I've been known to drink 3-4 cans a day. If I'm doing a really long ride, I'll bring along two cans frozen.
I just like how it tastes.

Thanks V - interesting stuff. It actually has less caffine in it that I was led to believe. Interesting about Taurine - that's where it gets its name Bull, from the Taurus/ Taurine.
Apparently Red Bull is illegal in France - something to do with the combination of caffine & taurine which can have adverse effects on some people, ...but probably only if you drank 100's of cans of it.

If you don't drink the frozen cans you can use them as weapons against stupid motorists.

A guy I know was getting hassel from a motorist who was yelling and driving aggressively. The traffic was moving really slowly and someone yelled that my friend should be on the cycle path.
( For cycle path read - narrow strip sectioned off from the main footpath by a white stripe and pretty useless)
My mate yelled that doing 20mph on a narrow footpath would be pretty dumb and motorist yelled back something. So, my mate emptied a whole bottle of energy drink in through the open sunroof! I bet the guy had a sticky steering wheel for months!!
Ah - the sticking power of energy drink....

Well Miss Mighty M- If you did that here in the States you might get shot at!
Veronica- I hate to think what it would be like to go up Diablo with you sans rocks drinking that Red Bull stuff!

That's harsh. I feel citizens should be free to pour energy drink over other citizens without the risk of being shot at. Originally Posted by Bike Goddess

Ok - wasn't the most intelligent thing he's ever done. Better not give him the idea of throwing frozen cans of Red Bull - things could get nasty!
Veronica - I've got a great image of you in my head storming up mountains with a huge backpack stuffed full of rocks and frozen Red Bull.
