Have any research to back that up?

It's basically physiology. Unless I can find away to post my med book, I can't prove it to you, but I'll break it down for you.

1. Both caffeine and alcohol are diruetics, multiplying the dehydration caused when drinking alcohol. Not to mention that sugar slows down the absorbtion of water, also contributing to dehydration. Excessive drinking of the combined can lead to death.

2. Combing a strong stimulant (caffiene) with a heavy depressant (alcohol) can easily cause cardiopulmonary or cardiovascular failures, as it confuses the CNS.

3. Strong stimulants, as well as alcohol, decrease the body's ability to regulate temperature.

You don't have to believe me, I won't lose sleep over it.

'EXTREMELY' harmful?

Get real

What exactly is your position at this "hospital" of yours. While I did merely skim this thread, it is quite noticable when someone is talking out of there ass and/or quoting textbooks in an attempt to sound...intelligent. Remember that scene from Good Will Hunting?

I hate paying $1.99 a can for this stuff (8 oz can!!!) Where can you buy this stuff in bulk and get the best price per ounce? I looked at Costco but no luck

If you have a Sheetz near you (gas station chain in Northeastern USA), they carry a fountain drink called "Red Fuel". Its the exact same thing as red bull but a generic. You can get a 72oz massive death barrel of the stuff for 99 cents
