It is indeed very bad for you. Have a read of this:

its full of sugar and caffine. as caffine is a stimulant, it is bad for you, especially in the doses that red bull contains. its about the same as having 2 or 3 pro plus tablets.

It's the high sugar content and also caffeine that are the main bad points.. gives your hormones and insulin a bit of a high, then you get dropped back down again, which isn't so healthy.

All I know is that it's an energy-giving drink. Some people say it acts as an aphrodisiac for guys, but I think that's absolute rubbish!

i hate it, the smell alone ugh,
you would imagine it cant be good in vast quantities anyway no?
even cough sweets like TUNES carry a warning - saying only to consume so many packs a day, as well as extra strong mints and so on...
how come America has a warning label and uk does not?

I think it keeps me awake but when it wears off, it makes me sleepy.
And here's a tip. Drink 2 cans of red bull before your company medical and you will fail it on blood sugar?

I drink it sometimes if i need a little pick me up, if I've had a late night. But my Mum says that if i drink two cans in 24 hours, I'll have a heart attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i tried, and guess what..........no heart attack!!!!!!!!!!!
