	DidGe Synergy Online 11:54 7/11/2003	gaz, beer does'nt really count beer as a drug imo try taking a few e's and playing cs, when you are 'up' you will not be able to play. so drugs wont really help you togo pro. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Lord Fondlemaid 12:17 7/11/2003	Good article Myers. I rememebr reading about this one chap who played games so much( like 12 hours a day 7 days a week) that he had to take painkillers throughout the day to deal with the pain in his wrists. I think it's certainly a concern - for example, are we raising the chances and perhaps severity of arthritis in later life? That's no joke, just speak to an arthritis sufferer... L.F.

	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 12:46 7/11/2003	n3m the maths for that doesn't really add up, if you did consume upwards fo 7500mg of caffeine in one hour. You would experience some serious problems. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Lord Fondlemaid 12:48 7/11/2003	By that rationale, given that you most likely play games to a lesser extent, would it serve you right to develop symptoms as severe, just a little later in life, perhaps at 40? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Weebull 17:00 7/11/2003	Last year, starting my Computer Science course at uni, and playing various games as well, I found myself starting to notice an odd aching feeling in my right-hand wrist. Partly due to the bad size of my desk (forcing my wrist to rest right on the corner of the desk), and also thanks to the increased amount of time I was spending on my computer. By the end of that year, the feeling, while not painful as such, was quite strong, and had been joined by the sensation that my little finger was slightly stretched out of position. With that in mind, I bought myself a rather unlikely aid during the summer: a wrist sweat-band. What this basically did was cushion my wrist against the corner of my desk (I blame my f***ing huge CRT (deep that is, not wide :/)). My wrist now feels fine, and no longer aches. 4 quid from topshop, arthritis solved! :D [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Del` Sniper's Alley 20:12 7/11/2003	n3m, I find it hard to believe you ate 7.5 grams+ of caffeine in an hour. 0.75 grams is where caffeine starts causing adverse symptoms, and according to what I read, even half what you claim to have had would cause convulsions, breathing problems and heart palpitations [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Choke\|MaT Choke 20:25 7/11/2003	that's strange our workplace encourages the drinking of coffee all day long by putting 2 free coffee machines on every floor. I swear most people go through 6 - 8 cups a day. If it was dangerous, surely that's something the workplace would not encourage, despite the fact that it keeps you more awake.
