Energy Shots...are killing me!

Well, a lethal dose of caffeine is five grams, and you've only had 600mg, so you're fine there.
I don't know what that much Vitamin B6 and B12 will do, but three of those is like taking two bottles of Vitamin B complex (assuming each contains 100 pills)... that's either nothing to worry about or really serious. I couldn't find anything about Vitamin B overdose or poisoning on Google, so that probably a good sign... then again, I didn't look very hard so maybe it's not.
That being said, 5 Hour Energy is fucking awesome.

It was a crazy busy night at the bar where I work (the sold out Nickelback concert was next door). I took one just to pump me up before the shift got started.
Then my fellow bartender brought in energy shots for the whole bar staff, so we did one together.
Then we all did another one about half-way through the rush.
We got a little carried away.

wow, that's about 45 cups of tea, I drink about double that every day.

Yep. Probably a lot more, as soon as one cup of tea is finished I make a fresh one. Even if I slept for 12 hours and was only awake for 12 that's only 7 and a half cups an hour and i'm pretty sure I drink far more than that and i'm awake longer than 12 hours so 90 cups probably doesn't come close to what I actually drink.
I don't drink water (on its own), Alcohol, pop, milk (on its own) or coffee. I only EVER drink tea. I bring tea total to a whole new level.
Then I'm sure your physical illness wasn't from the shots, but from the proximity to Nickelback.
Energy drinks are invariably vile. I don't understand the popularity.

It's called an addiction. You know those people who can't last more than 5 minutes without a cigarette? well i'm the same but with Tea.
That, sir, could very well be the case.
Although I will say that the people I waited on were far less douchey than I was expecting.
Traditionally, the only energy drink I consume is Red Bull...and that's only when mixed with Jagermeister.
The energy shots don't taste bad. Kinda like liquid Jolly Ranchers.
I honestly hate energy drinks, but I've been sleeping like shit lately, and I needed a little extra kick to get through my shift. I spent most of the shift running around the restaurant and carrying heavy trays of food up and down the hotel for room service. It was like a fucking triathalon.
Yeah...might want to work on that.
I have never suffered an addiction to anything, so I really can't relate.
Wow, after so many were you like one of those Looney Tunes sketches of a walking jackhammer?
This explains sooooooo much.
