Red Bull. 5 hour energy. Monster. Full Throttle. NOS.
Energy drinks have invaded our blood streams and drink manufacturers around the world are cashing in on it. Prior to Red Bull's debut in 1997 the world got by just fine without energy supplements: they just used coffee every morning. Well, it was either coffee or cocaine. Both tend to have overlapping ingredients as some energy drinks – the Red Bull in Germany – have shown us in the recent past.
When did everyone get so busy all of a sudden? Perhaps this point of view is biased, as I myself am not so busy at the moment. Nonetheless, today everyone seems to need a 5 Hour Energy fix or Monster hit before they can undertake any task, which might include physical and/or mental duties. Writing a paper, working a night shift, working a day shift, driving in traffic, paying attention in class, and working out. Doesn't anybody just smack themselves awake anymore? Or how about doing a few pushups? If you're strong willed and determined, you can overcome an addiction to any substance that companies are shoving down your throat.
Remember when cocaine and heroin were legal? Boy, those were the days. I certainly hope that energy supplements don't follow the same path and become outlawed. Although I don't use energy supplements myself, I sure do like what they do to other people. They keep them wired and exciting. I like being around those kinds of people.
I have a solution to solving The War on Fatigue. I'll explore it in detail tomorrow.
