Please be honest folks.......Is Red Bull really all that?!


Question:

Please be honest folks.......Is Red Bull really all that?

I remember the first time I drank some (actually 2 right behind the other) and I got the blast THEN...but now it's been 6yrs since and I just can't get those "wings". Wha happin?


Answers:
I am a caffeine addict. And I AM being honest here...I almost never drink sodas, energy drinks or coffee/tea for the "wings". I simply like the taste of all of them, as I do with Red Bull. Some people say it tastes like medicine, but I just love the taste. It's $2.50 for a can where I live, which seems pretty expensive to me, so I don't buy it that often. I don't think anything is all that enough to be $2.50 for 8.3 oz, unless it was diamonds or something.

I have never actually taken the TIME to notice if I got "wings" or not afterwards...I drink caffeine almost everyday. So the logical thing is that my body got used to caffeine and doesn't feel as hyper as it did when I started drinking caffeine. The only time I ever felt it was after drinking 3 cups of coffee in a row. And I'd never try to have more than one Red Bull a day...it's dangerous, y'know.

I don't know, I've never had one.

Your body has adapted to higher levels of caffiene. You need even MORE of a jolt in order to get those "wings".

I never got the "wings". I can drink 3 or 4 cans and I dont feel a thing. I still like the taste though....

I don't like them. They taste funny.

I don't drink Red Bull often, but I certainly feel it when I do. Have you been drinking it regular for the entire 6 yrs?

I really appreciate the "wings" I get from Red Bull....but its too expensive.

Eating a healthy diet, and Not Drinking RedBull drinks or others like it as it's very bad for your heart* It gives such a sudden onset boost of energy..escalating your heart rate to dangerous levels.
Why do you need to feel like you have "wings"* ??

I know its a better pick me up in the morning than coffee

u have to earn them,more red bull please

I know exactly what you're saying. I used to drink it and I'd be flying-really awake, now it's nothing for me. I drink a lot more coffee these days and think I've built up one heck of a caffiene tolerance.

You've become used to it. You'll need to drink a lot more now to get your 'fix'.
Addictive stuff.

Or do you mean you had it 6years ago and have only just drank it again now? That could be a hormonal thing or if you now drink coffee you have a caffeine high from that and one red bull doesn't give you the 'fix' like the coffee.

I don't like it.

well
too much of anything is bad for you

yeah red bull gives you that jolt, but it is bad for your body. It increases your blood pressure in an unnatural way. Ur body probably adapted to all the caffeine, kinda like a drug, its bad for you, and you will need more and more to get the jolt.

no in fact i hate its taste\plus drinking red bull isnt that good,cause eventually u'll need more and more caffeine[red bull] each time as ur body doesnt get that much active when it used to be from smaller amounts

I wouldnt know; never had one
