Advantages: Sugar and caffine to keep you awake

Disadvantages: Bad comedown

Red bull is an energy drink, to write this review I've shotgunned 3 cans about half an hour ago and they're beginning to kick in, first the boring stuff [ I've already wrote this so I'll copy and paste it to keep the sugar rush going]

Red Bull Claims: 'Vitalises body and mind, stimulates metabolism, increases endurance and improves concentration.'

Contains: Taurine, caffeine, B vitamins.

Equivalent: to a strong cup of filter coffee.

I am a night shift worker so I'm quite used to red bull but it does affect you, firstly its got a sweet sweet taste, quite palatable but your not really drinking it for its flavour. The energy burst I've found usually takes about 30 minutes to make its way into your blood stream and arrives in a big lump [for me anyway]. Once it hits you're off and running sudden energy reserves arrive like the cavalry, then your mouth wakes up and starts babbling a load of rubbish, ideas come flooding to your mind and these can be a bit bizarre like, will the large Hadron collider prove the existance of god, why are black holes black, when they contain energy,light and everything else....

The come down after can be bad, like a withdrawal your body does not like caffine, if you drink vodka and red bull all night, your body views the caffine as more of a threat than the alcohol, so it processes the caffine first. This allows the alcohol to reside in your stomach longer, this does not affect your sobriety but can damage your liver and stomach as the alcohol rests there for longer.

Note - I've read this once the sugar and caffine are out of my system, and its a bit nutty, Be warned, drink red Bull and your punctuation goes all weird.

Summary: Treat like medicine and only use if you really need it
