Can 16 cans of Red Bull in the space of 2 hours kill you?!


Question: 16 cans for £10, Tesco.


Answers: 16 cans for £10, Tesco.

One can of Red Bull contains approximately the same amount of caffeine as three cups of coffee.

It depends on the size of the cup and the type of coffee, and also which size can of Red Bull, but let's for the sake of argument take that figure as true.

The lethal dose of caffeine is between 80 and a 100 cups in about five minutes, so you would have to drink about thirty cans in five minutes to stand a chance of killing yourself.

If these figures are not accurate enough for you, then you can estimate your lethal dose from the equation:-

Lethal dose = 170mg of Caffeine per Kg of body weight.

There must be easier ways!!

yeah, caffine overdose.

I would say it might make your pee a strange colour.

I would imagine that amount of caffeine in 2 hours could lead to a heart attack at the very least

If you've just drunk 16 cans, call a doctor, because the concentrated dose of caffeine could spped your heart rate way up leading to overoxygenisation to your brain!

Yes. you be flapping around like a freshely caught cod for a out 3 days.. then dead.

No way £10 for 16?! I hate the stuff.

No, WHY ASK?
However I think at the very least it would make you a bouncing off the walls insomniac!

I would say that odds are it could easily kill you. That is some potent stuff.

1 more can maybe 16 no 17 yes

if they all fell from a great height onto your head they would surely kill !.

Its not a good idea.

It all depends on if you drink it alot and your body fat content

but I would say maybe

Depends on how hard the person throws them at you and what part of your body they hit!!!.

Reckon you'll get fat with bad teeth in the long term. You might run out in front of a number 77 bus in the mean time, out of excitement.

Yeap ! You'll take off so fast, you'll be hitting the ceilling very painfully.
And you wont be able to control your flight either.
Jet fuel is better.

you can do better,
tomorrow try with 16 can of camomille......

idk but if does it was a cafiene overdose

quite likely, but you,re more likely gonna be a bloody nuisance to everybody, jabbering like a loon and restless. Now I think about it, if You do get through that lot, give me a call as I,ve got some furniture I need moving

try it!

Are you 13?? No it wont. You will have one hell of a headache, stomach ache, and pee a lot. Your acting like a git, you are. Be thankful, you saved 3 dollars or around 6 pounds. They, Red Bull, are about$ 2.30 to $2.50 a can in te US. Buy a pack of smokes with it! LOL

I know my boyfriend had 4 in an hour on Monday and he said he started getting twinges in his heart and was a bit shakey! So I wouldn't advise it ..lol.. xx
