My days in Chicago started out with a very strict routine, get up, take a shower and the most important, 2 cans of Starbucks double expresso and cream, I truly believe it is the best way to get that caffine charge, you know the one, you break out in a sweat and the hair on your back stands straight up on end! God, I loved it. In the beginning it was great to go across the street and have an expresso, then 2 and 3 and it started reaking havoc on my body. My days are switched I work in the evening to stay on American time, so the mornings I run to the office open my computer, send some emails handle some business at the winery and then Im off until 5pm, then my real day starts! I have tried every form of caffine and nothing worked, until I had my first Red Bull. Wow, I found it, my heart started pumping and I broke out in that familar sweat, I was in heaven! Then the other shoe dropped, I started having some Red Bull moments, if something was not happening at the winery fast enough ( I forgot that I was in Italy) I would have a major charge and and I became a bull in the china shop, Luckily I only put my foot in my mouth once or twice and then I realized the power Red Bull was having over me. I started drinking it in the bathroom or hidden in my office or in the car I felt that I was hiding a drug addiction it was crazy some how I had to learn how to controll this new energy drink. I started by only having one in the morning and then one after my afternoon power nap just to get me started for the night shift and then one in the middle of the night shift. I slowly started to ween myself off of this powerfull new drink, several weeks have past and I have cut back to 4 a day, I googled the sight and I asked ” how many Red Bulls is to much in a day” I was hoping to get a medical answer but my hopes were quickly doused, they said I can have as many as I want, NO this is not the answer! The story ends that if Red Bull was not a privately held company I would be a major share holder and now Vettle is my favorite Formula One driver, He drives for for RED BULL!
The American and his Red Bull!
