Red Bull is too expensive, 99p for a 250ml can. Sod that! I can get two 1 litre bottles of Tesck Kick/diet Kick for £1 at the moment.

No, what does it taste like . I've never tried any of these drinks mainly as it never occurred to me that they might work in a positive way on my tiredness. The only product I' ve had was a Boost bar with Guarana <sp ? > which had no effect on me. |

I drink about 4-6 litres of diet Kick (Tescos version) a week and it seems to have no effect on me at all so i wondered how others fare? I don't drink any soft drinks so cannot comment on red bull etc. but I was very surprised at how stopping my intake of caffeine made me so completely different. I got over it a few days later and now had a much reduced tea/coffee intake though... |

Red Bull tastes like Shite and repeats on me like God knows what.
I absolutely hate the stuff.

Has anyone else had the thick syrupy red bull you get in Asia? That stuff definitely kept me awake and melted my teeth.

I have the very odd one with vodka, if I need a pick-me-up on a night out. It usually wakes me up a bit. I think its the "taurtine" (sp?) that is the main ingredient of concern.

I try to avoid it, only have it with vodka on a night out to give me a kick. But I often find one can of that will cause the rest of the alcohol to really go to my head which I don't like.
Drink too much coke really- probably a can a day, but trying to replace that with sparkling/flat water. |

It amazed me in Thailand to see the extent of the discarded bottles of it in the streets.... It really is like a cough mixture consistency, & does exactly what it says in the tin.Its obviously much more condensed. I did try looking at the ingredients last night when I posted but they are all written in Thai. Our version is a cheap immitation in all honesty. |

I drink at least five cans of diet coke every day, as a hangover from my years of working night shifts. I'd love to get off the stuff but have awful headaches every time I try. Plus I love the taste of it.

I only drink it with vodka and only then when I'm tipsy already. I wouldn't drink the stuff as a normal drink.
It doesn't have that much effect on me now, except it makes me want gallons of water at ridiculous times of the morning. |

i havent drunk red bull since about 4 years ago when a friend of mine who was 30 and was a slim fit non smoker, had a stroke and ended up in hospital for a month. it had been xmas and she had bought a 24 pack of red bull and consumed them with vodka over a week and a half at home.
when she was in hospital she was interviewed by people who were investigating the affects of red bull and there was a ward full of people all taking part who had strokes after drinking a lot of red bull. scary stuff and not worth the risk. its banned in a lot of countries |

I drink Red Bull regularly. I had Relentless for the first time a few days ago (at 8:30am) and was shaking for hours.
