Touche

I never got into that in my teen years because we had Jolt Cola - branded as "all the sugar and twice the caffeine"

Edit: Now I wonder if people were going into bars back then and ordering a Jack and Jolt, thereby far preceding the Red Bull and vodka.

I remember those, Red Bull. Drank a few, but didn't notice any side effects.

Speaking of the Red Bull, one of my ex-girlfriends categorized them perfectly: "It looks and tastes like a diuretic's piss." And her father was a MD who specialized in diabetes.
