Red Bull and other Energy drinks.?
My dad has told me that drinking too many Red Bulls can harm you.He heard that they give you hallucinations, and cause strokes and tumors.I drink 5 Red Bulls a week since August last year,because when I wake up I'm always tired no matter what time I go to sleep and even after a shower.They wake me up a lil bit.In that whole time I've never had hallucinations.I'm 14 years old.Does Red Bull harm you at all and is it just energy drinks in general that harm you? Also am I too young to drink energy drinks? Adults have told me that but I just ignored them.Thanks them.Thanks
Answers:
You may hallucinate before you go comatose from kidney and liver shut down. These drinks are the fastest way to liver and kidney destruction since alcohol. The B - vitamin content is so high that constant consumption of the liquefied vitamins can erode your esophagus, stomach, colon, intestines, liver and kidney's....if that won't make you hallucinate, I don't know what will.
P.S. Don't sweat the Caffeine...that's the least of the bad ingredients.

Seen it...........Almost lost my 18 year old son because of drinking red bull and alike drinks.
They arent healthy, I wont argue that. BUT, I used to drink 3 a day, I dont anymore but I used to for a long time. Never hallucinated but if I didnt drink one for a morning, by afternoon, I was passing out, I was dependant on them to even be remotely awake. Just get some coffee.
uh...5 a week is too much...energy drinks will make you hyper for a while but not all the time. after it wears off you get SUPER tired. try hyphy...it tastes better.
Red bull contains caffeine which isn't recoommened for your age. It also contains other ingredients that can be fatal in large doses. If your always tired...eat more iron
They can't kill you in a day but they can mess with you because caffenie in general being hopped up on it all day isn't good. It messes with your blood pressure and your heart rate which can lead to health problems
Yes, energy drinks can be harmful; usually because they contain large amounts of caffeine. However, I doubt that five a week would be enough to be harmful.
If you're worried, though, you should ask your dad to take you to a doctor so you can get your general health checked out. Some people have pre-existing conditions that can make caffeine extremely dangerous for them.
i think theyre only bad if you have like 5 of them in a row... but still, 5 a week is a bit much for you..especially if you say they only wake you up a little. there are a lot of other, healthier things that could do the same thing, like tea. being addicted to caffeine at 14 years old is kind of silly- leave that to the adults and maybe just get some more sleep!
I think you are old enough but like any thing you should do it in moderation also try a different energy drink like Xs there very good, check online for a dealer around you but they are $$$$$ a lot but there the best!
Adults tend to say things like that while your growing up and turning into an adult I'm 14 and Lot's of people say I'm gong to stop growing because I drink Coffey sometimes but I haven't:)

What is harmful about Red Bull and most other energy drinks is that they contain very high amounts of sugar and caffeine. It is my opinion that to drink that many a week is bad for you.
Obviously your dad is concerned about your health. You should be too! You and your dad may want to consider an alternative. I drink an energy that does not contain all of the sugar and caffeine makes me feel really good, and lasts for several hours.
