Daily Dosage: Get your drank™ on

dranklogoIf you love toting anything trendy, but are a little too timid for Red Bull, I’ve got just the  beverage for you to swig while you stroll. Just don’t go too far from home – you may need a catnap after this one.

Drank is a relative newcomer to the “lifestyle beverage” community (Vitamin Water, Red Bull, Coke Plus), and just signed a distribution deal with Seven-11 convenience stores.  According to the website, Drank is perfect for those who “enjoy extreme relaxation” – cat ladies and crossword puzzle fanatics take note!

The purple potion contains a combination of valerian root, rosehips and melatonin. And, apparently, Drank is perfect for absolutely everyone: stressed kids, insomiacs, jet-set travelers – and rap superstars, who have a “relaxed style and smooth flavor,” much like Drank, it seems.

    This stuff sounds half decent. Rosehips are well known for their vitamin C content and I remember my grandmother’s valerian tisanes that did wonders to relax me when I was a high strung kid. The color of the product is uninspiring though. It looks like
    “Grape Kneehigh”

    About Me

    I'm a full-time heath & science writer at Sphere and a contributing editor at True/Slant. I also contribute military health news to Danger Room at Wired.com, and have recently written for Marie Claire, World Politics Review and Next American City.

    My first foray into journalism came in middle school - at a French-speaking plaid-kilt-wearing educational institute somewhere in the Canadian tundra. It was there that I decided to start my own newspaper, to disseminate my sarcasm and attitude problem among my peers. We lasted three issues.

    From there I started to freelance, and when I became a medium-sized fish in a small Canadian lake, I decided to move to New York, and become a spore in a vast journalistic ocean. The adventure continues.

    I try to parallel my personal interests with my professional work - so most of my writing has some connection to health, science and animal rights.

    Or on Twitter @katiedrumm.

    Otherwise, I'm either triathloning, eating, breaking my pelvis, or sleeping. Extreme, I know.
