We could use one right now. An energy drink. Then we read the warning label. Not really. But we did do a few InterWeb searches and were reminded that loads of caffeine and sugar might not be in our best health interest. What about zero sugar energy drinks? Only half as bad! With up to 300 mg of caffeine in energy drinks, compared to the 100mg in a cup of coffee, our senior citizen heart and blood pressure might not take kindly to the jolt, especially if tested on a regular basis.. Meanwhile, the UK is contemplating banning energy drinks for kids under the age of 16. What do they need more energy for anyway? Boomers deserve a Buzz! In moderation, as always. Sigh.
