But how bad do energy drinks have to taste for you to drink an entire bottle of octane booster and not realize it?

Nope. Corrected:

"Drank an entire bottle of gasoline? Never suspected that it might not be good to drink?"

Back in the day, I drank a whole bottle of Kessler's and never suspected it might not be good to drink. (It wasn't).

Maybe the energy drink version has sobered him up (or so he thinks) in the past and he didn’t pay attention to detail for obvious reasons.

The article shows a Nitrous Oxide Gas bottle, when the man drank from a bottle of liquid octane booster branded with the NOS logo.

He could not figure out why it was only available in the automotive area?

To be fair, the ‘energy drink’ is nearly as bad for him as the Octane Booster.

Unless he's a smoker.

How bad does the energy drink have to taste that he didn’t notice the difference?
