The Ultimate Energy Drink: Cocaine?

I don't have to tell you that energy drinks are popular, so someone had to take it to the next level with Cocaine. OK, it's not really a drink made of cocaine, only in name, but it still packs a punch says abcnews:
The 8.4 fluid ounce energy booster has no actual cocaine in it, but it does contain 280 milligrams of caffeine. According to the company's Web site, the only way to get more caffeine per ounce is with an espresso.

The beverage is marketed to give a person a "high" coupled with a tingly euphoric feeling within five minutes of drinking it. That initial boost is followed 15 minutes later by an energy buzz that will last five to six hours, according to the company.

Kirby claims Cocaine is "350 percent stronger than Red Bull" but that people do not experience the "sugar crash" or jitters that he says some of the other energy drinks can produce.

Before you run out to the store nearest you in Houston - wait - the article says it's not yet available in the Bayou City. Well not this version of cocaine anyway.
