Hey,

Done a 10 hour night shift last night, came home, had a few ales (only 5), ran out of booze, need to be at a friends in 4 hours (18:00) then have another 10 hour night shift at 22:00 tonight.

How can I live until the end of said night shift?

Not recommended, pretty sure this is how all of those Korean kids end up dying from playing video games too long.

Even if it doesn't kill you, it can cause permanent brain damage and change your personality for the worse. So... get some sleep.

Mountain Dew works better than energy drinks, but expect to crash hard if you take either after it wears off.

Caffeine pills or the energy pills they have at gas stations, those should help......just be careful not to overdo it read the recommended dosage and all that on the package as it tends to be rather important. One can die from too much of that sort of thing at once.

Other then that yeah lack of enough sleep is unhealthy and I don't recommend it but its your choice.

I know many people have already done this, but I really wouldn't recommend it....otherwise, I think the only way to actually stay "functional" would be Methamphetamine...and I'm not even sure about that.

Call in sick.
Else you may end up in a hospital.

Coffee.

Lots and lots of coffee.

Dark roast.

(I really don't recommend you try to stay awake so long. Call in sick or cancel the meeting with your friend. Your health is important above all. As a college freshman, I've learned this the hard way.)
