its fine for 1 can a day but more than that can cause the issues you have had.

Caffeine intoxication
side-effects of caffeine overdose.
Caffeine overdose can result in a state of central nervous system over-stimulation called caffeine intoxication (DSM-IV 305.90),[112] or colloquially the "caffeine jitters". The symptoms of caffeine intoxication are not unlike overdoses of other stimulants. It may include restlessness, fidgetiness, nervousness, excitement, euphoria, insomnia, flushing of the face, increased urination, gastrointestinal disturbance, muscle twitching, a rambling flow of thought and speech, irritability, irregular or rapid heart beat, and psychomotor agitation.[109] In cases of much larger overdoses, mania, depression, lapses in judgment, disorientation, disinhibition, delusions, hallucinations, and psychosis may occur, and rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue) can be provoked.[113][114]
Extreme overdose can result in death.[115] The median lethal dose (LD50) given orally, is 192 milligrams per kilogram in rats.[3] The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on weight and individual sensitivity and estimated to be about 150 to 200 milligrams per kilogram of body mass, roughly 80 to 100 cups of coffee for an average adult taken within a limited time frame that is dependent on half-life. Though achieving lethal dose with caffeine would be exceptionally difficult with regular coffee, there have been reported deaths from overdosing on caffeine pills, with serious symptoms of overdose requiring hospitalization occurring from as little as 2 grams of caffeine. An exception to this would be taking a drug such as fluvoxamine or levofloxacin, which block the liver enzyme responsible for the metabolism of caffeine, thus increasing the central effects and blood concentrations of caffeine dramatically at 5-fold. It is not contraindicated, but highly advisable to minimize the intake of caffeinated beverages, as drinking one cup of coffee will have the same effect as drinking five under normal conditions.[116][117][118][119] Death typically occurs due to ventricular fibrillation brought about by effects of caffeine on the cardiovascular system.
Treatment of severe caffeine intoxication is generally supportive, providing treatment of the immediate symptoms, but if the patient has very high serum levels of caffeine then peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, or hemofiltration may be required.

I can't even drink a cup of tea before bed, cos I like it strong, God knows what a couple of cans of that would do to me, I'd be like a squirrel on speed ;D
-
And I thought this was another F1 thread.
As a caffeine avoider I would just never drink it.
I just do not like the caffeine effects

Amnesia maybe but lack of sleep, no.
Dread to think what exploits I've been up to after a night on vodka redbull, the odd bits I remember are bad enough! ::) ::) Definately an odd experience! ;)
-
hahaha aaron, i chugged 3 cans in the space of 4 hours (roughly)
i swear it was worse than a hangover at work today :( :( :( :(
-
I generaly have at least 2 cans a day but the cheaper 'Emerge' Brand. Used to drink it alot when i trained at the gym.
-
yeah i looked at that da. 1/3 of the price too!!! however i looked at the nut. values and it had carbs in where the rebull SF didnt :y
-
mind rins or swish water about after drinking it, it really goes for yer teeth, on another not, a drink the monster, perks ye up more and tastes better :D
-
Stay well clear of that muck :y
Once worked with a bloke who lived on a diet of red bull, fags and sandwiches.
He became an psychological wreck and ended up in hospital for a month while they tried to get some strength back in his bones.
Personally I used to drink bucket loads of Virgin energy. It got to the point where I needed a can every 20 mins or so just to 'function', not that I could actually do anything apart frombe a gibbering mess.
Two cans of red bull makes me an emotional wreck, three sends me to sleep as I just shut down on it.
Nasty stuff, best avoided. :y
-
For too much time I used to work way too many hours and lived off redbull and marlborough with no real problems tbh. these days Im trying to cut back on the hours as have too much else on my plate and have gone from about 4-5 redbulls a day to maybe one of the cheaper versions every now and again. Guess proper food and drinking lots of squash is a healthier option ;DAll I got to do now is cut out the fags ::)
-
I am building a bit of a booze collection up for later this month and there are allready 12 of it on the shelf ready - well you have to when you find out that 2 younger women are planning asurprise party and both booked the day off work afterwards ::) :-X

this reminds me, I must ask for another case. A mate works for Red Bull, he gets 2 free boxes a month, he can't drink it all. He gave me a box, lasted for well over a month!

Does red bull still contain taurine which is banned in other parts of Europe ?
It's generally not good stuff to drink quite alot of reasons, I value my tickers rythm too much to drink it now. Does go too well in most cocktails though :-*

What makes you think that Cosmo Smallpiece Skruntie would have any interest in stuff like that? ::)

Personally I can't stand the smell or the taste of the stuff! Think I overdone it in Ibiza some years ago when some bars were knocking out vodka and Red Bull at around 5 Euro's a pint. ::)
