Granted, this consumption session did not qualify as what you would call "reasonable usage" or even "safe usage." I drank four large diet cokes with lunch. Did you sip them over the course of an hour, D.H.? No. Not even close. I slammed them like a frat boy in a contest afraid of having to eat sperm if he lost.
On the way home, roughly thirty minutes after starting the chugging, I first noticed I lost all depth perception. Then colors started going screwy. For a moment it was like viewing my world through an awesome Okami filter. Then the colors went away and it was 2D black n white. Then the vision started fading entirely.
I finished the drive home because I'm ballsy as fuck, but the incident did stick in my head. I've heard about these effects before, particularly amongst airline pilots. I always thought they were bullshit.
Moral of the story: they're not.
