Hola,
Read the article on you in the Westword today while inhaling a burrito at Illegal Petes and thought I would check out your website...good stuff. I consume a lot of energy drinks during the average work day to keep my head somewhat sharp while I sit behind my desk all day using my computer to look busy (#2 of Costanza's 10 commandments for working hard). So, I hate coffee...can't stand it. For a while I drank tea, but that still din't really do it for me - thusly energy drinks made sense. I used to drink up to five Cokes per day which seriously messed with my stomach after a while and now I have tried just about every energy drink available at the 7-11 on Colfax on my way to work. So, I am in the eternal search for an energy drink that is breakfast. I have no time to wake up early and actually cook something...much easier to grab an energy drink and wait until lunch to eat. I have yet to find the ideal energy drink that meets my requirements - these include; not too carbonated (like RockStar - too much on the stomach early in the morning); Lo-Carb or 0 Calories; agreeable taste - maybe something with a morning drink flavor; and lastly something I can drink every morning and not get sick of it. The best drink I have found so far is Full Throttle Sugar free but it is wearing on me. Is there a breakfast style energy drink out there yet? I'll buy you a round at the Uptown Tavern if one can be found! Cheers,

For awhile if you needed a boast in the morning you had better like coffee or be willing to suffer through some gross Coke or Mountain Dews for breakfast. Also, I will just say if you were drinking 5 Cokes for awhile that is seriously almost 1000 calories, just something to be careful with. My favorite breakfast like energy drinks aren
