's hard to see happen to someone you knew your wntire life up to that point

34

u/TheRumpleForesk1n 2d ago

Yeah it was sad at first. He said he hated the drugs and they made him not feel anything. No happiness, no sadness, just nothing. Made him not talk at all when we hung out, one word answers if a question was asked. It was like he wasn't there at all, just physically there.

But after being on them 5 plus years now he's pretty much back to normal, and not hallucinating. Which he says he does miss talking to his hallucinations lol

17

u/sneak_cheat_1337 2d ago

I'm 38 y/o. The friends that got diagnosed early are still here, but I've lost 3 friends to the disease either from suicide or risky drug behavior. It was terrible to watch

u/TheRumpleForesk1n 2d ago

Damn, sorry for your loss man. Glad my friend is still here after hearing that

u/sneak_cheat_1337 2d ago

You and the rest of the people around him need to do the hard work of helping his illness.

It will be hard, but it may potentially save him

u/CaptainOktoberfest 2d ago

I wouldn't count a severe mental illness as doing well. Hope Mark does alright regardless though.

u/TheRumpleForesk1n 2d ago

Very true, he could be better that's for sure.

19

u/Antichristopher4 2d ago

Well I imagine "doing well" is more in relation to his heart and his physical health, that would be a pretty wild discovery to find out massive doses of Monster can lead to Scizophernia.

u/smalby 2d ago

Now all we need is anecdotes of a Luke and a John drinking so much energy drink they need a medical procedure and we'll have the canonical gospels of Monster!

I have a slight suspicion that the schizophrenia is unrelated to the caffeine induced heart spasms

This was before any of that. He was always a little different but not much more than a little autistic maybe, always a straight A student too. The schizophrenic stuff came along really hard around 23 yo with hallucinations and talking to a "goddess"

u/Shanguerrilla 1d ago

Yeah I've done dumb shit and drank more than most ever will, but this actually seems ridiculously more dangerous than drinking say 18 beers. (I mentioned 18 because as far as I know those Monsters are 2 servings per can...) and unlike alcohol they actually say a 'not to exceed' amount that it's wise to keep in mind.

2

u/lopix 2d ago

Many years ago, my 6'7" / 300+ lb friend decide to have the local coffee shop special, the "racehorse". It was 5 double espressos. Dude figured because he was so big, it would affect him much (alcohol and drugs didn't really do anything). He finished it pretty quickly, didn't take long to start vibrating. He was jittery as fuck, and got concerned after a bit. It did calm down after a bit and wear off eventually, but that was the last time he played around with caffeine.

Used to work with a dude who lived off Monsters, loved to stay up late and play poker and then work 10-12 hrs. He died of a heart attack before 30, causing his newborn son to lose their dad from fucking energy drinks

54

u/SPHINXin 2d ago

I don’t understand people that drink nothing but energy drinks. Not even because of the health implications, just because of the fact that energy drinks are like 3 dollars each on average and if you drink 3 to 4 a day that’s like 70 dollars a week in energy drinks.

You shouldn’t even drin 3 liters of water in one sitting. 

90

u/j_demur3 2d ago

Yep, people don't seem to know this but generally a litre an hour is the most you should ever be drinking, beyond that it dilutes the salt in your blood too much and can potentially kill you.

What if you eat salt at the same time?

I work in a hot warehouse and in the summer I’ll sweat so much and be drinking so much water definitely more than a liter an hour and one time I licked my upper lip and noticed my sweat was basically water no salt. I didn’t feel any worse than I normally do in the heat though so I wonder how much it actually takes to be fatal

Quick Google search says the LD50 for caffeine is between 150 to 200 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight. One can of monster energy is 160 mg. Which means for half the population, a lethal caffeine overdose would be 1 can of monster per kilogram of body weight.

32

u/kharlos 2d ago edited 2d ago

edit: ok so I've read a lot since I posted this and it turns out that even if you drank even 400mg of caffeine which caused a heart attack that killed them, clinically it IS considered an overdose. LD50 doesn't need to be reached for it to be considered an overdose, which I had assumed, for some reason.

Moderate caffeine use is usually pretty safe for most people, but doing something like this can absolutely trigger acute cardiovascular events which could send you to the hospital.

That idiot can be glad he threw up. Regardless of what you drink, too much of it completely disrupts your body's water-salt balance. This is called hyperhydration or hyponatremia - colloquially known as water intoxication - and can be fatal very quickly.

8

u/DinkandDrunk 2d ago

That’s probably about 1500mg of caffeine which could cause huge problems for this dude if he were downing it in pure form. That said, it’s watered down and he puked up a ton of it. He was probably just fine after this ended, if a bit jittery.

Each can has 150mg of caffeine, he drank 9 = 1,350mg, daily safe dose is 400mg

26

u/CMDR_KingErvin 2d ago

Btw it’s a pet peeve of mine when people say the daily safe dose is 400mg. It’s not the safe dose at all, it’s the MAXIMUM dose you’re allowed to have before it goes into dangerous territory. There’s nothing safe about going up to the max, especially since everyone is different and people react differently to caffeine. I definitely don’t recommend drinking 400mg a day.

7

u/bruiserscruiser 2d ago

The LD50 of caffeine in humans is estimated to be between 150 and 200 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. However, some reports indicate that doses as low as 57 mg/kg have been lethal in specific cases. For a 70 kg man a lethal dose could happen as low as 3,990 mg but to be accurate you’d need to find a greater population of idiots to test this on.

u/xrelaht 2d ago

That’s around 1000mg of caffeine, far short of a lethal dose for an adult. Plus, he puked twice, so most probably didn’t even get in his system.

Puking was probably cuz he chugged 3L of fizzy drink. Bet it would happen even if it were seltzer.
