These drinks aren’t too bad, unless you take them on an empty stomach or have more than one. My worst experience so far was the night of our high school prom. I was planning to be up until about 4 am, so I drank within a 24 hour period 2 8.4 oz. spike shooters, about 8 or 9 shots of expresso, and one or two cups of coffee. Keep in mind all of this was on nearly an empty stomach, except for a sandwich at about 4 pm ( around the same time as spike #1) and a bowl of pasta at around 9:30ish.) I had the second spike during prom, and the expresso afterwards. At about 3 am, my heart was racing. I mean Racing. I was only 16 at the time, and I felt like my chest was going to explode. All of this was from the excessive caffeine that I had. I did not drink any alcohol that night, yet I was showing the symptoms from too much caffeine. Although I did not puke, I felt like I was going to between 3 and 4 when I finally fell asleep. Looking back, I realize how lucky I was to not be hospitalized. I think that the only reason that I was not seriously ill was the fact that I have a high tolerance for caffeine (I usually drink a spike before each rugby game.) For this reason, I do not recommend having more than one of these drinks, especially in conjunction with other sources caffeine and/or on an empty stomach. Although one can is almost always fine if you eat properly before, any more is just dangerous. These drinks should not be banned from schools however. If anything, their sale should be limited to 1 can per person.

if spike shooter is taken in moderation, it’s great. if morons like those high school kids aren’t allowed to get to it, great. personally spike shooter has probably saved my life on several occasions.
since i work two jobs almost everyday; landscaping in the morning and a drive-in theatre at night, i’ve found myself waking up on the wrong side of the road on a couple of occasions. if i take spike shooter at about 7pm, when i get out of work at 1am i dont have to worry about this problem, since it leaves me in an insomnia-like state. good stuff, does what its supposed to, keeps you goin for a WHILE.

Drinking a Xtazy gets me jittering really bad. Pepsi gets me a little shiver. Guess my systems like Caffeine.

Haha Vince I never noticed that! I’m 17 and everytime I go to my 7-11 to pick one up, they never ask for identification! I just had one an hour or so ago, the kick is amazing before you’re about to go work out, just not RIGHT before you work out. That’s why I wait a little. Most other energy drinks are practically soda in comparison to Spike Shooters.

I’ve definitely brought these to school before with no problems though. It’s really fun being able to stay awake all day of school haha. I’m surprised this school actually BANNED it. You should know your caffeine limits and how your body works before jumping straight into Spike Shooters, imo.

Spike Shooter is sold at my local 7-11, and unfortunately, they will sell it to just about anybody. I am not 18, and managed to purchase a Spike without a problem. Luckily, I am an experienced energy drink consumer who knows how to READ LABELS! It’s ridiculous to see how kids try to ruin energy drinks for the entire community due to a lack of responsibility all around. Shame on these kids for not reading the enormous warning, but more importantly, shame on the stores who sell such powerful drinks to underage buyers. All in all, I got a slight kick from the drink, but if you aren’t extremely caffeine tolerant like I am, Spike can pose a serious health risk.

Here in Kentucky for a time we had energy drinks limited to 18 and up. Why? Because some stupid guy drank 3 Full Throttles and went to the hospital.

first things first… I attended (sometimes) Doherty High and can tell you that Spike was not the only “stimulant” they had ingested if they had to go to the hospital. I was very active in the “stimulant” scene when i was in high school (not braging, in fact, not the best time of my life) and am almost positve that they were on something far worse than Spike at the time! I love this drink because it give a good rush with out the crash, but you have to have a high tolorance for caffine, other wise you will feel like vomiting, just like if you drank a pot of very strong coffee in one sitting!

I had my first can today and it was a disaster. I almost had to go to the hospital. I vommitted for hours was dizzy and had no clue what to do. My heart felt like it was coming out of chest. How would you like to feel nervous and sketchy for 6 hours?

I am a very experienced energy drink consumer and can consume 3-4 24 oz montsters or rock stars on a daily basis. This 8oz spike took over my body and held it hostage for 6 hours. Goose bumps and hair on arms standing straight up for entire time. Also extreme fatigue

You should get your facts strait first. It says you should be above 16 not 18. It also says start with a half can a day, not only drink a half can. If they only wanted you to drink a half can they’d sell it in 4oz.
