We all have that one drink we usually go for when someone asks "What do you want to drink?" Sometimes, the drink we ask for depends on our mood at the moment but there's always that one drink we never get tired of. My favourite tends to change from time to time and at one point it was Coca-Cola (Coke) but I soon got tired of it. I remember how I even started buying the 1-litre bottle of Coke more than 4 times a week, definitely not a healthy choice when I think about it now.
I still take Coke these days but not as frequently as before, considering I'm now limiting the amount of sugar I take daily. For now, the one drink I will say is my favourite is an energy drink simply called "Fearless". And no, it won't make you a daredevil and take away all your fears after drinking it, I still don't understand the rationale behind that name (there's even another energy drink called "Predator"). Anyway, Fearless is my favourite because I always have a reason for taking it, as compared to other drinks.
What is this reason? To stay awake for most of the night. Fearless contains a high amount of caffeine and is my go-to drink if I intend to stay awake all through the night for one reason or the other. Back when I was in the university, I consumed a lot of Fearless when exams were getting close, because I usually read at night and need all the energy I can get. I don't even remember how I found out that Fearless could do the drink but it does it perfectly. Sometimes I don't sleep at all all through the night after taking it and the next morning, I just take my bath and head to the exam hall.
Some other times, I sleep for an hour (maybe by 5 AM And wake up around 6 AM) but it certainly does keep me awake for a very long time. I made mention of another energy drink called Predator and most people in my country prefer this one to Fearless because it is sweeter. Fearless has a bitter aftertaste and that comes from the caffeine it contains (caffeine is generally bitter). Predator also has caffeine but it's not much, hence why it doesn't have a bitter aftertaste. This also means that I still sleep off even after taking Predator.
You might be thinking "Why not just take coffee if you intend to stay awake." First of all, I don't like coffee, we are not used to it here in Nigeria. I grew up drinking hot chocolates and tea, not coffee. Also, coffee doesn't have the same effect as Fearless because I have tried taking it on a few occasions but guess what? It didn't keep me awake! Maybe I needed the same quantity of coffee just like the amount of Fearless I take at a go? Probably. Another reason is for convenience, I can just go to a stay, buy Fearless and start drinking right away. But for coffee, it needs to be prepared first (There's no Starbucks in my city or an equivalent of that)
I have recommended this same drink to people (especially students) who have things to do over the night and have trouble staying awake. For some people, it worked like magic and they testified how it kept them awake all through the night (which might seem crazy at first) but for some others like one of my friends, they said it didn't work at all (they are probably immune to caffeine or something). I have graduated from the university and my night-reading days in preparation for an examination are behind me, but I still take Fearless these days whenever I have an important project to work on all through the night.

Oh, an energy drink. I only take gatorade but it's very rare. And 5his kind of drink really has a perfect way to keep someone awake. Very helpful to someone like you who need to stay awake for some time. But taking it a lot could be bad too no? Anyways my fab drink is water hahahaha. I like coke and soda but I drink them occasionally. 🥴
You're definitely right, taking a lot of it is bad and that's why I don't drink it all the time, only when I need to stay awake all through the night 😁 thanks for stopping by Ruffa 😊
