Can Red Bull kill you?

I heard that if you drink a can and then jump up and down really fast you can hurt your heart. Also, can u really choke from eating pop-rocks and drinking pepsi all at once?

Yes, it sure can. never try it. Your state of health has a lot to do with it.

no

Well techinally yes but not if you drink it every now and then.

Yes. Yes.

no

Doing anything stupid can kill you or hurt you really bad.

ya any energy drink can if u drink to much of it =/

High caffeine content in one shot can be damaging to heart vessels, so yes, you can die from cardiac arrest - especially if your body isn't accustomed to caffeine.

Pop rocks and soda are both bad because of the refined sugar content.

I suppose if you had enough on hand you could drown in it!

Uhmm...no I don't think so...

Urban Legands, Not true.

Tho i suppose if you drank a huge amount of redbull the caffine could become toxic.

well not that way
but yes red bull has excessively high caffine content... aacting like slow poison by itself

yes and mento and dt. coke are volitile

MYTHBUSTERS have busted them! NOT TRUE

I used to drink red bull al the time. I would have 5 a day. Its far from good for you but I was just fine. I stopped bc Id crash, while coming off coffee is more gradual. Anyway, if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, ect ect, than its defiently a very bad idea to drink it bc it does make your heart race. Its garbage, anyway.

anything is possable. But the beer thing, I'v never heard of. I don't think it's true, but I wouldn't try it. =D

Sorta and no.

Well since RB is a boost drink it increases the heart beat, now it can be dangerous when mixing with spirits because you'll drink more since you won't feel the effects of alcohol very soon.
About the Pepsi fact I think it's an urban legend

no, Red Bull gives you wings, not a heart attack.
Pop Rocks and Pepsi are not deadly; you can't choke on them, at the very most, they make you belch like will ferrel in the movie Elf.

Red bulls can kill you.

It COULD kill you, but you'd have to drink loads. You have to consume 150-200mg/kg of body mass of caffeine to kill you, which you'd have to drink 80-100 cups of coffee after each other to get. However, some people have overdosed on as little as 2g of caffeine. If you're normally healthy drinking one can isn't going to do anything to harm you, just don't go nuts.

Do you really think they'd let it be sold if all you had to do to kill yourself would be to jump up and down after drinking one can?

why take the risk? i mean if energy drinks are banned in competitions, why should it be so accessible for the public?

I guess Red Bull is worse than Mountain Dew. It has more caffeine in it then Mountain Dew. Why would you do all that in the first place?

If you already have health problems yes!

I could if you have a heart problem or Kidney problem. It races your heart to fast.

Probably not, however any excessive or binge drinking of any liquid including bottled water could lead to intoxication and eventually death.

A 28-year-old woman died from "water intoxication" resulting from a radio station bottled water drinking contest in Sacramento, California 1/13/2007 - see the full article on http://abcnews.go.com/us/wirestory?id=27...

If you drink it and jump up and down NEAR A CLIFF you will die...but No if wont kill you unless you've had more than 5 then it will stop your heart.

I don't know if it can or not. All I know is that it has a lot of sugar. A better energy drink can be found at boosturenergy.net. Their energy drink is called Liftoff. This drink has no sugar, no calories and one gram of carbs. For it not to have any sugar, it doesn't taste that bad.

onlyif you drink about 4 or more cans at once and fall down from a ladder after drinking one to many.
and no you can not choke on pop rocks and pepsi at the same time. what about pop rocks and coke or do you not like coke?
