Controversial energy drink promises drug-like effects

Pounding 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

LOL I don't drink Red Bull or any of the others. So I am not waiting in line to try Cocaine. I would love to buy stock in the stuff, though. It's gonna sell huge to the people that like to be cool & mix energy drinks with alcohol. Bars won't be able to keep this stuff in stock.

I'm going to try it. I'm sure this stuff though will be more than Red Bull and at 2 bucks for that can, so It wont be a daily thing.

it kinda stings when you drink. you can taste the bitterness of the caffeine.

i just bought it to see how energetic it would make me.

not very impressed.

[ss~zoso~ss]

those things dont give me energy, it just makes me sick knowing the amount of SHIT in them

and the "higher" you get the "lower" you go when it wears off, liike coming off of a cocaine binge

[StangKiller615]

I think its funny because the new Cocaine energy drink comes in a 8-pack called 8-ball.

[SSmoky01]

Buying stock in the stuff does sound like a good idea. I ain't going to try it though. I don't drink energy drinks.

I'm surprised they can market that product under the name "Cocaine"!!
