\nTaro bought me an assortment of energy drinks\/vitamin elixers. I’m thinking of drinking them all in one go…
\nI used to think that mixing energy drinks and spirits would be a good idea, but this is not true. Though it often makes for nights charged full of fun and great stories, the events of a night involving this combination usually involve life-threatening situations or temporary loss of memory. The synergetic results are not a good idea under the best of circumstances.
\nGenki drinks by themselves can do wonders though. One time, I was sick with diarrhea and vomiting while riding the bus up to Hiroshima to go snowboarding with a bunch of friends. I woke up exhausted and deeply disappointed, questioning my ability to snowboard that day.
\nI crawled out of the bus and bought 3 genki drinks, downing them in quick succession, followed by a tuna mayo onigiri. Thanks to this combination I regained my strength and was able to board with no problem all day.
\nSo what will I do with these genki drinks? I don’t know just yet, but I plan on using them in a medicinal context. Sometimes not having<\/i> interesting stories is a good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
