A Shocking Blend: Vody's Hidden Alcohol and Stimulant Mix
Controversial beverage, Vody, enticing youth with its mix of 22% alcohol, taurine, and caffeine - uncovering its questionable allure.
Sporting a fashionable soda look, Vody hides a potent cocktail of alcohol, stimulants, and sweet temptation. This drink, brewed by Cody's Drink Group, is sweeping France, leaving health authorities alarmed and parents on edge.
Underneath its trendy veneer, Vody contains vodka, rum, or gin paired with energy drink basics like caffeine, taurine, and sugar. The range boasts seven variations (natural, lemon, tropical, etc.), with booze levels reaching a staggering 22 degrees - almost double the alcohol in a standard wine glass and five times more than a typical beer.
On its website, Vody describes itself as the perfect party companion for those seeking "good vibes and stamina."
A Four-Euro Temptation
Compact cans, stylish packaging, and a sweet taste that hides the alcohol - all designed to lure teenagers. The ever-popular choice among youth in the Antilles and Africa is now available in France, sold at local supermarkets and online for just around €4 for a 250ml can.
Despite the alarming alcohol content, it's the mix of caffeine, taurine, and sugar combo that health professionals warn could be perilous. Consuming too much can lead to tachycardia, dehydration, and altered perception of intoxication. Moreover, social media trends like the Vody Challenge have teens race to drink as much as possible, in the shortest amount of time.
Concerns About the Alcoholic Soda

Selling alcohol as a soda is deceptive and against the law. Additionally, Cody Drink Group, the company responsible for manufacturing Vody, has raised eyebrows due to suspicions that it does not produce in Germany as claimed and its questionable address.
