Beverage companies have been targeting gamers for a while.

Recall Harcos’ Mana Drink, Mountain Dew more than once and, of course, various Bawls brews.

The latest beverage endeavor is by Hint Inc., a company that specializes in flavored water sans sugar. Instead of rebranding an existing product with a lame gamer-esque name or some fancy art, Hint has instead decided to piggyback the popularity of Nintendo’s exercise game, Wii Fit Plus.

Drinking and gaming. We saw it happen with Halo and World of Warcraftand now a beverage company is trying to help juice up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Monster Energy drink has teamed up with Activision for a cross-promotional effort that the companies hope will help keep gamers from passing out during MW2 marathon gaming sessions.

Even more interesting are the promises on the drinks’ packaging which indicate that Monster will give away MW2games which will be available November 11, 2009 for PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows, as well as downloadable content (DLC), indicated to be available Spring 2010.

Monster may have jumped the gun because Infinity Ward’s Community Manager Robert Bowling said production on DLC hasn’t even started yet.
