"Man killed ‘by 4 cans of Red Bull a day’

I don't touch energy drinks like Red Bull or Relentless. As far as I'm concerned, if evolution had meant me to consume that much sugar and caffeine I'd've been a hummingbird in a coffee plantation. Not to mention that evidence suggests it can give you heart trouble, amongst other things.

Perhaps they ought to change their tagline to: Red Bull gives you wings. And a harp.

I remeber working at the Opera House for the GQ man of the year awards a few years back. They had two managers on that night, one being myself, and the other being a gentleman in his late 40's. Red Bull or some other such company were doing a promo there. we were given a complimentary pallet of the stuff for our help. The other manager who had no concept of the drink knocked back about 7 in the course of the night stating "its a nice drink, but they don't give you much in a can!". Two days later we were working together again and he was haggered and could not keep awake. He told me he had not slept on his rest days and had so much energy all he could do was DIY.

Maybe it should say on the tin " Warning Redbull causes DIY"

If that doesn't put people off, I don't know what will.

There was plenty of hilarity over "Red Bull gives you wings" back in the day.

I know it's terreble.........just think you go out on a friday night, have your vodka redbull and insted of waking up with the mandatory traffic cone (compleate with flasshing light) you have a newly constructed nest of tables and find that you have acidently re-grouted the bath room.

So judging by the explanation of his death, he'd also have been killed by four cups of coffee?

Mind you, while usually I'm OK with Red Bull on the rare occasions I drink it, last week I had one can (of sugar free) and about two hours later was bouncing off the walls. Very odd.
