Here are some of the most important facts about caffeine and its relationship to headache.
General
Most people feel the effects of caffeine within 30 minutes.
Generally, the effects of caffeine last 3 to 5 hours.
The average American consumes about 200-300 mg of caffeine daily, or the equivalent of about 2-3 cups of coffee.
People who get headaches should clearly understand how caffeine affects their headaches.
Caffeine in headache medications
Adding 130 mg of caffeine to a regular, two-tablet dose of common ingredients found pain relievers (aspirin and acetaminophen) makes them relieve headache pain about 40% better than they do without caffeine. Caffeine also helps your body absorb these medications, allowing you to get back to your daily life faster.
Because analgesics work better when they have caffeine added, you may be able to take less medicine when you have a headache. And because even non-prescription medications are real medicine with the potential for side effects, taking less reduces the risks associated with inappropriate use.

Because sex can sometimes be a cure, and sometimes be a cause for a headache, it's largely up to headache sufferers to decide what works for them. Preventing headaches in the first place can go a long way. Evans suggests tracking migraine triggers, getting regular sleep and exercising regularly, even if it's only walking a mile a day.

RedBull is not at all healthy for you.
If it cures your headaches, then your headaches are caused by caffeine withdrawal and you are feeding the vicious cycle even more.

Now I'm not positive that this applies to Red Bull, my doctor told me that energy drinks were generally very bad for your liver and teeth; if not drank wisely, they could be harmful. I think if you just drink in moderation and try not to rely on them to cure your caffeine headaches, you should be fine.
