Holy crap, so i was working out on friday morning, i felt tired so i went the store to pick up a pack of power gel. That night, i went to a bar and then to a club to celebrate my friend's birthday. After taking shots and shots of alcohol (couple blue lambourginis), i decided to take my power gel so i can have energy to go dance with my friends..... BAD IDEA. half an hour after taking the power gel, i felt like crap. Threw up in the club's bathroom till closing, then puked somemore, all the way till 5 in the morning. I told my friends to leave me in the pool house in my condo so i can rest before i can go back into the house........ i swear, i felt like i was going to die.
Woke up the next day, puked some more, after i puked i played some unreal tournament 2004, then puked somemore and went back to sleep. Now its sunday, I feel much better, but i still feel a little funky...... This sucks, i quit drinking....

How many shots? Could be you just drank too much and are blaming the gel for what would have happened anyway (although it does sound nasty enough to induce puking, wtf is it anyway?)

i dont know what powergel is but if it is anything like gatorade i had the same problem once

Someone told me that the electrolights or whatever in gatorade made the alcohol go straight into your blood stream

this might have just been bs though

Dumbass.


In high school, I made a solution of denatured alcohol and other chemicals in a laboratory (at home) and drank a few drops in juice.
It is very painful to vomit on an empty stomach. Great pain for weeks after.

My mother thought I would die. What a wuss.

Uh, it's not the power gel's fault, although that probably contributed. You simply way overloaded yourself.

I'd say that taking an upper with a downer is a good way to give yourself a hangover.

Guess I should have mentioned that in my experience I had alcohol poisoning and vomitted for roughly 24 hours straight

That being said, I also don't really know how much I had to drink that night so it might not have been the gatorade, but normally I am good at pacing myself and knowing my limits so I always assumed the Gatorade had a lot to do with it

You are calling someone a dumbass then admit to willingly and with forethought drinking wood/isopropal alcohol? Pot meet kettle. I've heard of people drinking it accidentaly, I've heard of people drinking it to commit suicide, but people that drink it intentionally are the dumbest of them all!

About 5 years ago a friend of mine at the time took about 8 yellowjackets after drinking a sh!tload. No real effect, although he did throw up. You're both pretty stupid and you're also a wuss

I could drink all that within an hour period and have problems, but as a borderline alcoholic this shouldn't be surprising and you probably drank that over a longer period of time, I'd definately say the powergel did something to mess with you unless you're not used to drinking in large quantities

Power Gel is Maltodextrin, Water, Fructose. Nothing harmful at all. Fructose is simply a cheap form of sugar. Mixing this with alcohol will probably, if anything, will enable you to handle a bit more alcohol. Bottom line: You simply can't handle your liquor.
