Controversial energy drink promises drug-like effects

cocaine energy drinkPounding that six-pack of Diet Coke do nothing but bloat you? Does it feel like someone replaced your usual brew with decaf? You could try any number of energy drinks out there, but those don't seem to do much except make your stomach turn over. You need more! More caffeine! More energy! More attitude!

More of a drug-like effect?

Apparently, the latest energy drink to hit the fast and furious market already filled with the likes of Monster, Red Bull, and Rockstar boasts the ultimate high -- one that feels like a cocaine high. Cocaine Energy Drink doesn't contain any cocaine, but with 280 mg of caffeine, it promises the "highest energy content of ANY energy drink on the market today! 350 percent greater than The Bull!"

As you would expect, drug experts, nutritionists, and parents are alarmed. However, James Kirby, the inventor of the drink, says that it does not glamorize nor promote drugs. He said, "Maybe this can help by making parents and kids not afraid to talk about drugs."

Uh, excuse me, Mr. Kirby? He must have been on something when he said something as stupid as that.

Starbucks was tested at 240 mg. Maxwell House at 80.

As someone who drinks energy drinks often, you could say i am hooked on caffine now, i can see inherant problems kids could develope if they drink these drinks. I really don't like the government making laws to control our lives but perhaps they should impose an age restriction for kids who try to buy energy drinks. I know what the affects are with these drinks. They are addicting to a certain degree. Just like adults who can't start their day without that morning cup of coffee. And with high amounts of caffine there is a drug like feel. Kids may buy this product to get what the name implies. HIGH! there has to be some longterm health affects with high amounts of caffine. especially in kids.

Stop thinking about the influence it will have on your kids, If they dont know about drugs now, they will once they reach grade school due to the fact that a 1/3 or more of the kids there will tell them about and even ask them if they want some sort of drug. Drugs have been a huge part of the world for centuries. You cant just cover it up. And though i doubt it was his original intention, your child seeing it in the store and asking you for it IS a great conversation starter. then say no, because what child needs more caffine?

Let's see, grow up, get over it, etc. Maybe he could write the book of trite. Other than this one the readers comments were pertintent and interesting

People ought to wake up and realize what these people are creating to just make the druggies in this world worse off. your kids are drinking these and so are regular people and not knowing what they are getting addicted to. Just amazes me. We should all just get high on life.

Maybe this will deter kids (and adults) from the real thing. They can be cool with this and have energy to get through the day. Caffeine, sugar, chocolate...we all have and need our fixes...at least this is a legal one. Might just be what we all need occasionally. Nobody is forcing anything...its all choice...and it might be good stuff! Can't be any worse than everything else we eat, drink, do or don't do to our bodies.
