If there was anything even remotely harmful about Red Bull, it wouldn't be on the market. And they have an awful lot of data to draw from, because people regularly abuse it for the sole active ingredient it contains: caffeine. Coffee contains significantly more caffeine than Red Bull, so start grilling the Columbian coffee guy and his donkey first if you're worried about health effects.
Alcohol is a hundred times more dangerous for your system, and considering the even longer history of data that drug carries, I wouldn't be too worried about getting hopped up on a glorifed can of joe.

Hey, Vivid chiming in... The truth about Red Bull is bull. I already told you, the best mix with grain is Dr. Pepper....believe me, we tried Coke, Sprite, various juices, you name it...

I can't understand banning it unless they refused to change the label or something. I mean alcohol can kill you, for fucks sakes tylenol can kill you.

The one where millions and millions of dollars go into mandatory testing of consumables before they ever hit shelves, not the fantasy world where evil Orwellian corporations sneak secret bad stuff into our food supply for kicks. I know, it's boring to know that the system really works, and thrilling to imagine a drama where it doesn't.
Caffeine is the only thing in Red Bull that acts on a chemical level.

Why is Red Bull getting so much slack? I prefer Monster or Lost Energy anyways. I've drank six Red Bulls in less than three hours. Another time I drank two Monsters and four Red Bulls in three hours. To the best of my recollection I don't recall having a heart attack and neither time did I die. At least I hope I didn't.
Amino acids and vitamins are not active drugs. The only thing in Red Bull that does jack shit is caffeine, and to believe anything else is simply superstition or marketing, with no factual basis in science.

So it's been banned in other countries and there is controversy over it in so many others because it's as harmless as coffee?

ecstasy is indeed a drug, but a stimulant. weed is a depressant. and a mild hallucinogen. drugs don't just bring you 'up'. you heard of halcyon? paxil? roofies? k? yer.
