1.0 out of 5 stars The Crack-Cocaine of Beverages 21 Aug 2011
By Dr? No.
I decided to try this after reading about a study where they gave tired drivers Red Bull which drastically improved their driving ability due to the caffeine content. I needed to drive from one end of the country to the other, overnight, after missing a night's sleep. I felt uncomfortable buying the Red Bull as it's for little children so I took the more sophisticated option of this stuff, as caffeine levels are comparable.
The alcohol and caffeine combined act as a mild, legal speed-ball: for several miles my driving was excellent and then, suddenly, the alcohol kicked in. For the next 20 miles my driving ability decreased. At one point I ended up with my car in a front garden and the bonnet in a living room. I felt so ****** I couldn't manage to exit the car and then the caffeine kicked in. Well I say the caffeine but it was probably the two, as I ended up fighting the naked occupant of the house in order to evade capture.
Luckily the car was stolen so I got away with it.
