Actually, caffeine can help your liver perform some functions and taurine is essential for liver function |

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 11.11.2011 | Yeah mate, i have been an idiot. I was drinking a LOT of it because i was working at a club where the manager was one of my best friends. I did not pay for a can of RedBull or a bottle of beer for year and i was drinking myself to death. I am not exaggerating but please dont take my story of over indulgence to heart. Drinking Redbull responsibly is fine. Just like doing anything responsibly is fine. My diabetes was also alcohol induced but in one evening i could have 12 bottles of beer, 4 redbulls and a pack of Jelly Bears. Do that 3 or 4 evening s a week and shit goes wrong. Having 2 cans of Redbull a day will increase your dependency on sugar and it will impair your bodies ability to process the sugar (produce enough insulin). Just have it when you really need it cus the chances are when you really want a boost you will actually need it cus your sugar may be low or your just tired. Didnt want to scare anyone.:eek:

| Nan Pechart 11.11.2011 | Definitely not a fan of Red Bull, but I'm kinda addicted to Robby Bubble. (That's some weird alcohol free fruit juice for kids, that comes in champagne bottles, which is pretty questionable, if you ask me, but I like it.) |
| Osvaldo Newhall 11.11.2011 | I heard from someone that Redbull, aside from having high sugar content, is also very bad for the liver. Is it true? I'm not a fan of any energy drink and only drink Pepsi Max or Dr Pepper when I need to wake up or some extra adrenaline but never an energy drink. |
| Brinda Tidrick 11.11.2011 | they give me headaches. Then again, I'm guessing 4 in a sitting isn't the intended approach. It does make me wonder how the hell the people that come into my bar drink Jager Bombs all evening , though. Urgh! |
| Kayce Mesia 10.11.2011 | My family owns a restaurant here, which means I could get all the beer/energy drinks/soda/food/snacks/candy I want. Could. Energy drinks and whatnot are very nice (considering the fact that I had a 23 fl oz can of AriZona iced tea, 16 oz can of NOS, or 16 oz can of Full Throttle after school almost every day), but I still prefer water or Gatorade over everything. mostapha, I see you're heavily against misinformation. |
| Roselee Jasnoch 10.11.2011 | The snow sports society at my uni is sponsored by relentless. End up getting ridiculously wired before we hit the snowdome. Also pretty sure red bull will sponsor anything that is either classed as extreme or involves staying up a long time. |

| Charline Dye 11.11.2011 | Water is all your body needs you to drink! Everything else is what marketing tells you need to drink. |
| Yong Aptekar 11.11.2011 | I'm glad I posted this thread. Karlos, thank you. You may have just inadvertently saved my life. I'm 27 and drink 2 cans a day usually. I'm not doing that anymore. I know that caffeine is bad, but never thought about the sugar. I won't be drinking as much as I was drinking. Thank you Karlos. Seriously. |
| Alexandra Nerby 10.11.2011 | I developed extreme insomnia when I was in college due to stress and was told to stop drinking anything caffeinated. That was 2 years ago. Even though I sleep fine now, I still am afraid to drink anything with caffeine, eat chocolate or drink any mixed drinks with redbull in them. I don't even drink soft drinks due to the sugar. But about Redbull, I drank 2 in a evening before and could feel my heart beating in my hands....never drank it again. |

Also, the nurse is a moron, depending on what she meant by small doses. Amphetamine in small doses isn't harmful. Plus, Caffeine and Amphetamine work on completely different systems. |

I'm tempted to do the red bull challenge next year. i believe tiesto has a record of drinking 23 of them one evening . i'll look it up |

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 10.11.2011 | How old are you dripstep..? Don't answer, it's not important. Drinking a lot of Redbull may lead to some nasty health issues. I drank a few cans at each gig, 3 or 4 gigs a week. I was also drinking a lot of Lucozade. I was doing this to be alert as my gigs and day job were clashing etc. It was all great fun. Then i suddenly got really really really bad thrush. I had my johnson looked at and the Doctor said that it was one of the worst cases she had seen in a long time. Thrush is caused my many things but in a some cases its because of too much sugar in your piss. She asked if i drank sugary drinks and a lot of alcohol. Guilty on both counts so she did a Diabetes Test and it was THROUGH THE ROOF. Diagnosis: Late onset Diabetes Type 2 caused by excessive and prolonged drinking of sugary drinks and alcohol. Type 2 does not kill like Type 1, it kills more slowly and leads to heart disease and liver and kidney failure. Prognosis: Irreversible Type 2 Diabetic for life. One nurse compared drinking RedBull in large quantities to taking amphetamines in small doses. Obviously without the psychological effects. In your 20s?, go easy. In your 30s, dont drink it. In your 40s, get checked out for Diabetes Type 2 before drinking it. My story is NOT out of the ordinary, its very common. Im as fit as a butchers dog now. Lost a stone and a half and started running again. Now, I know that you youngsters will be believeing "yeah whatever grandad"... thats cool, but i also know that there are a lot of members on here in there late 20s and 30s, maybe 40s, and trust me you guys wont be finding it so funny. Jus sayin' |
| Odis Stirewalt 10.11.2011 | pah, as a native austrian i drank too much from it already, can't even smell it anymore ^^ |
| Yong Aptekar 10.11.2011 | Oh I would be a twitchy mess 10 minutes after I got there lol how did you function with "barrels" of the good stuff? |
| Leeanna Ayla 10.11.2011 | I was shooting a Red Bull event once and they had barrels of the stuff all over the place. I was sick to my stomach by 7:00 pm. |
