Red Bull intake...

[shaank]

So, red bull is never going to be great for your health taken in large or regular quantities, however I was wondering what the average ocuk'ers intake actually was?

I tend to have one in the morning if I've had a really late night before hand, or one on a night out if a long day which to me doesn't seem to bad. Though some friends have commented I have it too much.

I wouldn't have one a day. I would only have it if I had got no sleep and had to stay up. Eat more/better food if you need energy.

 

[Ahleckz]

I probably have one or two cans a year.

 

[TommyV]

I drink redbull or other branded equivalents probably 2/3 times a week, am partial to a relentless!

In the mornings, try having an apple to wake you up, I recently heard it's great for making you feel alive in the mornings and seems to be doing me justice.

agreed - I'm not talking about every day here lol! I'm just saying if really tired one morning due to a late night or such.


Forgot to mention I don't drink coffee, just don't like the taste so much.

I used to drink a lot of these energy drinks, but then realised I was piling on weight and feeling awful.

Now I generally have one for a big event when I need to bring my a game and be really focused

Zero.

Most work days I do drink coffee though, and I drink tea.

 

[bsoltan]

A Coke or Dr Pepper serves me better than an energy drink if I need a little pick me up.

I went through a period where I was picking up cans of Relentless though - but I put a stop to that when I realised it had 88% of RDA for sugar in it.

This.

 

[DB_SamX]

Once or twice a month at work when I've not had a lot of sleep the night before.

 

[valkynaz]

Zero.

I don't see the appeal in Red Bull (which is why I haven't tried it) which makes it cost £1.50 per can. Other energy drinks have just as much caffeine in them (if not more) and cost a lot less.

Dont drink anything with caffeine and especially would not touch red bull, I refuse to put a single penny into vettels wages.

 

[Freefaller]

I've only ever had it on occaision when I was at uni on a night out, I bloody hate it. As such I just don't drink it. Horrid stuff!

 

[Fenris]

Zero, it's disgusting.

 

[Cosimo]

I don't drink the stuff.

 

[dave_beast]

It tastes like liquid chemicals, and people have died after drinking it, due to the high caffeine deydrating you at a crazy rate, but the brain being tricked into thinking you're hydrated. That amount of caffeine shames an Espresso lol.

 

[Windle]

I'll occasionally have an energy drink if I'm working night shift, particularly if the site is far away. 2hr drive home after working on a railway is not fun!

 

[Duke]

Only have it when karting

 

[King Damager]

Mountain Dew > Red Bull

I could literally drink Mountain Dew by the litre. But that's because I like the taste.

I don't actually drink that much caffeine at all. Don't drink tea/coffee or any caffeine drinks particularly often.

I'd say a coke a month is probably about it.

I once drank 2 litre bottles of 'blue bolt' every day for 3 weeks.

My gums and kidneys were aching at the end of that and it took me about 4 days to 'come off' it.

Yikes.

Energy drinks are generally totally gross.
