What about slugging Mountain Dew? I had a glass of that once and I didn’t sleep for half the night. Nearly made me crazy.
If it works for you. For a drive I shouldn’t take, I’ll slug seveal NoDoz down with a Mountain Dew.
I have another funny sailing story from my days in Milwaukee. On the way back from northern Lake Michigan one summer I found I had to leave my boat for a week in
Sheboygan, about 50 miles north of Milwaukee. The next weekend I took the bus up to Sheboygan, had dinner at the Sheboygan Yacht Club, and decided to take my boat down to Milwaukee that night. To stay awake I took three NoDoz. Then I set out down the Sheboyban River only to discover that an essenmtial drawbridge was closed, blocking me from getting out onto the lake. I returned to the YC and hopelessly tried to get even a little sleep that night before 0600 the next morning when the bridge would open. BUMMER!!
