No, that's not true, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. OH MAN I FEEL SO MUCH MORE INVIGORATED INSTANTLY AFTER DRINKING THIS CAN OF COKE. Come on, it's not THAT much of a boost.

Coke has caffiene, sugar, and little else. It wasn't manufactured for energy; just taste, really. NOS/Rockstar, however, does give me a pretty noticeable buzz.
I was thinking this same thing a semester back, though, and a group and I in my psych class actually ended up doing an experiment on Full Throttle (made by Coke O:) to see if the placebo theory was at all in effect. As much as I hate to sound like a marketing exec, F.T. actually did end up increasing heartrate and concentration.
Still, I say Mr. T should have pushed water and OJ more than he did milk. :\
But wait! this quote from the same article is also rofl inducing :
"Friends, let’s get to the facts now. Dr. Edwards Googled this Red Bull – which is nothing more than “liquid sin in a fancy tin, he put it under a Bible Scope in the Creation Science Lab. Friends, he made a startling discovery. This so-called “energy drink” is carbonated bull urine, with lemon flavoring and enough crystal meth to get a whole housing project full of Negroes tap dancing up and down the streets until dawn. "
Lately, we local ITG players have been toting around Gatorade, Powerade, etc. Those don't seem to be as chunked up with caffeine and sugar as the other kind of "energy" (stay-up-all-night) drink.
Gatorade and Powerade HYDRATE you. That's what matters when you're playing ITG. You don't want to be downing syrupy icky crap that'll screw up your system.
