It's been out for more than awhile in these parts, but yeah, it is a nice
sugar free pick-me-up.

At last, a diet drink that is not so sweet as to be undrinkable.

A bit pricey at $1.50 per can, but it's a nice "pick me up" in the
morning since I don't drink coffee.

Red Bull has lots of caffeine. I drink coffee so no objection from
me. Folks who avoid caffeine could have issues with it.

What about the other ingredients? It has amino acids and such.

And B vitamins...

I can handle caffeine, I just don't do well with coffee.
Something in it just does not like me.

There is also a brand called Monster Energy which has a low carb version as
well. I like the Monster stuff better, and it is also cheaper. Their website
is http://www.monsterenergy.com. The low carb version says it has 3g of
sugars, so keep that in mind. The 3g doesn't bother me, but it might for
some people.

Perhaps, before becoming too enthused, you might consider doing a little
research and learning why some European governments have banned the sale and
importation of Red Bull. (... And I used to love the stuff 🙁 )

BlackShadow

Really?
Ok, guess I'll have to google it.
Other than containing Aspartame, I did not see anything negative in the
label?

It's too expensive to consume more than one can per day.....
I live primarily (beverage-wise) on water and unsweetened regular and
herbal iced tea. I like to make solar teas.

Cool! I'll look around for that, thanks!
I made a BIG mistake last night tho'.
I worked the night shift and made the mistake of drinking 2 cans of Red
Bull... I am also on Adderall (20 mg XR time release) and took it about
1 hour before going to work.

Don't mix amphetamines and caffiene... Bad idea! :-P

Red Bull does not say how much caffiene it has per can but I'm betting
it's at least 200 mg.???

Nope. It contains only 80mg of caffeine, clearly labelled on the can. It
isn't the caffeine that is the primary stimulant. It is the Taurine and the
Glucuronolactone.

BlackShadow

Ah, thanks!
I must not have looked at the right place on the can to get the caffiene
content. All I know is that I had about 3 hours of real discomfort with
a 130 heart rate. ;-) I drank a lot of water and just did not panic and
it did finally go away......

Don't mix Red Bull with Adderall. That was really stupid! :-P
Gods I hate night shifts!

I've tried several. I liked Monster LC except for that 3 grams of glucose.
:-) Good price at Trader Joe's though.

I thought Red Bull was OK. And I recently saw it being sold by the case at
Costco, but didn't check the price.

There's also a couple from SoBe; Diet No fear and SF Adrenaline Rush.
http://www.sobebev.com/about/press-release.asp?prid=125

But my favorite is Diet Rockstar. No sugar, and more B vitamins. Tastes
better than Monster to me.
http://www.rockstar69.com/new_html/diet.html

It is expensive in 8-ounce cans, but I usually find it in 16, as shown at
the site above, and recently found it in 24-ounce "Triple Strength" cans for
$1.19 each. The 8-oz was $1.59.

I don't recommend sipping this one while driving down the freeway. That big
can looks like you're chugging a Foster's to certain persons wearing
badges... :-)

Yes.

I buy sugar free Red Bull at the local grocery.
The 4 pack is cheapest as they charge $2.00 for single cans!

Which ones in particular?

For Rockstar, Trader Joe's has the NON-Diet version.

Then it's hit or miss. My local Thriftway (Seattle area) has 8-oz cans, and
the other market on the island has the 16-oz cans (also the SoBe products).
When I go across the water, there's another Thriftway where I found the
24-oz cans.

I don't like Red Bull, and have no idea what it costs at Costco, but
they have a coupon next week for ~$8 off a case.

What on earth possessed you to do that?

Stupidity? ;-)
Mental exhaustion due to the assinine morons assigning me split shifts?

For instance, I work/worked nights all this week (one more 12 hour
midnight shift to go tonight) then swings/evenings all next week, then
the same the following 2 weeks.

I HATE this!
