Screaming girlfight caused by Energy Drink?

This last Saturday Night, a fight broke out around 3 am (Tonic club closing) at the corner of DeMaisonneuve and Atwater. The loudest female scream I had ever heard was gently thrust upon me for the duration of about 15 minutes. This was very reminiscent of the Nancy Spungen whining in Sid & Nancy. When my ears started to bleed, I finally went to the balcony to find my wife looking at the live "Cops" show below. Three squad cars where there separating some hysteric group from this small group of about 3 very loud and whinny ladies. What surprised me was that when these peace disturbing ladies finally got into their car, in whatever state of inebriation they were in, calm came back to Atwater street.

Unfortunately, I mistakenly thought they got into a Honda Ridgeline that was plastered with Base Energy Drink logos. It seems that Base had nothing to do with this drama, except trying to market their drink to club goers.

In the good old days, people would drink...get plastered and fall asleep. Now, they drink, and are wide awake, being fueled by caffeine, ginseng, ginkgo biloba and who knows what else. I actually like a Guru & Vodka every now and then, but you have to be careful with that combination...moderation is the key.

I haven't tried Base Energy drinks yet but their marketing is targeting the right crowd. As I drive to Mexico, I might just stock up on some of these drinks (minus the Vodka).

They should put a warning on those things: "Warning: Mixed with Alcohol, may cause female club goers to yell and get involved in fights at 3h00 AM. Possibility of incontinence or puking (as seen by the opposing side on our side of the street)."
