Red bull tastes like carbonated cough syrup.

A couple of years ago at the Muir valley gathering, it was being given away free.
I drank three within five minutes while in a very dehydrated state. A half hour later I was ready to dance on a volcano.

While trying to stay awake at work after working far too much in my cubical I drank 6-8 Red Bulls and quite a few Advil in one night. Damaged my stomach and ended up throwing up blood. I had to go to the ER. Scary stuff. The doctor said to be very careful mixing stress, Red Bull, and vitamin I.

I always have had to mix vitamin I with a little food.

The Red Bull we have here in the states is much different than what is sold in Thailand. The Thai drink is not as carbonated and seems to be thicker. During a recent visit, I brought some back and compared them side by side and they are noticably different.

I asked some of the people I was visiting why they thought there was a difference and they felt it was because the US market likes their carbonated drinks. The original formula most likely would not be as popular as "watered down" version, as they refered to the US formula.

Why pay for and drink a bunch of Red Bulls? Cheaper to boil down a couple of pots of coffee or just take some caffeine pills.
