This is an excellent video that humorously parodies modern day marketing and products: Brawndo!
Sorry to sound a bit preachy here, but I really hate energy drinks. I've never gotten into them, but my roommate drank them religiously for a while.
He would drink one while working at FedEx as a loader/unloader, but finally stopped when his joints started hurting. He removed the energy drink from his "diet," and the aching went away.
I've told him time and time again that those things are death in a can, but it took a hard lesson for him to learn that. Sometime we just have to learn the hard way.
I adore my roommate, but for some time he has complained of an inability to sleep through the night, and he is always tired. Last week I said to him, "You're not going to like what I have to say: you may consider changing your diet." He finally listened and said that I may be right.
It's easy to consider ourselves "healthy" when we're not in the ER or on meds, but healthy has become such a relative term. Prior to starting the PCP I struggled with being tired all the time. Being that my passions are creative and technical, this was detrimental to my present and my future. I knew I needed a change.
I can't stress enough how much diet and exercise has literally changed my life. I used to struggle with severe ADD, but now I feel much more centered, and I can concentrate for considerably longer periods of time.
The PCP is not for everyone -- even Patrick will tell you that; but eating healthy and exercising is. It'll change your life.

Amen brother, SOOOO great how we're getting our energy back eh? I had no idea how tired out I was and how much I was missing out on my life before making these changes. keep it up David, we're gonna be living our best life yet!!!
Dude, energy drinks are the devil. Your roommates joints were probably hurting from excess iron in his system.
Like "Health Bars," energy drinks were originally designed for the very top athletes performing at the top of their sports. And now we have the FedEx man guzzling them inbetween deliveries.
More madness that appeals to the best in people through the worst of ways.
If you believe energy drinks are the work of the devil, check out this new energy drink they sell over here in Australia. It's named after the Voodoo spirit of death.

At least they're being honest about the side effects of their product I guess.
