If you are anything like me (since you are the kind of person who reads blogs, it’s not much of a stretch to say you are like me), then you’re not a morning person.
For most Americans, that means you drink coffee.
I’ve never developed a taste for that disgusting filth beverage, so at the office that means no free caffeine for me. I mean they provide tea which I enjoy, but come on. Is tea really going to do the job when you’re running on 4 hours of sleep?
Luckily, I discovered Rockstar Juiced. AKA “manna from heaven”, this drink has gotten me through many a tough day at work. Why is it so great?
- NO
POISONHIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. - Instead, it’s sweetened with fruit juice, in this case a blend of orange, mango and passion fruit.
- It doesn’t have that revolting “energy drink” taste like Red Bull or regular Rockstar.
- It actually lists how much caffeine it has right on the can. YAY! Now I can avoid an overdose and trip to the ER.
What’s your wake up drink of choice? And be honest. Don’t tell me about your organic, green, free-trade oolong tea if you’re really drinking Starbuck’s every morning.

Starbucks. Everyday. And not just in the morning, but all day long. Sometimes, by the end of the day, I am jittering so much that strangers standing near me tell me they can hear my phone vibrating. No, that’s my goddamn heart.
Yes, every now and then I will begin the day with a tall glass of organic, fairly traded, sustainable, naturally antioxidant-rich vodka, but that’s just to take the edge off the caffeine to come.
Also, I hate fruit juice unless it is mixed with the aforementioned organic yadda yadda vodka. That energy-drink taste also mixes with vodka well.
Anyways, that’s my morning.

Mmmmm… vodka.
You know, you’d think Rockstar Juiced would be good with vodka. It’s SO not good. I can’t explain it… just awful.

I pound a diet coke in the morning whilst smoking a cancer stick on the way to work. It’s just not a morning without my two very best vices.
