Sting Energy Drink – if you happen to see this drink, be warned! Why? Because it really stings. Honestly.
I was in the hospital that day, doing my 3 to 11 duty as a nurse trainee. It was time for supper, and so, with my co-trainees, I went to our favorite eatery. The moment I saw Sting Energy Drink, I was amazed, as it looked like a juice drink (and I really am a sucker of juice drinks rather than colas) and because it said it’s an energy drink, then I thought it might help me as I was kind of tired that time, because I didn’t get to have a fine lunch before going to the hospital.
Sting tastes good, and only that. The trouble is, it lives up to its name: it stings! I thought of leaving the drink unconsumed but it would be a waste of money. As there were chips of ice given to us by the eatery vendors, I tried putting a large one on my glass with Sting and when it became very cold, the sting has gone. Wow! It tasted perfect! All you need is to just make it very cold to get that sting feeling out.
Sting is a great drink! It has lots of vitamins (mostly B vitamins) to give you more energy to do the things you usually do everyday. You have got to try this! But like other energy drinks, it is, I think, phenylketonuric, too! Meaning, it can cause phenylketonuria. Is it a healthy drink or not? Well, just drink it moderately…

Hi Lionel! I admire your curiosity, and I must apologize for the late response, let alone having not included in the post what phenylketonuria (PKU) is.
This is from MedHelp.Org
“Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder that is characterized by an inability of the body to utilize the essential amino acid, phenylalanine. Amino acids are the building blocks for body proteins. ‘Essential’ amino acids can only be obtained from the food we eat as our body does not normally produce them. In ‘classic PKU’, the enzyme that breaks down phenylalanine phenylalanine hydroxylase, is completely or nearly completely deficient. This enzyme normally converts phenylalanine to another amino acid, tyrosine. Without this enzyme, phenylalanine and its’ breakdown chemicals from other enzyme routes, accumulate in the blood and body tissues. Although the term ‘hyperphenylalaninemia’ strictly means elevated blood phenylalanine, it is usually used to describe a group of disorders other than classic PKU. These other disorders may be caused by a partial deficiency of the phenylalanine breakdown enzyme or the lack of another enzyme important to the processing of this amino acid. A normal blood phenylalanine level is about 1 mg/dl. In classic PKU, levels may range from 6 to 80mg/dl, but are usually greater than 30mg/dl. Levels are somewhat less in the other disorders of hyperphenylalaninemia. Chronically high levels of phenylalanine and some of its breakdown products can cause significant brain problems. Classic PKU is the most common cause of high levels of phenylalanine in the blood.”
I hope this helps instead of making you more confused.. Hehe
