There's a new advertiser that's just joined the BG sponsor family, Verve.
It not only has ingredients that'll keep you from dozing off in the middle of that late afternoon sales meeting, but it's loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants - giving it a big nutritional edge on typical energy drinks, and why it's billed as "the insanely healthy energy drink".
And as you know from
this post, alcohol can increase the effectiveness of antioxidants. So since an energy drink and vodka cocktail is probably on your weekend party agenda anyway, you might want to consider mixing in a healthier energy drink instead. You'll be able to party longer, while possibly doing less damage. (And what better way to get your daily vitamins?)
To help you rally when the party's running deep into the night, here are some cocktail recipes created by Verve fans. (The last one's to serve the girl you wake up with the next morning.) And for more info,
