Any Red Bull fans in the Lounge?
Edited on Tue May-29-07 05:27 PM by Stevendsmith
I recently discovered Red Bull. I love the stuff. It wakes you up and keeps you awake without the caffeine jitters.

1. Yech. I hate that crap!
Some people, I understand, mix vodka and RB. Why, I have no idea - so they'll be alert and drunk at the same time?

3. I'm a Crystal Light w/ephedra kind of guy
Red Bull is pretty good, though. You're right about the lack of jitters (for most folks). It's a sugar/insulin shock/caffeine ease-off cocktail.

4. Red Bull non-veggie alert!!!
...I read an article in National Geo about a year ago all about Caffeine (my very very favourite drug, and I'm long past my college days!) and they mentioned the Austrian dude who invented Red Bull. One of the main ingredients is Taurine (hence the name: Red Bull) Taurine is a beef extract that felines, who are prime carnivores need to survive.

Me, as a vegetarian for 30 years, consequently has lips that have never touched Red Bull. Just a heads-up for other veggies. Cafe Latte does the job JUST FINE!

6. 2 make me sick. Mix it with jaegermeister (jaegerbomb) and it's a treat...
...that keeps you up 56 hours straight. Assuming it doesn't give you a heart attack, but that's the fun...
