      Red Bull

      DO NOT DRINK RED BULL! IT IS MENTALLY ADDICTIVE AND IF DRINKEN REGULARLY ENOUGH, IT WILL SCREW UP YOUR BODY'S AMINO ACID BALANCE! ...BELIEVE ME, IVE BEEN ADDICTED TO THE STUFF FOR 2 YEARS OR SO NOW, AND I CANT NOT DRINK IT, OR ELSE I CANT STAY AWAKE FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS AT A TIME, THEN I NEED 8 HRS SLEEP! IT IS BAAAD AND I BET YOU ALL MONEY THAT IN AWHILE THE FDA WILL EITHER BAN PUTTING TAURINE IN DRINKS OR REQUIRE THEM TO PUT A WARNING LABEL ON IT AS OTHERS LIKE ME START SUEING FOR HAVING OUR BODY CHEMISTRY MESSED UP!

      I know what you mean. A friend of mine drank like a bunch of that stuff and went mental. He like went into sugar shock and then tried to eat the can he was drinking from.
      The best times of your life should not be when you're still so young, or else you'll live a life always dreaming of the past.

      Sheesh, making such a big deal outta this.
      You gotta drink a damn lot of it to get messed up.
      You might wanna stop drinking any sort of energy drink, cuz they all got bad stuff in it.

      And it doesnt make you hallucinate, unless you're a goddamn moron.

      Anything with too much of something is bad for you.

      (BTW: Red Bull is not "addictive" perse, You can just have withdrawls if you don't drink it in a steady fashon. Say I've never tried it before, and then I decided to drink five in one hour. That would screw you up.)

      (Another BTW: If you drink enough at one time, you can get a heart attack from it, same with bawls.)

      hehe:

      Is taurine made from bulls' testicles? Is taurine a derivative of bulls' testicles or semen?

      Taurine is a purely synthetic substance produced by pharmaceutical companies and is not derived from animals or animal materials.

      From (the lack of) what I understand, taurine is an amino acid produced mainly by cats. Too many Red Bulls at once can give you a heart attack, or kidney failure. Only three people have died, two of which mixed it with vodka. Taurine gives cats their natrual speed and agility. That is also why many cats in their old age die of kindey failure.

      The message? Don't be an drunken idiot and mix Red Bull with proof vodka. Or anything else with vodka for that matter.

      Taurine is named after Taurus, the bull. Ner.

      lmfao...
      Today I had a shot of pure cinnamin extract (without knowing what it was). Oh man, it made my mouth numb.

      So, back to energy drinks:

      I was going to do an experiment to see if red bull lowered your blood sugar enough to be a serious threat to a diabetic. The two places I checked were sold out of red bull, so I bought some Amp energy drink instead.

      Amp energy drink has guarana, ginseng, taurine, caffine, 30g's of sugar, and orange juice.

      Ginseng: There is a syndrome called ginseng abuse sydrome where your muscles can become so tense you can't urinate. Ginsing is supposed to be a mild stimulant.

      Guarana: Guarana is just cocoa with a whole lotta caffine. It may cause painful urination, restlessness, tremor, vomiting, irregular heartbeats, and abdominal spasms. It is used as a stimulant and appitite supprecent.

      The first observations of Amp: It tastes like shit. It also gave me a stomach ache. About twenty five minutes in I can feel the positive effects. Quite honestly, it works damn well as a energy drink. My heart rate is about 80 to 100 bpm.
