Anheuser-Busch will no longer be selling alcoholic energy drinks. This article points out that due to some pressure from state attorney generals, they can no longer sell these drinks because they were marketed towards minors. Granted Sparks is not an Anheuser-Busch product, you can only imagine that the current unhealthy legal climate will have a potentially deleterious effect on my beloved.
For those who somehow missed this craze in recent years, these drinks have canceled out any need for red bull in those instances where you were feeling a little tired to head out for a night on the town. These products had some serious side effects in addition to their many benefits. For example, long periods of sleep were not an option after a night of consuming Sparks. I personally would wake some Sundays way too early after just a few hours of sleep, heart racing and more jittery than a 1 week clean crack addict. But the few side effects were greatly outweighed by the benefits. I swear, I have never had a hang over after drinking sparks. One night I had 2 40's and somewhere between 2 and 4 Sparks, the next morning I woke up(heart racing of course) with no hangover. I may have been acting insane(dancing like a maniac at a small party), but I felt great all night and the following morning.
So in closing,Sparks has had a monumental effect on my being and I would like to use this post as a potential requiem for one of the greatest creations know to the modern college student and those few and proud who have kept the tradition alive after graduation. Please feel free to share any memories of Sparks that you may have below.

There was an old and out of touch marketing professor at JMU that allowed students to drink Sparks in class, presumably because he thought it was a soft drink. I’m pretty sure Nick and Durso had him.
