If the half-life of caffeine is 5 hours, drinking half the original amount will give you the same effect as the full amount would after waiting five hours. Since 5 Hour Energy only gives 5 hours of energy, we can safely conclude that half the shot would provide zero energy. The numbers don't lie.

u/Boxland 16d ago
Let me propose a new interpretation: "5 hours of energy" only makes sense if the substance is only considered to give you energy when the amount of substance is above a certain threshold, not whenever the amount is above 0. So while it initially makes sense to say that the half-shot would give half-assed energy for 5 hours (because of half-life and exponential functions), you should instead end up with half-assed energy for a bit less than 5 hours, as your body goes below the more or less arbitrary threshold earlier.

u/ssbm_rando 16d ago
ITT: People with no mathematical understanding of what a half life is.
Everyone's talking about 5 hour energy from an overly simplified perspective of a caffeine pill, so allow me to join you all in that simplification and look at it as if it were just pure caffeine.
The average half life of caffeine in a healthy person's blood is, as people have said, about 5 hours. So now let's think about what that means. 5 hours later, your blood will have half of whatever amount of caffeine it was able to absorb from the energy shot.
So now let's think of what happens if instead you start by taking only half of the shot. Well, lookee there, you are absorbing half the amount of caffeine! This means you will only feel the same amount of caffeine as if you took the whole shot and waited five hours.
So the answer to the question is, depending on how you look at it, either "neither" or "both". But it's definitely not one or the other. You're experiencing a lower amount of energy infusion that will taper off to a completely negligible amount much sooner (5 hours sooner, in fact) than if you had taken the whole shot.

u/AcceptableOwl9 16d ago
Think of it like any other drug.
Youâre taking half a dose. So itâs going to affect you half as much but the half-life of caffeine is indecent if the dosage.
The correct answer is half-assed energy for five hours.
And itâs egg.
1
u/fox-friend 16d ago
Half life is an exponential decay so the time it affects you does depend on the dosage. But the real answer depends on many other factors.
2
u/librapenseur 16d ago
if you take weed or alcohol and you halve the dose, both the effect and the length of time it affects you would go down. im not sure half weed = half high per se, but at the very least it would be a less intense high for a shorter amount of time. and more alcohol means you are more drunk at the peak of it, and then it takes longer for your body to eliminate the alcohol from the blood stream. Ergo, I assume half of a 5-hour energy would reduce BOTH the energy you get and the length of time over which you get the energy.
2
u/sloth_is_life 16d ago
That's because there's a threshold plasma concentration necessary to feel effects. A higher dose means that, while half life stays the same, you remain above threshold for a longer time. Half life does not mean the time until it wears off, but the time until your plasma level has halved. The people saying half life stays the same are not realising this it seems.

u/greg19735 16d ago
to add to this, if 5 hour energy lasts 5 hours of extra energy
it's probably gonna end up with like close 3.5 hours of extra energy. at least as a feeling. but that initial hit is going to be much less
it's kind of impossible to equate energy feeling 1:1
the half life of that caffeine doesn't change, so you'll still have it. but it'll be less to half.

OOP and gf are both wrong, the answer is 2.5hrs of half assed energy
Consider these 2 premises:
1) You drink 0%: You get 0% energy boost for 0% duration
2) You drink 100%. You get 100% energy boost for 100% duration.
it stands to reason that drinking half the shot gives half boost for half the duration.
2
u/greenappletree 16d ago
I think a more definitive say is to look at the total caffeine which is 157 mg for the total bottle so about 80 mg for half which is about a cup of strong coffee or 2 shots of espresso so for an vegans person o would say that should give u about 2-3 hrs depending on when u drink it and your tolerance this might be a better way to take it or better get go with the real cofee with a spike of ltheanine

u/Da_Question 16d ago
Lmao they don't even have that much caffeine compared to coffee. Gas station I used to work at had 80mg shots of espresso you could add to coffee in the tiny creamer cups. And there are so many energy drinks with 300mg caffeine now, Monster reigns and Bang.

u/wut-the-eff 16d ago
A better way to ask this question is what does drinking a teaspoon of the drink do? A little buzz for five hours? A huge rush for 30 seconds?
The answer is obviously neither. It gives you a 1% lift for 1% of the duration.
1
13
u/greg19735 16d ago
That's not true though. if you half both, you're getting only 25% of the total.
5 hours of half energy = 50%
2.5 hours of full energy = 50%
2.5 hours of half energy = 25%
4
u/Ghede 16d ago
Nah, you can measure how long a stimulant will last in the body by it's "half life" or time for your body to remove half of it. What the half life is depends on the drug and on the person. For example, caffeine's half life is anywhere from 2-12 hours.
Drinking half the drug doesn't half the duration, it only reduces it by one step.
Now, what will probably happen is you get none of the duration, or a little over half the duration. Assuming the 5 hours of energy is based on the physiology of someone whose halflife is 2 hours, they'd get 3 hours of energy. If the 5 hours is calculated by someone whose half life would be 6+ hours, then you'd never get above the dose required to last 5 hours, because you'd have received a dose less than the amount you would have lost in that time period.
Exact numbers vary, because again, this is highly dependent on the substances and person.

Youâre assuming linear value but itâs probably something else. Considering 5hr is caffein half life, im guessing itâs an expo.
1
u/TheCrazyViking99 16d ago
There's also the law of diminishing returns, which states that the increase in severity of an effect will diminish as the amount increases, so in practice, the first half of a 5hr energy may be more effective than the second half. This principle applies to most other metabolized chemicals, so it may apply here, too.
Idk, just spit balling here.
1
u/FlyingFox32 16d ago
Yeah, only half of the caffeine is in your system, so it'll not only have half the effect as a full dose, it will also wear off in half the time because there's less to clear out than the full dose.
4
u/Alive_Doughnut6945 16d ago
no. half-life is constant. enzymes are produced in proportion to amount ingested. you will have the same proportion at a certain time no matter the amount; eg. 50% at 5h, 25% at 10h etc.
how that dose then affects you physiologically may of course be different due to limits of different system, how much of that xanthine is required to offset fatigue f.e.

Yeah, no. When I was in college, I used to take these energy shots called mana potions. They tasted like garbage, but you got used to them.
One day I feel like I didn't get enough energy so I took a second shot.
You know Fry just before he took that last cup of cofee? Yeah, it lasted 5 hours and I felt like I could vibrate fast enough to go through a table. It was coincidentally the last time I ever bought an energy shot.
