As I stated, Japan invented an energy drink with taurine... But NOT combined with caffeine. That, was Red Bull. Simple google search complete.
I understand what you are saying, but those drinks are NOTHING like Monster, Rock Star, Red Bull etc. Yes, they are shot based... But like alcoholic shots, they are much more concentrated.
