    I'm big on them ... but I am less big ob drifting across the freeway asleep. So when I come off my day off and I'm driving across the desert you can count on one being there in my cooler beside me.

    And, sometimes that thought alone is enough to at least get there.

    So the bottle clearly says not for people under 18, yet two kids drink it anyways and complain about the adverse consequences. Somehow that's the fault of redline? When common sense fails, point the finger. The American way.

    How many other energy drinks did they have that day? The article doesn't say, nor does it give their age, but seems likely they weren't 18, and as you said, kids love these things.

    Are they good for you? probably not. Do they work? Hell yes.

    One you energy fanatics might like is Bawls. Hard to find in gas stations but tastes better than the regulars. Kind of like cream soda if you're into that. Plus it comes in a pretty blue glass bottle.

    Venom has one that tastes and smells like a wine cooler, maybe you could have stone DOT fun with that one...

    I drink energy drinks now and then, sometimes they work sometimes they dont, I would be open to sometime all natural and healthy and have ingredients that you can actually pronouce. As for people drinking to many of them I know people that have 4 or 5 cans a day and have had to quite because of adverse effects. I am sure the ban is on the way in America I think Canada has already banned some if not all energy drinks.

    Just like everything else people dont want to accept the results of their own actions and it ends up with big government having to step in and tell us what is good for us.

    So anyways back to OP a healty, all natural supplement I am sure would do well if the price is right. I know alot of people dont like the 2.99 price tag on 5 hour products but if you can work in some sale price of 2 for some 5 or something I bet it would take off good.

    I tried them a couple of times... they taste like pop mixed with cigarette ashes filtered through a dirty work sock.

    I wouldn't mind trying a tasty, healthy no-crash alternative.

    I about puked the other day. Some fat bass tard trucker was buying himself two energy drinks. He was "resting" his fat belly on the checkout counter while paying. I gurantee you his knees were 3' away from the counter, and he was standing straight up.

    Checkout gal actually sanitized the counter after he left...

    I like the Monster coffee-flavored drinks because they taste more like iced coffee than the Starbucks and Seattle's Best coffee drinks. The 5-hour energy drinks I use only rarely. If one was created using fruits and vegetables, yeah I'd try it once to see how well it worked for me. Couldn't be any worse than the rest of the energy drinks or supplements out there.
