Red Bull intake...

[BenjiSayers]

I read the thread title and thought this was about the nose of the F1 car.

 

[Gilly]

None, cos it's rank. Coke & coffee > * > red bull.

 

[markk]

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

About the same here, plus whatever I drink in Jager bombs

 

[Malevolence]

Never tried it, probably never will.

 

[freak2002]

I generally have 2 a year or so for the taste rather than a "pick me up".

If I ever go out I dont drink alcohol but a have a couple of red bulls instead. But then again I rarely go out!

 

[schumi84]

If I am on a proper night-out then I will have probably 6-7 cans with vodka, however if they are serving Monster then I will go for that. I don't drink it at any other time, Monster, on the other hand, I drink because I actually really like the taste.

A pub in Kingston that I frequent actually has Red Bull on-tap and you can drink it by the pint

DELETE DOUBLE POST!!

I'd drink a lot more if it weren't so expensive and so sugary/full of caffeine. But then what would be the point of the drink? Hm.

I did know a guy that basically behaved like the poster above. 6 to7 Redbulls+whatever during his weekend drink binges. A few months later he was in hospital with Liver problems. It's not entirely down to the Redbull of course, but it's certainly not good for you to drink so much of it.

Once drank a 2 litres of the stuff (well, a tesco equivalent 'kick' as it used to be called) during a WoW binge in the space of an hour about 7 years ago.

Head was spinning, had to lie down and eventually puked my guts up in the bog. Felt perfectly fine 20 minutes later.

Lesson learnt.

It depends on what i'm doing, most of the time i dont bother due to price, however if i'm on a driving detail or on long journeys going home etc i'll buy a few tins for the road, mainly for convenience, keep me alert etc.
or if i'm out of the **** towards the end of the night, i'll switch from beer/lager to something like RB+vodka or similar.

i've never really been one to eat/drink healthy, i'm a man of conveniece when it comes to that stuff, i am aware that its hardly the best thing for you to drink, but the nutritional value dosnt really concern me, the price however does.

saying that i know a guy who drinks it by the crate load, and he's a PTI funny enough.

 

[mediamatt]

and there was me thinking you were on about formula1 and the intake of the engine lol

 

[LiE]

I don't like sugary drinks, so none.

 

[sehcure]

oh god

 

[MikeHunt79]

Maybe a can or two if beep late, no more than one or two cans a week

 

[ShortWarning]

I have one once a day in the morning.

I don't think they give me much of a boost. I use it more as a placebo I think. I suppose it's a pretty unhealthy placebo.

 

[Fire_fly]

I will only drink the stuff if it's mixed with vodka.

 

[DcD]

If i'm on a night out and i'm flagging a bit, I'll have a redbull and vodka. Or if i'm driving a long journey I'll get a can of Rockstar Guava. That stuff is gorgeous. I probably only drink energy drinks once or twice a month though.

 

[Deleted member 11679]

I never consume caffeine.

Try to minimise my intake of aspartame as well, not that this ingredient is in Red Bull.

 

[Yas786]

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!

Same here, had a can years ago but didnt like it at all so have never touched the stuff again...same goes for all these silly energy drinks.

I'll stick to water..
