Why even chance it? Heart attack behind the wheel - OK I understand...but falling asleep? That's on you. Thank god no one was seriously injured. Please, go buy a pedal bike and stay on the sidewalks. We have no use for you on the road.

Anything that alters your body from it's natural state is intoxication. It's like when somebody mentions DUI, everybody automatically thinks booze. It doesn't have to be as the definition is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I'm still trying to find the stats for energy drinks, keep getting ads to buy them. Also the fact that something gives a level of caffeine in a drink means that it's synthetic caffeine, not natural.
