Why is Red Bull illegal?!

Why is Red Bull illegal?

I just got back from a roadtrip through the north western United States. My boyfriend and I couldnt buy redbull in a few states. Someone told us it was killing people. Anyone know anything about this? Has Red Bull really killed people?

red bull has not killed people. there has been some nasty rumors like people passing out in clubs and have been blamed on red bull because that's what they were holding in their hand when they passed out (they may have not taken into consideration that they're at a rave and the kids are prolly doing E and not drinking water but drinking loads of red bull....go figure)

i have also heard stories about a kid playing football in the heat passing out because he drank a red bull. he might have been drinking water but obviously not enough. red bull is not a re-hydrator, nor do they promote it that way. red bull actually takes away water (not alot) from your system because the b-vitamins are water-soluble (meaning they need water to break down) add that to not enough water intake and strenuous activity in the heat; of course the results are going to be negative (and it probably would have ended that way even if he did not drink red bull)

and red bull is not illegal. some stores might 'ban' red bull because the store owned by them and they do not know all of the facts about it. but red bull is banned from certain countries (like france) because of the restrictions on the amount of vitamins in the drink.

soooo what i'm trying to get at here is that people hear stories and rumors (even about other energy drinks but still think of red bull) and just pass them on with a few more twists cause they merge all the stories together!! haha sorry if i was all over the place.....
