Back in the Energy Drinks Game after a Brief Absence

Well I have been away from the energy drinks game for a bit as I have been busy building my first house and because I had some website issues. I would like to say thanks to all the energy drink companies that have sent me their products over the years because boy did they EVER come in handy. Being my own general contractor on top of working 10 hour days, going to the gym and trying to have a life can really take a toll on a fella... Anyways a couple noticeable things since I posted my last Energy Drink Review a couple months ago.

First off it appears that 5-Hour Energy, of which I have claimed to be madly in love with in the past and one of my favorite Energy Shots has decided to go International... Looks like their first steps across the pond are to include ventures into the UK , Ireland and Nederlands. This is great for me because the last time I went to Ireland I could only bring a couple shots due to the liquid carry on regulations from the TSA. Check out their new sites below:

United Kingdom and Ireland - 5-Hour Energy Available Now

Nederlands - 5-Hour Energy Available Now

Energy Drinks and Alcohol, a subject I had touched on back in 2007, still seems to be a hot button issue. Looks like both Michigan and Washington State have decided to ban the sale of energy drinks that contain alcohol. CNN has picked up the story here.

In other news Monster and Rockstar have unleashed a plethora of new drinks to the market, all of which I will try and review shortly. Normally, I really wouldn't pay too much heed to the new offerings and would focus my efforts on the more obscure and occult drinks, but over the years both Monster and Rockstar have added some pretty good products.

Since my last review there have been at least another 100 energy products released into the market. So even though I have reviewed almost 400 different energy related products now, I have what seems a never ending supply to keep me occupied. So cheers to all those that have read my reviews in the past and cheers to the next 400!!! Enjoy the weekend and stay tuned for the newest review shortly!
