    Yeah, really. Eating psychedelics like they're candy is really good for the mind.

    i eat my psychedelics quite responsibly, thank you.

    the biggest "hypocrite" thing i do is smoke weed everyday. everyone is a hypocrite if you look close enough...

    i just don't see the point in taking caffeine. i realize i'm in the minority with that one. but it's harmful to the body, and doesn't offer me anything that great.

    i would guarantee that pressed rat has done more damage to his body with daily redbulls than i have with eating psychedelics once a month or so...AND smoking weed daily.

    ...not to be judgmental ;)

    the mystery is why anyone would compound their retardedness by bragging about it.
    it may sound noble or romantic to admit of senselessness, but just maybe, not everyone really wants to hear about it.

    and red bull isnt even the best energy drink. I used to not like it, but i tried it again about a year r so after deciding i didnt like it, drank some, and its pretty good. But doesnt hold a candle to original green monster energy drink!!!

    however i must say that energy drinks are becoming less and less appealing to me as i get older....

    I think Red Bull tastes like carbonated apple juice, which is just wrong to me. Not a fan of it. I like my Jager straight or with gold flakes.

    I thought the effective level of caffeine in Red Bull is actually much higher than you'd think, like double to triple because of the other active ingredients interacting with the caffeine. The stuff is essentially no different than the original cocaine infused recipe of Coca-Cola for being a highly addictive stimulant drink that you can O.D. on, especially at the volume some people are consuming them.

    Not sure how/why people OD on Red Bull? Anyone know?

    Probably not more than overdose on coffee. It's nothing like cocaine, unless you're going to compare caffeine to cocaine. Things like guarana are only stimulants by virtue of their caffeine content. Taurine doesn't really do anything in terms of stimulation except perhaps make you anxious so I'm not sure why it's in Red Bull.

    And carbonated apple juice - best drink in the world ;)

    You can't OD on Red Bull as far as I know, unless maybe you're an idiot and drink an insane amount in a short period of time. I have heard of people being rushed to the emergency room from heart palpitations because of drinking too much, but it's usually young kids or people with some extreme sensitivity to caffeine. I don't even think Red Bull has much caffeine.

    Also, I don't drink it with alcohol. I only drink a can in the evening (or rather I did up until about two days ago), after I wake up to get ready for work.

    Anyway, I dropped Red Bull and now am drinking Guayaki Yerba Mate, which is better for you and less expensive.

    I can sort of see the carbonated apple juice comparison, because of its tart, sour quality, but I can't put my finger on the flavor exactly. It's way sweeter than apple juice, though.

    I don't understand how anyone can drink Red Bull. Or Rockstar. They taste like bitter chemical water.
