u cant o.d. on red bull. unless its got eager in it. but plain that like saying u can get drunk from amw.

First, the term "overdose" just means you took too much of whatever it is. Overdosing doesn't necessarily mean you die. That would be called a "lethal dose". And I don't think you can die from too much caffeine.

I had a bad time one day when I drank two really big, really strong cups of coffee one evening. It was weird. I couldn't go to sleep. But beyond that, I had paranoia, because my heart was pumping really fast, but I was just lying still. I don't think you can die, but you might end up having a bad time.

Who knows??My educated guess would have to be-NO.If it could kill you wouldn't it be regulated??Besides who could possibly afford enough of them to O.D.??

red bull is not a alchohol how can you think dat? maybe you can jus get really hyper and then get super tiered. but i dont think you can overdose doe

If you were just strictly drinking Red Bull and not eating, it does have the potential to do harm. You would have to drink "a lot" of it, which would keep you from sleeping. Doing this cause excess stress on your heart and brain. The stress is amplified by adding alcohol. This is why it is dangerous for young people who become "Red Bull Junkies."

yes. my sister likes that and if u drink too much you can go to hospital with heart problems.

not sure on red bull, but i have heard of the warnings on Monster and Rockstar energy drinks that reccomend that only half of the can is ingested at a sitting. Sounds dangerous....i've only had a sip of Rockstar in life....not red Bull or Monster

You could be intoxicated on just about any beverage including plain water - too much of anything could overwhelm your body and could be fatal.

Case in point, a woman in Sacramento died due to drinking too much bottled water in a radio station contest for a Wii - see story link:

If one could overdose on water, so can one overdose on Red Bull.
