As a customer, you're the clear winner in any kind of highly competitive market. As an entrepreneur, though, you want to stay out of those markets by all means.

4 oz. Speed
Serve neat. Garnish with wedge of kiwi.
Is "Speed" slang or?
I see Drinkify as an experiment, and perhaps there will be those that use the service for a giggle, but there isn't anything there that will help evolve humankind.
It's not really even worth discussing, is it?

Drinkify is a nice chuckle for 5 seconds. But that's all there is. It's like those short-lived YouTube celebrities.
Real entrepreneurs create value, not products. Building something of value takes a lot more time and hard work. The corollary of this, of course, is it's true for your potential competitors as well.
So, if you're worried about whether your competitors can one up you in a weekend, it might be a sign that you aren't really creating anything worthwhile. Fun, or cool? Sure. But valuable, no.
