NEW YORK, June 6 (UPI) -- A New York man has filed a lawsuit against the makers of the Boost nutritional drink, alleging the beverage gave him an erection that lasted several days.

As part of the recent Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit, 29-year-old Christopher Woods alleged that he suffered embarrassment and bodily injuries from the days-long erection he gained by ingesting the Boost Plus Nutritional Energy Drink, the New York Post said Wednesday.

"It gave me a lot of energy -- too much energy," Woods said of the protein drink. "It was unbearable and embarrassing."

"It was awful. It was painful. I would always wear jeans but it was hard to go out, so I had to buy some sweatpants," he added.

After undergoing a pair of medical procedures to end his dilemma, Woods alleged that he is partially impotent and self conscious, the newspaper said.

Therefore he is seeking unspecified monetary compensation from the drink's former manufacturer, Mead Johnson, and is current distributor, Novartis, the Post said.
