cause a sudden attack.
2. You run the risk of undergoing a cerebral hemorrhage, because RED BULL
contains components that dilute the blood so that the heart utilizes less
energy to pump the blood, and thus be able to deliver physical force with
less effort being exerted.
3. It is prohibited to mix RED BULL with alcohol, because the mixture turns
the drink into a " Deadly Bomb " that attacks the liver directly, causing
the affected area never to regenerate anymore.
4. One of the main components of RED BULL is the B12 vitamin, used in
medicine to recover patients who are in a coma; from here the hypertension
and the state of excitement which is experienced after taking it, as if you
were in a drunken state.
5. The regular consumption of RED BULL triggers off symptoms in the form of
a series of irreversible nervous and neuronal diseases.
CONCLUSION: It is a drink that should be prohibited in the entire world as
when it is mixed with alcohol it creates a TIME BOMB for the human body,
mainly between innocent adolescents and adults with little experience

Don't most people know about this?

Id like to see some proof of that!
I dont drink it, but these crazy warnings are incredibly stupid, and just show you how stupid most of the population really is.
For example - there is little toxicity to taking huge amounts of B12!
Send this back to whoever sent it to you with a note saying *Dont send me stupid shit anymore* and a picture of a carebear.

Don't most people know about this?
i'd never read that till today, but wouldnt drink red bull anyway
always thought there was something iffy about the stuff!!
I occassionally drink a can if i'm feeling a bit groggy before a match...On a night out I wouldn't think twice about horsing buckets of it down me with jageremeister, could drink it again the morning after! No real ill-effects though I can't imagine their being too many positives associated with drinking it!
In fairness there is some science behind not mixing it with alcohol at least as red bull is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant, taking them together can screw up your heart rate amongst other things apparently.

The stuff about glucuronolactone is also complete fantasy (http://www.efsa.europa.eu/EFSA/efsa_locale-1178620753812_1211902327742.htm). You'd be hard pressed to find a single accurate statement in that piece.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was created by a marketing opponent of red bull.
I've a mate from Ballinderry who drinks Brandy & Red Bull....................explains alot

THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!111111
yep, he just grasped the whole concept...
That piece might be more influential if it didnt read as tho written by a retard. Dont like the stuff anyway, can only drink it when its mixed with brandy ;)
A pub beside us was way ahead of the french - it banned it after the first sat night after it became available - the place was wrecked, it was all blamed on the red bull :D

A link or two wouldn't go amiss either.
Just got this one today myself. AFS and Erne are both correct. This is part true but also part Urban Myth. Mixing Red Bull with Alcohol is quite dangerous just ask someone who works in A&E somewhere.
