leadly Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 It does make me wonder how people make it through a skirmish on a hot day! I'm sat there swigging on my 5 litre bottle of council pop while everyone else is smashing monsters and bottles of fizz! Love a cheeky lucazade sport as well!

With the possible exception of arena speedsoft, airsoft just isn't that intense, and healthy humans (or even me) do not need to burn significant amounts of carbs for energy. I went all day Sunday on ham salad and peanuts (for the salt) plus copious amounts of water, job done. No peaks or crashes, no feeling of hunger or bloating, no brain fuzz, and now I can reach past doughnuts to get to the cabbage without feeling any urge to gorge on empty calories. If you find that hard to believe, that's your addiction speaking. Tommikka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, see, what I like isn't an addiction, it's wholesome virtue. This is easy to understand, your brain is just clogged with bread and pasta. Same with airsoft. My highly realistic imitation firearms are laser accurate and an investment. Your silly toy gnus are over-priced trinkets that will break then burn your house down then call your insurance company and claim that you started the fire yourself for the money. leadly, Lozart and Impulse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago i made the huge mistake of drinking a monster energy can before a tournament and ended up with cramps and mild dehydration halfway through. Never. Fucking. Again. I hate these things on so many levels , you go in to a shop looking for some ‘full fat’ coke and it’s like your looking for a bottle of freshly squeezed baby blood ! “Oohh cokes bad for you it’s full of sugar !” BUT it’s absolutely fine to have racks full of all the brands of ‘energy’ drinks you want ? have you seen the contents of those cans of poison in comparison ? 500ml bottle of coke has 50gs of sugar(12 teaspoons worth !) and 60mg of caffeine . That’s basically it . 500ml can of monster has 54gs of sugar(13 teaspoons) and 160mg of caffeine ! BUT that’s not all it also has artificial sweeteners in it(WTF ?) plus it has Ginseng/Guarana seed extract/L-Carnitine&L-Tatrate in it which are all fast release stimulants and the last two are pure chemical ones which have proven links to heart arithmia in under 25’s ! plus the hydration value of all the energy drinks is much lower than of ‘bog standard’ fizzy drinks due to the increase of cardiac output associated with the stimulants which will cause you to sweat more and so loose more body fluid .

It's all I drink when I'm out playing. 45p for a 2 litre bottle of it from Lidl, I bring a few of them with me, all I need (if I wasn't lazy / knackered at the end of a full days game I'd take the bottles home and refill them next time).

Add to this the diuretic effects of caffeine and it gets worse I usually take my camelback and a couple of bottles of isotonic drinks. If its particularly hot I'll also bring a extra litre of water to top up the camelback if needed Rogerborg and Druid799 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylordofwaargh Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 4lt on a skirmish day, 2 on the back and 2 in the bag for refill at lunch. I do need to get in to the habit of salts and electrolites replacement. I do drink coffee like a feind though this is mostly due to getting to site early having packed properly the night before and then have little to do except chew the fat, gwak at others kit and drink coffee.

That's my exact method. Bomb up the night before,vests loaded,batts in guns. Turn up at site drink free coffee,have couple of fags and a natter. Then game on👍 Regards 11 minutes ago, Rogerborg said: Breakfast, lunch and dinner of champions.

Tactical Pith Helmet Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Can't beat a nice green tea with pomegranate and a well jellied pork pie with chilli relish; cold water pastry hard and almost shiny until you bite it in the summer. Failing that a beef and onion pie slathered in Colman's mustard and HP sauce. Quick two fingers of sloe gin in the winter and you've had the breakfast of champions. You'll be ready to take the world on. Rogerborg, Jaylordofwaargh and Druid799 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the Picard test, (and this may light up the thread) i'll take my hot drinks advice from 2 better captians from ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
