Yes. Though the beverage is not barred from sale in Europe, some countries have indeed banned it, including Denmark, Malaysia, and France. These countries cite concern over the beverage's high level of caffeine.
Criticisms of the beverage primarily have to do with the amount of caffeine (equivalent to that found in a typical cup of coffee) and sugar (about 5 teaspoons per 250 ml can) contained in the brew. Caffeine is deadly when ingested in a massive dose, but the amount estimated to prove fatal is ten grams, which would require 125 cans of the drink. Disregarding the marketing hype, sugar is no better at giving energy than any other food or drink. The best fluids for rehydration contain just a pinch of salt and sugar, which makes Red Bull a highly unusual sports drink.

You are having other health issues if you need to drink 3 redbulls a day. Perhaps you are not getting enough sleep which a greater issue that you need to deal with other than your diet of energy drinks.

Can't be good. That is a lot of caffene and sugar to injest not to mention when you come down from that caffiene rush you are going to crash your system. Drink water, it's better for you.

Doesn't that affect your sleep? If I drank that much caffeine in one day I'd be wired for the next couple of days.
