There is nothing wrong with drinking ONE Red Bull, maybe even 2. Just make sure he doesn't drink more than 2 one after another. Your son will be fine, even with 1 a day.

red bull is only an energy drink...did you think it had alcohol in it?

your son will be hyper...that's about it...

He should be fine!!!!

Why was he acting wierd or something after he had it....if so it might be he was just a little hyper b/c it's an Energy Drink.

But at 11 i don't think he needs it.

yea...it's not like concentrate of caffiene, it is just a drink that happens to have extra caffiene for energy. I know ppl that drink 4 before school so yea it should be ok

Yeah... he will be fine. Its just an energy drink. I drink them every morning. The 8oz has 80mg of caffeine in it. Just a little more than a normal soda. Check out what amounts in the link :)

And yes it can be dangerous- when mixed with alcohol you can't mix uppers with downers that was what the fuss was about back in 2005. Also the other urban legends re: red bull can be checked through snopes.com

An eleven year old drinking red bull???? Do you have a death wish? I could NOT control an eleven year old boy on red bull! I drink it quite often. Especially at night when I'm out drinking as a mixer as a pick-me-up. I read that

80 mg of caffeine (more than three times the caffeine that’s in the same amount of Coke)
1000 mg of taurine, an amino acid

You should read the whole story. It's quite enlightening.
