This, I used to drink a LOT of energy drinks but I've been cutting down on that a lot this past year. Shit is just really bad for your teeth ( as are other carbonated drinks).

If you drink enough of these you can actually cause yourself some serious health problems (including certain heart diseases). Drinking 12 in a day is just crazy.

Yeah now! I mean back in the day the guy would go to ox farms and would cut out the stomachs and put it in the drinks. Also the drinks where made for sweatshop workers so that they could do 18 hour shifts. Back in the day when red bull was invented they didn't have taurine factories in Thailand.
Isn't taurine the stuff found in the testicles of an ox?

I'm don't want to drink red bull because I'm afraid it will body my heart.
It'll do what now?
Ox bile, from which the name comes from. It's in human bile too, as a matter of fact. Though nowadays it's all synthesized, of course.

I would love to try Red Bull but it's so darn expensive at every store I go to. Also they are in small cans whenever I see it. I saw my friend drink one before and he nearly finished it in a few chugs. The price for it usually ranges from $3-$5 whenever I see it.
For now I'll be sticking with Monster and Rip It being my addiction.

Caffeine addiction is real for me. Everytime I quit it is a couple days of massive headaches and nausea.

Red Bull, chocalate chip cookie and a cig is my morning ritual. 1 can a day at most.

It really bothers me that red bull isn't actually red.
OP, you're a young chap seeking thrills via weed and red bull. This is fine, it's your life (if you don't mind being a walking cliche).
But just be mindful that the things you're doing now are certainly leading you down a ruinous path. By the time you're 25 I can guarantee you're going to wake up and really regret the things you are doing right now. You're doing practically everything you can to develop long-term depression, mood disorders and other health problems. I'd wager this thread is not really about Red Bull, but a cry for help.

It's still around, you can order cases of it online. I like to say it gives you the Cocaine Cough.

Switch to zero sugar Red Bull and give zero fucks.

Mountain Dew has more caffeine and sugar than Red Bull.

Wrong:
Mountain Dew - 4.5mg/oz
Red Bull - 9.5mg/oz
Not that it means anything, strong coffee has more than both.

I just can't do carbonated energy drinks. Rockstar Roasted and Monster Rehab are about the only ones I can do.

Ok, technically you are right. I drink the 8 oz can of Red Bull or the more common way of drinking Mountain Dew is in a 20 oz bottle. Going by buying stuff at a gas station.

I'd advise you to quit drinking the stuff, OP. You're in for a shitty few days/week, but that first day you wake up and aren't in a total haze until you get Red Bull in your system, it's worth it. (There are quite a few health-related reasons to at least drastically reduce your intake, too.)

I understand a lot of people don't like energy drinks for obvious reasons but Red Bull I think is just a good tasting different drink to me. I actually enjoy the taste of Red Bull and it's cold ,slightly carbonated feel. And Red Bull is here to stay. There are plenty of alcoholic drinks that mix with Red Bull. You can't really say that about the other energy drinks.

Always wondered how red bull was still making money
Now I know
Now I know
When I was in high school, we had to do a senior project. The project didn't really have any outlines, you were supposed to use some initiative and research and design the project on your own for a presentation in front of a panel before you graduated.
I had a lazy, dumbass friend who hadn't completed his project about a week before it was due. So, he decided to do the effects of excessive Red Bull consumption on the body. He skipped breakfast and drank 12 Red Bulls between the time he woke up and about 10 a.m. in school. Got a little dizzy, a little nauseous, asked to go to the nurse's office. Didn't make it. Passed out in the hallway and woke up 36 hours later. He had almost died because (I think, don't totally remember) the amount of Red Bull he drank almost led to kidney failure. So, don't drink too much too quickly.
And if that isn't incentive enough for you to moderate, read up on the heart disease epidemic (and lawsuits) among young people who have been drinking things like 5 hour energy, Monster, and Red Bull on a daily basis for a few years.

I'm addicted to black tar heroin. We all have our little quirks.
If you keep these habits up being alive at 40 will be a miracle. Moderation is key.

Red Bull is certainly my energy drink of choice, but uhh.... be careful there with how often you drink it, that stuff can cause real damage to some of your digestive organs with so much quantity and consistency. My sister knew a kid back in high school that used to drink several Mountain Dews a day (the 1 liter size however), one day he had leave class because he was in so much pain, later found out he had basically burned a hole in his bladder from all that crap.

I never could get use to the taste of Red Bull... yet people love that stuff. I will stick with soda or water.

I've never had Red Bull but I really like Monsters. I don't drink them nearly as much as I used to though.
Maybe I'll pick up a Red Bull this weekend. I have wanted to try one for a while.

I never really cared for them. I don't get any rush from drinking one either, I'm not sure why. I don't drink coffee or anything caffeinated either so I can't see it being a tolerance or anything.
It's, like, you got wings, maaaan....
Hmmm I ask because I've had Redbulls before but they don't really do much for me.

Sugar Free Rockstars and Fruit Punch Rockstar Zero ftw. Red Bull is ok once in a while too.
