hi, umm yea i'm having problems with this addiction to redbull and although my addiction isn't out of control, i'm already starting to have problemsw with it. i don't know wheter it's the caffeine or the whole combination of chemicals that's making this happen. so since i have a hard time concentrating in any activities at school (although i work well at home) i drink red bull. i can't buy amphetamines without a prescription so i resort to redbull which i drink constantly and although at first it improved my concentration for the full school day, 1 can of redbull now isn't enough and when i drink it in the morning it will only have an effect until lunch time. when i cannot concentrate and find myself in a state of extrreme boredom i'm not like a zombie but i basically decide to switch off from everything around me and don't do anything at all, but when it comes to doing fun stuff i magically don't feel discooncentrated or tired anymore. today i was having some stomach pains and i started sweating and when i came back from school i noticed my eyes were dilated ( i had drunk about 2 redbulls) . and i had about a 2 day break this week from redbull and i was sweating and having head aches and was terribly exhausted. if i stop i get withdrawals. i'm not gonna put this in the category of a druug but i think moderate users should not consume it so regularly that they become like addicts, because despite m,y problems concentrating i had managed without it before i started

Drink coffee instead. It's cheaper, has just as much caffeine, and is better for you.

I've read that taurine (found in large quantities in energy drinks) can lead to ulcers, which would suck.

Nope, honestly I dont usually need an energy burst and if I do I grab a frappucino or something. However, I might need some help with alcohol that stuff is pretty addicting when your partying a lot.

Redbull won't give anyone euphoria, unless they have hypersensitivity to caffeine (which is what you're addicted to)

yes, drink coffee. At least it is natural, and it tastes great. Just get yourself a big can of grounds and one of those small coffee makers and you can get your energy fix in a couple minutes. Hot outside? brew some ahead of time and make iced coffees with old/leftover coffee.

I don't see why it matters, caffiene is the addictive ingredient.

I used to dring 6 cups of coffee a day until I started having panic attacks. Now I'm down to 1 cup a day.

I like Red Bull but I like Monster coffee far more.

Yeah I got hooked on it. Problem is, your tolerance will keep building so you'll end up drinking more and more. Aside from the tremendous cost, it will REALLY mess up your stomach. Try drinking coffee, that's how I quit energy drinks.

Spike. It's illegal to sell to anyone under 18. There's even a disclaimer saying you should not drink more than one a day.

Try and weed it off, maybe with some coffee. It's not good to drink those every day.

i'm a moderate red bull drinker. i drink the sugar free ones. dissonantblack

those taste like more crap. some people say red bull taste like crap. one day i went to the store to get red bull and they were all out so i bought sugar free i hated the taste of it.

i'm a drinker of it. i think u should lay off of it. i one time drank it before i had to swim for 15min straight and i throu up after i swam. i yhink ur problems r that u don't drink it with food. i had those feelings because i don't.

I drank just under 2 litres of Rockstar in half an hour. I'm a skinny guy and no power drinker. The high was good, but not at all worth it. I couldn't even sit up for the rest of the day.
