Dangers of Vodka Red Bull

when i was a fresher 2 years ago i drunk a lot of this and had to stop because i got really arrogant, abusive and aggressive.
 
Red Bull is banned in some countries. Ask yourself why and then consider if drinking 10+ cans is a good idea.
 
There was a report out not so long ago about Red Bull and Vodka being the drink most likely to lead to a fight.
Mixing Depressants and Stimulants has never been a good idea, plus the fact that Red Bull warns off people with Diabetes
 
Whats wrong with drinking beer with vodka chasers? or just sticking to wine?

Nuts to all these cocktail spirits and groovy drinks.
 
OP: if you're still feeling drunk you might have a touch of alcohol poisoning, expect that horrible kind of still drunk hangover for a couple of days

never had a problem with vodka redbull myself, doesnt really have much of an affect on me, not different to vodka and anything else anyway
 
Red Bull doesn't keep me awake so to speak, instead it wakes me up. On a normal night out, whenever I drink RB+V i'll get home around 2.30am and get straight to sleep, but then wake up around 3 hours later. Must take time to kick in, its a right pain in the arse though because I can tell i'm tired but its at least another hour until I can get back to sleep.

The sale of Red Bull is prohibited in some countries, usually due to its taurine content or its alleged high level of caffeine. However, many countries which formerly banned Red Bull (and similar energy drinks) have revised their legislation to allow drinks containing taurine or higher amounts of caffeine, including Switzerland (1994) and Finland (2005). As of 2007, Red Bull remains prohibited as a soft drink in Norway, France, Uruguay, Denmark and Iceland, but is now allowed in Canada.

Red Bull is subject to numerous claims of adverse health effects, most of which are urban legends.[citation needed] In 2001, the drink was investigated by the Swedish National Food Administration after being linked to the deaths of three consumers, and was completely cleared.[citation needed] It has been subject to a number of other health concerns regarding glucuronolactone, a precursor of taurine. Glucuronolactone is a naturally occurring chemical compound produced by the metabolism of glucose in the human liver. It has received some notoriety due to urban legends that it was a Vietnam War-era drug manufactured by the American government.[citation needed] The rumor goes on to say that it was banned due to several brain tumor-related deaths.[citation needed] The rumor has since been proven false, as neither the cited British Medical Journal article nor the "banning of its consumption" ever occurred. Due to the link with taurine, only energy drinks without taurine are sold in France, but infant formula sold there (and worldwide) is commonly supplemented with taurine.[citation needed] Furthermore, no warnings appear on the Food and Drug Administration website regarding its potential to cause brain tumors or other maladies[1]

A common concern regarding the beverage is its supposedly high caffeine level. Proponents of the beverage counter critics by stating that a serving has roughly the same amount of caffeine as that found in a cup of coffee. [2]

In 2007, a study conducted by American researchers concluded that Red Bull, along with other popular energy drinks, could boost both blood pressure and heart rates, prompting them to warn those with heart disease to avoid the drinks due to the possibility it could reduce the effectiveness of their medications. The increases, however, did not cause dangerous levels in healthy people. The various measures of heart rate all rose between 5-10 percent during the 1 week trial. Key similarities between Red Bull and the other energy drinks named make the study relevant to the ongoing discussion of Red Bull. [3]

This is one of the reasons I rarely drink vodka red bulls anymore, they seriously mess you up.

For some reason i view the drinking of Buckfast as allright though, and that has like over double the caffience content per/100ml as red bull doesnt it?

red bull is very strange stuff. i did once survive an eitre night on vodka and redbull. it seems to cancel out the effects of alchohol somewhat, i was well in to double figures on the vodka+ redbulls,m and most of those were double shots themselfs. it's terrifying to think how much i really drank that night, and surprising just how coherent i still was. i didnt fall over once. which is good i guess lol.

You probably just think you were coherant. The problem with vodka red bull is you get all the bad effects of both, while believing you have neither. The stimulant only cancels out the feeling that you're less coordinated, when you're actually just as bad as you would normally be, so you keep drinking more thinking you're fine... probably you were stumbling all over the place without realising :p



(I think)
 
When I drink vodka and redbull I usually start feeling drunk for a little while...then suddenly I wake up the next morning trying to piece together bits and pieces of the previous night together.

Seems to take you into "brown-out" territory quite surprisingly.

I did lol at this, classic. I have a similar issue with Vodka and red bull, can drink loads of the stuff and get wasted, then in the morning i just feel drunk in the morning with no headache or anything like that.

Beer on the other hand i only need a couple of pints and i can feel it in the morning, especially if i dont drink any water before i go to bed.
 
Did you make this thread purely to boast about getting drunk and still being hungover?

Did you raise a discussion topic?

I went out last friday, had a bottle of wine to myself before leaving the house, then drinking cider for the next 6 hours, I'm so cool I should have made a thread detailing how I was hungover all weekend too... ;)
