Can you concentrate the caffeine in an energy drink by boiling it?
My friends and I always get Tab energy drinks for our sleepovers, it's become sort of a tradition. But being our adventurous selves, we wanted to try something else, something stronger.. I looked up all the strongest drinks, like Cocaine and WiredX294, but none are available here in Canada :( I live in the middle of nowhere, all I have access to is Tab, Red Bull, Full Throttle and Rockstar... So we were wondering, is it possible to boil Tab or Red Bull until some of the water evaporates to make it more concentrated? Most importantly, will the caffeine disappear when boiled, like alcohol does for example?
Answers:
I'm not sure if that would work...but drinking energy drinks all the time is not good.
While the caffeine will technically be more concentrated (unless it also evaporates), you won't have any *more* caffeine. Look at it this way:
10 drops of Orange Juice + 90 drops of water will be 10% OJ
10 drops of Orange Juice + 10 drops of water will be 50% OJ, but it's still 10 drops.
Like I said, I'm not sure if the caffeine will evaporate off, but it's kinda moot.
As a little girl, you may think that overdosing on caffeine is fun and oh so grown-up, but this is a really, really bad habit to get into. It is bad for your heart, your liver, your brain and all of its functions and your emotional stability. I could give you an answer that would work and be easier than this convoluted plan you have, but it wouldn't be to your benefit.
full throttle is the best so why would you want to drink anything else
