They have a lot of crap put into them and they can raise your heart beat in extreme ways. They don't do much harm if taken every once in a while but don't drink to many of those things.

Slamming one on an empty stomach may cause you to believe you could bring the world down with your mind.

From Wikipedia: "Water poisoning is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by over-consumption of water."

I heard that a can of Red Bull contains the caffeine of 5 coffees. So yeah, if you wanna get a heart attack - drink like 3-4 of those in a row.

The Cola-Red Bull hybrid drink they made has traces of the plant cocaine is made from, by my understanding. In order to get any sort of buzz off it you would have had to have drunk gallons.

Consuming anything in large quantities can be bad for you, so this is no exception. Red Bull isn't exactly the best drink in the world either, so.. Its probably bad for you.

Its bad for you period, energy drinks are the worse thing you can drink. The point being is A) there are better things to drink for nourishment MUCh better things, and B) Red Bull isn't neccesary to keep you awake ther eare far healthier alternatives.

Take it from someone who drinks his fair share of strong energy drinks..... I would cut that down to like, maybe 3 a day. Any energy drink is horrible for you and just loaded with sugar and caffeine. Pretty much liquid crack when drank in such excess.

Yes, if you drank many of them in a day. I have once experienced headaches and nervousness after I drank a lot in a certain day, and therefore I no longer ever drank it a lot anymore.

That's not true. An 8 oz. can of Red Bull contains 80 mg of caffeine, as much as one cup of coffee.

I really don't like them, I feel like I'm drinking candy syrup or something :?

I actually did an experiment on those types of energy drinks in my dental class, it can really damage your teeth. I'm sure there are other health effects, but I'm not very knowledgeable of them. Especially if you're drinking 15-20 :o
