It is unnecessary. It's not harmful unless you're diabetic. Then I'm guessing it's hell on your blood sugar.

No studies saying that the drink in general is dangerous have come to my attention. However, too much of any substance is bad. Also, if you're allergic to any individual ingredient in the drink, it can cause a reaction.
Breaking it down to the individual ingredients, it is very high in caffeine, too much of which is not good for you. And regular Red Bull (as opposed to light) has sugar, which again is not good for you in excess. Many of the other 'nutrients' in there have not had their effectiveness or the recommended daily allowance or upper limit of intake evaluated by the FDA, so don't count on any benefits.

No, not much is approved by the FDA and is as wide spread as Red Bull, is bad for you. If you have certain heart conditions, yes, your doctor will tell you to stay away from it. But other than that, Red Bull really doesn't contain many unnatural ingrediants. Basically, it's as good for you as any soda is.

It's an energy boosting drink, so to some extent it's probably not the healthiest thing in the world to be drinking if you are given a choice.
But then again, it's not the worst thing either.
Everything my friend in moderation. If you are downing these things like air, then yeah, probably not healthy.
Hope that this helps.
