Drank


This is fascinating.
Marketed as the anti-Red Bull, the drink--called Drank--supposedly helps calm one's nerves. It contains melatonin, valerian root and rose hips. (Does anyone know what a valerian root is?)
It has its critics. For one, a Vanderbilt University pharmacist panned it. And some say it glorifies the drug culture, because "drank" comes from the hip-hop "purple drank," a potentially fatal concoction.
So maybe, to balance things out, you can have your coffee or Red Bull in one hand and your Drank in the other.
