Where to get relax drank

For the companies that are more adventurous than Pepsi, there are other ingredients, like melatonin and CBD. There are a few early studies that show it may be useful for anxiety.

Given the number of these beverages on the market, though, I suspect this prohibition is not being heavily enforced. All of these concoctions are meant to make you relaxed or sleepy, which are subjective responses.

And the stronger your anticipation is, the stronger the placebo effect will be. Faced with relatively scant scientific literature, I decide to self-experiment.

Plus, I already self-medicate with beverages — what else would coffee be for? Most of them have a distinct GNC vibe. I get it in the white raspberry flavor, which immediately takes me back to blue-flavored ICEEs at my hometown Kum and Go. It is, by far, my favorite flavor of all the drinks I sample.

In fact, I like the flavor so much that I wind up drinking them a couple times a day. If I drink two in a row, I begin to feel like my brain has been wrapped in fleece. I also seem to accomplish less. In fact, one of the things I come to muzzily realize while my brain is wearing its LL Bean Wicked Good slippers is that my capacity for work is directly tied to my ability to be focused but not relaxed.

The drink kind of looks like bizarro Red Bull. As part of my self-experiment, I decide to watch one of the presidential debates. I pound the Zenify and crack another.

He wanted to try Drank to see if it would have similar effects to cough syrup. It didn't. Both said that the drink might want to make people try cough syrup if they haven't already.

It's been called " weed in a can " and " a can of drag ass " by media, but does Drank really offer a mellow buzz?

We must admit, we were skeptical of the powers within this purple aluminum can. When somebody told us about Drank, the "extreme relaxation" beverage, two thoughts crossed our mind: one, extreme relaxation doesn't sound very fun more like a coma , and two, there's already been a relaxation beverage around for years. It's called beer. Still, "weed in a can"? We had to try it. She was definitely right on the second point.

Drank is damn tasty, bursting with sweet, carbonated grape flavors. The flavor is somewhere between grape soda and Kool-Aid, and lacks the funky herbal aftertaste of many energy drinks. But like energy drinks, it's loaded with sugar 52 grams per ounce can and percent the recommended daily allowance of vitamins B3, B6, B12, and B5.
