we have all heard the urban legends, Red Bull is banned in some countrys, it can give you a brain tumour, but is there any truth as I'm found downing about 8 cans mixed with vodka at the weekends should i be worried my brain will explode or would that make a good party act?

Only if the wax in your wings melt if you fly too close to the sun...seriously though...there have been cases where people mix it with spirits and go on a binge...serious complications...it is a stimulant.

Yeah if your allergic to it...and they have natural stimulants that could adversely effect someone with certain heart conditions. But then again the commercials do claim it gives you wings so maybe there trying to tell us something lol BTW Last week on the news they reported that traces of cocaine were found in Red Bull in Germany ..Google it you'll get the news on it. Jay Leno joked about it last week as well.

Ugh how can you drink that crap! It smells like turpentine and tastes about the same.
Disgusting stuff.
Its loaded with caffeine, which speeds up your heart rate and puts stress on your heart. 8 cans on a weekend surely isn't going to do you much good. Mix the vodka with Coke or Lemonade or Orange Juice instead.
Vodka and Tonic is nice.

YES. Mixed with alcohol, Red Bull is very dangerous. Many people die each year because of it. Alcohol is a depressant, so it slows down your system. Red Bull, on the other hand, is a stimulant. The alcohol will slow down your heart while the Red Bull speeds up your metabolism. This requires a higher-than-normal heartbeat, but alcohol slows it down, so you are not getting nearly enough to vital areas.

Haven't heard of it killing anyone, but read a newspaper article about a guy that got banned from driving after drinking 20 cans in the space of 24 hours. Apparently he was driving very erraticly and the policemen who stopped him thought he was drunk

I don't think it would be the Red Bull. I would worry about the Vodka.

Red Bull does not cause tumors, see the link below.
However, some people are allergic to the ingredients in it, and can go into anaphylactic shock from it, which can cause death.

The Red Bull (Reddus Bullus) Can only kill you if you are charged whilst holding a crimson flag.
