So if you’ve ever taken the time to read the About page, you’d know that WRS was formed on just the basic idea of reviewing only energy drinks, and as you can see our ideas grew. Luckily, we’re not the only ones coming up with new ideas. Have you ever heard of an anti-energy drink? Neither had I, but thanks to the great people at the company, I had a few cans in the mail for me! The drinks may have been free, but I assure you the product won me over enough that I almost feel bad I didn’t buy it.

Being from Florida, a self proclaimed “Relaxed Lifestyle Beverage” is something I can totally get behind. The fact that my house is conveniently located about an hour away from several beaches could be attributed to that also, but my distaste for alcohol is something that doesn’t really fit in with the local crowd. Call my taste buds crazy, but the only thing I prefer burning my throat is some nice spicy food. But a drink that tastes good, has no alcohol, and chills you out? Almost sounds too good to be true. Which is exactly what I thought.

Using a select blend of chemicals that would make Alexander Shulgin proud, the crew mixed Melatonin, Valerian Root, and Rose Hips to make a sedative brew that basically tastes like Grape Sprite. Yes, Grape Sprite. The drink has a very obvious and distinct grape smell, with the natural root bitterness giving it a taste that comes very close to matching a citrus taste. This flavor combination was way better tasting than I was expecting, and in comparison makes just about any energy drink have a noticeably bad aftertaste. It’s ligher in carbonation than most soda, and way easier to drink. I can’t even say anything bad about drinking it, except for maybe the fact that the can does eventually run out of liquid.

The infamous “Slow Your Roll” sedation part is mild, but noticeable and is quite nice while I’m sitting in bed writing this. I feel slightly like I just woke up, but with total control of when I could go to sleep. I wouldn’t recommend you drink this first thing in the morning, because it’s about four hours before I usually go to sleep, and if all the lights were off, I’d be out real soon. Although, if I was out on the beach, maybe on a lounge chair, you can forget Corona, just get me a Drank.
