    I wonder if anyone unintentionally drove drunk from this. An energy drink is exactly what someone trying to be more alert would drink before driving.

      I would doubt it. It’s only 4.5% and most don’t pound down energy drinks. There’s also a taste difference.

          Yeah, I’ll often grab an energy drink from the gas station and chug it before continuing on during a long drive. Luckily I don’t drink this brand.

            But do you pound 3-4 of them in rapid succession, enough to get you drunk if they were accidentally spiked?

            I’m more concerned about people who may have substance abuse issues getting accidentally drawn in.

              I got shitfaced drunk from 4 beers once; I can’t handle alcohol for shit. But yeah, the big concern is a sober alcoholic accidentally relapsing.

                But do you chug 4 energy drinks at the rest stop? I think the original commenter’s point, energy hopefully aren’t something you drink in such large quantities.
