sugar high

The high one gets after consuming large amounts of sugar. Also called a "sugar rush." Sugar highs cause twitchiness, spasms, and hyper excitability. Sugar highs do not last very long, and leave a person feeling drained afterwards.

Also known as a sugar rush

The intense physiological effect of consuming too much sugar or glucose, usually in the form of cakes, cookies and soda; eating excessive amounts of sugar makes the brain release dopamine and endorphins, often inducing a mild sense of euphoria and happiness. This is often accompanied by a strong surge of energy as the sugar hits the bloodstream.

Sugar highs often only last an hour or two, and as the level of glucose in the blood lowers it can often leave the subject feeling drained or unnaturally tired. If ingested with large amounts of caffeine, such as in the form of chocolate or cola, the subject can also become jittery, experience mild heart palpitations or suffer from temporary insomnia.

A sugar high, or sugar rush, is when you become hyper from eating large amounts of sugary foods. Signs of a sugar high are excitement, running and jumping around like crazy, talking quickly, and continuously eating sugary foods regardless of how full you are. Sugar highs are relatively safe, as pretty much the only risk is making you fat.

WAYS TO GET A SUGAR HIGH

If you want to get a sugar high, do ONE of the following things. Doing more than one of the following things will make you sick from eating too much.

-spend the whole day chewing sugary gum (not tested)
-have 2 or more cupcakes
-eat a large amount of funnelcake (my second favorite)

(n.) a phrase to desribe the crazy surge of energy one gets after having a large amount of sugar, similar to getting high but not as dangerous

When one is experiencing euphoria generated by cocaine or methamphetamine. Also referred to as "coke high".

A 'sugar high' is nothing more than the brain manifesting an imaginary state of hyperactivity and a 'high' because the "user" expects there to be one, not because it's actually there.

It doesn't exist. It's all in your head. Studies show that you don't get a rush from sugar. You get it from the caffeine in chocolate. I hate hearing people say, " Oh, I've got a sugar high. " It's like not taking a puff and acting like you're stoned. Just lame.
