New energy drink. Good for boating...

I was up in Wisconsin (outskirts of Milwaukee) for a wedding this past weekend and found a new energy drink. The drink is GREAT! and is similar to Red Bull, however, it contains alcohol..6% by volume. The price is good...about 50 cents a can (so I stocked up on 4 boxes of it), and it seems to be a good drink to start off a day of boating...to get you up and moving and ready for steady beer drinking. The drink is called Ricochet. It's a private label drink produced by Albertson's grocery stores. Below is a picture of the drink and a small bio I copied from Bottlewatch.com back in January of this year...



Ricochet is a new alcoholic energy drink produced by Albertsons grocery stores.The citrus-flavored beverage, with 6 percent alcohol by volume, combines Siberian ginseng, guarana, and caffeine, to produce an energized drunken stupor. Albertson's is the first retailer to market its own private labeled alcoholic energy drink.Packaged in a sleek, eye-catching red and gold, 8.4 fl. oz slim-line can, Ricohet is available exclusively at over 2,000 licensed Albertsons and Albertsons banner stores (Jewel-Osco, Sav-on drugs, Osco Drug, Shaw's and Express Stores) across the country this month.

Back to the being in Wisconsin part. I wish I had brought the boat with me. I had no idea that the wedding was going to be at Concordia University- Wisconsin. It turns out that the University sits on Lake Michigan and our hotel was only 20 minutes away! I could have enjoyed Saturday morning cruising the lake before the wedding. After all, I was not part of the wedding so no one would have missed me if I had just happened to run late or not show up to it at all.
