History

The consumption of smart drinks and "smart drugs" began in the early 1980s when baby boomers started using because they believed that these products would improve job performance and give them a competitive edge in the workplace. The popularity of smart drinks peaked during the early 1990s, as all-night techno and house music "ravers" dancing in clubs. Rave enthusiasts preferred drugs such as Ecstasy, methamphetamines, ketamine, or "poppers" to alcohol. Instead of drinking alcoholic beverages at raves, the dancers would drink smart drinks. Smart drinks not only held a novelty factor for the vibrant underground dance subculture, but they also helped rave promoters by eliminating the need to secure alcohol sales permits.

Smart drink ingredients often include substances such as DL-phenylalanine or L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, choline (trimethylaminoethanol), pyroglutamic acid, and DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol). These amino acids, to varying degrees by individual, could have positive or enhanced effects on alertness, stress resistance and energy levels. Some of the acids, then considered "foods" and nutritional supplements by government agencies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), changed in status and have since been removed from store shelves. Others are still available "over the counter" when prescribed by a doctor.
