Well, I drank to many redbull and vodkas and woke up with a panic attack the next morning thinking I was having a heart attack. One of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. 3 years on and I still suffer from anxiety occasionally and I am now really sensitive to caffeine. In my honest opinion Red bull is really awful. I have never seen a warning on the can in the uk. And I was not aware of the damage it could cause as it is not very well known in the uk. I think red bull should be investigated properly about what damage its drinks cause.

Yeah Boyeee, there’s no way you could do that unless you spanned many, many, many hours between them. So if you say you didn’t, you’re completely bluffing.

There is a lot of caffeine in all energy drinks. Too much caffeine speeds up your heart rate, and if it ends up speeding up -too- much, you can have a heart attack.

Nick, Fred, here’s this for you.

I recently bought a four pack of the 250mL Red Bulls because I’ve been having a rough week, and a bit of an art block. Believe it or not, I tend to feel a little more creative with red bull in my system.

Last night, I wanted to drink two cans, but I wasn’t sure of the recommended limits. So I went to bed and got up at 2 AM in the morning (I didn’t drink the red bull late, by the way), so I went online to waste time.

Where’d I go? Google. What’d I type in? “Daily limit of red bull.”

First article I got? “Red Bull specifically states: ‘Red Bull® Energy Drink is labeled with a recommended maximum daily intake of two 250ml cans daily’ …” (http://www.thefinalsprint.com/2006/11/energy-drinks-to-drink-or-not-to-drink-that-is-the-question/) AKA, two cans.

And hm, what does this say? Research before you whine and bitch at other people because you were too lazy to search around.

And hey Nick, where’s my twenty bucks?

Where on the can does it state the warning of only drinking 2 cans a day – i brought a can last week to check it and STILL no warning on cans in the UK!…… i used to drink 6-8 cans daily as i worked long hours and it claimed to stimulate mind and body…….i suffered a brain heamorrhage, waiting for consultants information as to whether Red Bull contributed in any way to this happening.

I wonder if anyone has experienced an onset of skin infections after drinking Red Bull. My grown son has been drinking diet red bull, this is the 8th event of hospitalization for staph infection, in two years. Could this be messing with his system?

@ Nick — Get your $20 ready. If you had read the linked article, even Matthew Penboss, the guy who drank the 8 Red Bulls, admits to reading the recommended daily limit on the can. His complaint is that it should have been bigger and more explicit about what would happen if too much was consumed. In Australia and New Zealand the labeling is Federally mandated -not the case in the US. In some countries Red Bull is banned — Denmark, Malaysia, and France — and in others countries like Japan, it is only available from a pharmacy as a controlled substance.

From the original article —
…
He (Penboss) said recommendations to drink no more than two cans each day should be more prominent on cans of energy drink.

“I was fully aware that you should have two cans a day,” Mr. Penboss said.

“But they don’t tell you what the consequences could be if you do exceed the recommended dose.”

Janelle Neath, head of communications at Red Bull Australia, said the recommended daily intake of two cans a day was regulated, due to the drink’s level of niacin, a type of vitamin B, which produces its energy kick.

Um… you show me where Red Bull says to limit consumtion to two cans a day and ill give you 20 bucks. The only thing on the Red Bull website that says anything about this is “compare Red Bull consumption to that of a 8 oz cup of coffee”.

Do you research next time, and please try to prove me wrong.
