but "Never mind the Ovaltine" doesn't work). It claims that as a
"HI-MALT instant drink" it supplies "the energy you need for today's
hectic lifestyle".
Have the effects of hot, malted, milk drinks altered over the years?
Or have they always supplied this energy? And why am I still,
successfully, using it to get to sleep? Is it all a load of marketing
Horlicks?

No.

If they had footnotes the footnote would say "energy supplied by
carbohydrates" as some American 'energy' products do now.

Yes, I suppose.

Some people drink tea to wake up. Many others use it to calm down and
relax before bedtime.
Some people drink hot chocolate as a milder form of caffeine source.
Most find it relaxing.
Why should malted milk be different?
It doesn't have caffeine, but it certainly has sugar.
Sugar makes some people feel more energetic,
warm milk makes most people sleepy.
Yes, it's marketing.

I seem to remember seeing an ancient ad (it was on a programme about ancient
ads, I am not yet *ancient*) that claimed Horlicks 'Prevented night
starvation'. Aren't you glad we don't suffer from *that* anymore?

Apparently it was a big problem in the Crusades.
