Answers:
If you drink enough vodka n red bulls you can die of alcohol poisoning, but not from mixing the two together!. Some people have a very low tolerance for caffeine and drinking red bull can cause them anxiety attacks but otherwise it's all scare story talk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There is some stories linked to red bull and other stimulant drink causing death!. There hasn't been any conclusive proof that the drink caused death though!.
The fact is though that red bull is a stimulant and will raise heart rate and blood pressure!. Anyone that has a problem with the heart should avoid these drinks!. The limits of consumption would vary between individuals though!. I know that when Red Bull was first released I had 4 cans in a row and played game of football (soccer) although I felt really weird I am still here today, my pulse was racing though!.
I do know several people in my class at uni prefer to drink red bull + vodka!. It wouldn't be unusual for them to have 5 or six cans (usually 1 can per double vodka) and dance all night!.
Buckfast is another popular drink especially among students in Northern Ireland!. It contains more caffine than Red Bull and most would drink at least one large bottle prior to going out!. That's about 750ml or the equivalent volume of 3 red bull cans!. It's about 37!.5mg of caffine/100ml compared to RB 32mg/100ml in!.
I have seen people with elevated heart rates (100bpm + while resting) and blood pressure (140/90 resting compare to a norm of 80bpm and BP 100/70)!. Although anecdotal this was measured using a manual spygmanometer (blood pressure cuff) and stethoscope!. This was after drinking about 4 cans of Redbull and similar results for a bottle of Buckfast!. It amazing what bored nursing students will do!.
This for any prolonged length of time will be bad for you!. If you have any underlying problems it could lead to increase risk of heart failure!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

red bull is packed full of caffeine - caffeine is a stimulant so it will make your heart beat faster, some people suffer panic attacks and feel very unwell if they drink too much caffeine, including sweating, palpitations, anxiety, there are reporting's of people dying after drinking too much red bull or equivalent type drinks and i believe there was a link to blood clots and strokes
alcohol is a depressant and is poisonous if taken in great quantity so technically yes you could die from mixing the two but the main risk will be from the alcoholWww@FoodAQ@Com
