I usually stock up a can or two if I am going to drive long distance.

I don't worry much about the possible health problem because I seldom drive long distance nowadays.

I only ever drink it sometimes when I'm at a bar or something, mixed with vodka. So maybe two or three cans a month or something.

It's alright if mixed like that, because you dont get the full, hundred-percent sweetness blast, but it is still very sugary regardless. I could never drink it on its own.

Red Bull alone tastes bad enough to me, so with alcohol, I don't think so. Tastes like some sort of...I dunno...artificial strawberry stuff. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Bad explanation...anyway, I haven't drank it in a couple of years, and I don't think I will if I an avoid it...need caffeine to stay awake? I'll take coffee...

When I was in Kosovo I would take it @ midnight if we were doing night raids. And 8/10 times would have heartburn @ 0330-0400. Also, it will dehydrate!

Have never used during the day, or at night mixed with vodka. I understand it allows you to party all night and work all day, but has a severe recuperation time once you stop.

Overall, it does heighten sense's, but also brought anxiety. Allowed me to do 24 hr ops while mainatining motor skills, but as mentioned created heartburn. My joes said it made me meaner, and grumpier, and they prefered to give me a nap to using it.

I would have to say bad stuff. Especially if you read the label and look up what that stuff really means!

From what I just read from Epona, I don't see how this drink is still out. Wasn't it recalled from stores a few years ago? It doesn't sound like it should have been brought back.

Tried it once last summer (northern hemisphere summer) and decided it tasted like---burning...and I, being then a 17-year old american, didn't have the alcohol. Nope, the stuff is about as redeeming as (the term is necessary, but sorry if it offends) rat piss.

Red bull is amazing, I'm addicted to the stuff!

The taste is initially offending but it grows on you...like those odd pieces of choclate left in those novelty collection of chocolates and sweets (Cadbury Roses and the like), they're not your first choice, after a while you begin to favour them!

...Anyway Red Bull is brilliant on its own, but even better when mixed with Henesee (sp?) forming the mighty "Crunk juice". They should rename Red bull "Concentraion in a can!"...despite the obvious impractical issues.

Red Bull...love it! Just don't drink 10+ at a time!

Speaking for my teeth I'd say it's a very very very very bad drink. That stuff melts your teeth away literally. I don't get why people drink it either as it tastes like cheap chewing gum.
