if you've ever played video games... Red Bull is the definition of a Power-up
BAM...
considered a banned stimulant for olympic athletes (makes olympians perform better?... sign me up!)
depending on where you are, the packaging label is different and actually lists the contents with quite distinct marketing/medicinal language
[ and at this point we invite expert doctors/nutritionist/chemist to chime in ]
Red Bull's primary active ingredients are Sugar, Caffeine, Choline and 1500mg of Taurine
Sugar and caffeine are widely known "energy boosters with crash later"
Choline is a B complex Vitamin (derives to B6 or B12, IIRC, but some of the labels don't explicitly mention Choline,)
the magic ingredient is Taurine...
one asian label for Red Bull describes Taurine as "Essence of Male Bull"
< like there's any other gender of bull? >
it's basically a massive shot of ready-for-uptake Testosterone
(elderly Thai men who saw you buy a few tins of Red Bull would cackle and make the stiffening member gesture -- nudge, nudge, wink, wink -- makes yer dick hard for days, young fella)
before there was Viagra, there was Red Bull.
does more than a sports drink, costs more than a sports drink.
get what you pay for with the bottled energy boosters, young jedi.
but... beware the booze and bull connection:
some people mixing red bull martini's seem to have made them lethal. actual bad chemistry (perhaps due to heart attack from metabolic spike, perhaps overheating more like some raver deaths, maybe not enough dr and too much igor)
PowerDoc might provide better explanations of the chemical interactions
It also makes me run 10k's A LOT faster. I can see why it's banned in the olympics. At 2 dollars a can, it's basically the same price as an espresso, but it does a lot more.
i perosnaly like KMX its like redbull, same ingrediants and stuff , but it tastes better. i once made a mountain de wcode red, KMX, greean aple jone's soda, and vodka mix. oh my that was crazy. like whats been said never mix caffiene and alchohol. but in regards to red bull, i odnt like it tha much but it does keep you going.
yeah, madison was a test market when i went to school out there. we mixed it with all sorts of liquor. thing was we got all we wanted for free, so i stopped drinking it when i graduated and found out it was $2 a damn can.
well after reading this stuff i want to try it...i've been looking at starting to run in the mornings perhaps i'll start with this haha
i know it would depend but approx how long does it last and how addicting is it..because i knwo caffine is VERY addictive and i definatly would not want to have any type of dependancy
not sure why u gave props to my thread here but i like it haha...i guess if u had redbull you'd be less lazy
I was referring to him simply typing the names of the ingredients into google and finding out what the hell they were himself...instead, he was too lazy and made a thread to ask other people.
So, how lazy is he? He makes threads to get answers to questions he could easily get himself if he wasn't so damn lazy.

I use Google all the time, I was merely trying to get a convo started on a topic that I find somewhat interesting. Seems like others here have enjoyed the topic as well, since at this time it is number 1. Kind of Like O'Reilly on Fox. LOL
I am looking for your opinions of the product and also your collective opinion of the "controversial" ingredients from personal use, word on the street, rumors, and general experience. Nothing more.

I wonder if you drank it with Jagermeister? Instant death, but no coughs?
It doesn't taste nice, but it does do its stuff.
One caution, dun drink beer together with red bull, its very heaty.

You guys need to be careful about Red Bull, it will f--k up kidneys.
More than that, it will allow you to drink for FAR longer than you ought to be able to, and thus put you in danger of dying from alcohol poisoning.
When I was in Europe a while back, all the kids in England were mixing Red Bull with vodka, and lots of them were dying of alcohol poisoning.
Just drink beer. Learn your body's tolerances.

Mixed it with vodka a few times, it's rather foul. I'll just stick to wonder beer.
My Goodness My Guinness.
Cheers,
