I get more of a boost from 3 tsp. of instant tea, although the energy drink
lasts considerably longer. The tea is much cheaper and has 120 tsps. per
jar whereas a 6-pack of 5-hr. Energy Drink is $13. Hell, I pay only $16
for a 30-pack of Schaefer's beer.

Aren't those things more like credit, so you always end up paying for it
later?

"Energy drinks" are mostly sugar and caffeine. Wash down a No-Doz and a
multivitamin with a Coke and be ahead of the game financially.

I agree. There are even generic caffeine tablets that are much cheaper than
No-Doz. I use them when I am traveling to keep from falling asleep on the
road (I'm usually a passenger, so it isn't a safety issue--I just hate
nodding off and missing the scenery).

Chewing gum will keep one alert. And it calms. Mr Wriggley was on to
something.
