There was a case in Australia earlier this year, where a fit young man had a heart attack, which was attributed to consuming too much Red Bull. Maybe he might have had some sort of physical problem to start with, but drinking Red Bull would not have helped things. Read the attatched link for more info.

I have high blood pressure, and this stuff is the last thing I would drink.
too much of anything is bad...
MAN! that stuff is heaps bad for you!, stop drinkin it!
Yeah that's way too much...do u sleep ever??
You know that too much sugar and caffeine is going to be bad for you, well red-bull is loaded with both.
Well, I guess too much of anything isn't good... except love :)
it can and will give you migranes and in the long run it can really mess with your system, your friend is right
Yes it's bad. Too much can actually kill you. A friend of mine drank 7 Monster energy drinks at a football game (Who knows why!) and he had to be taken to the hospital. If it doesn't kill you then your body will become depended on it and without it you will be a mess. Not only will you feel horribly run down but you will get head aches.
you have been like addicted to it dear...just like coffee and alcohol. its an energy drink not a fruit juice. you might have hypervitaminosis from the vits & minerals in that drink. your body specially your liver and kidney maybe intoxicated sooner or later if you use that as you water. 1 botlle/day is enough to supply your B vits for the day...
An article about the effects of Red Bull for one consumer who had on average 4 red bulls a day. During this episode he had consumed 8 Red Bulls in 5 hours: Here is an excerpt from that article:


A MAN whose heart stopped after he consumed eight Red Bull energy drinks in five hours has called for an overhaul of the product's warning labels.

Matthew Penbross, 28, collapsed after downing the popular drinks, each containing 80 milligrams of caffeine, last Sunday.

He drank the Red Bull while competing in a motocross event on the state's Mid North Coast...

Department spokesman Dr Robert Batey said consuming high levels of stimulants had the potential to cause heart attacks.

"It will raise blood pressure and pulse rate and both of those things put a significant demand on the heart."
There are no cons of drinking 10 or so Redbulls a day. I can't believe anyone could drink that many. That's seriously bad for your health! Be careful when you stop drinking them because I get the jitters after just one has worn off.
Doubtless 10-12 a day it too much, you should reduce drinking this energy drink. Think about it and consider that the fizzy drink has been linked to several deaths. Besides, that energized feeling is temporary, and it's not a substitute for usable energy in the form of carbohydrates. You know that high intakes of caffeine are unhealthy because they increase blood pressure and dehydration.
they say you shouldn'tconsume any more than six cans per day
