As recently as a decade ago, coffee was the go-to pick-me-up of choice for many people. However, with the recent rise in energy drinks, it seems like coffee has new competition. “When I drink a Red Bull I feel like my energy is unlimited,” said Del Mar College student Joshua Perez. “After a few hours, I feel miserable and tired, I feel like I need…
