Are 'energy' drinks the CHAV choice?

[taz turbo]

After having to picking up another empty 'energy' drink can thrown over my garden wall onto the driveway, I again ask myself are energy drinks the choice of CHAVs/scrotes. It's only ever energy drink cans I have to collect, and if these drinks work, WTF don't the idle pond life use the bin 30 meters down the road?

Rant over (until I witness it happen)

Either them or Stella. Funny thing is they don't need them, your average aggressive chav isn't capable of running/fighting/burglaring for more than about 30secs. A diet consisting entirely of McDonalds and cannabis tends to leave them a physical wreck.

Can't stand the things, even the smell makes me turn my nose. Don't think they're only the tipple of choice for teenage chavs; i've helped work on exhibitions for computer gaming events and kids who spend 90% + of their time in front of their computer screen try to replace sleep with them.

Nasty stuff IMO but each to their own...

They hide alcohol in the can so when a police man sees a bunch of CHAVs littering a street corner drinking energy drinks that is ok.

At least they manage to outwit her majesties finest officers of the law, they can't be all stupid then.

Crafty little buggers! I'm actually slightly impressed with that level of ingenuity, who'd have thought they had it in them?

I wonder how police deal with this 'technique'? Is there a way they can test for alcohol. (the old policeman's nose isn't the most scientific of tests if the drink reeks of energy drink) Or can they confiscate if they suspect alcohol to be present?

I know a few moshers/punk type peoples who are obsessed with that Monster energy drink.

I would say it is probably easier to test the CHAV (breathalyzer)than the drink. Im sure the police can confiscate the drink if they suspect its full of alcohol though

That's certainly not the case from what I hear. Believe it or not the Police are wise to such things, being just ever so slightly streetwise themselves!

I never said the police didnt know that this happened I merely stated that CHAVs do this with cans of energy dink .

Possibly the case, but when collected from the drive I always feel sick, partially from knowing I'm tiding CHAV rubbish (the cans not the CHAVs), but equally so with the smell of the foul tooth rot fluid left in the cans.

You cant smell the vodka when its over powered by sickly sweet smelling energy drinks

I can assure you I can, I'm well versed in the art of Vodka drinks, or Wodka as it used to be in my previous work place (country that is) for five years. My finding is the stronger the smell of the base drink it the more it carries the smell of the alcohol.

Ok leftfield idea then drag the bin that is 30 meters away closer to your house.

I think you're lucky it's just the cans, least you wing mirrors & aerials are left in one piece....get numerous calls about petty damage from these little sts,

I like most of the energy drinks. Handily, I really like one called Emerge which is about 40p in Asda as opposed to £1 for most of them.

I don't really feel much effect, unless it's a big 500ml can of Relentless, I just like the taste!

[HOGEPH]

I used to mix vodka into a can of Red Bull to drink on the train on the way to a night out in town. Drinking alcohol from a lager tin looks soooo common.

However, once I finished, I put the can in a bin.

This could be difficult from the safety and warmth of a parol car. -GET MORE POLICE ON THE BEAT.

The chav bit is the fact they chuck the tins on the floor, not the bin. Plenty of people drink them otherwise.

I have had them on occasions but I only like the V drink.

If you walk through the bracknell underpass system to or from Morrisons, you see loads of stereotyres walking about drinking either cans of Stella, or the morrisons own brand energy drink "Source".

They are always spitting on the floor and swaggering like they have a chairleg up their arse. Why they do the latter I don't know. Maybe high consumption of energy drinks leads to some kind of bone or hip disorder?
