Red bull tastes like piss

[Crono]

I absolutely hate the taste of Red Bull. I know people mainly drink it for a quick energy boost, but aren't there cheaper and better tasting alternatives? And someone told me that Red Bull is unhealthy, and that you could possibly 'overdose' on it. Fact or fiction?

You can 'overdose' on anything.. Red Bull contains caffeine.. to overdose on caffeine, you need a ton of it, though. Also, it has B vitamins.. you can also overdose on those.

You could try Amp. It's a lot more mild tasting than Red Bull (I happen to love the flavor of Red Bull.) Coffee is also a good energy boost. Or, Mountain Dew - it has about as much caffeine as Red Bull (from what I hear).

It's not just the caffeine. Apparently, the taurine is of questionable safety.

I have aquired a taste for Red Bull (sugar free). I love it now, and it gives me a great boost!

red bull is a solid stimulant.. but it's a diuretic as well.. it can be dangerous to children (there are cases of children playing sports dieing.. i believe they have generally had some minor health issues, like asthma or something)

but just like anything else you will build a tolerance to it.. as long as you stay hydrated you should be fine.. (mainly if you are exerting yourself with sports, partying, etc.)

are these a serious RB replacement? is it in the States only?

i have found Red Rain here to essentially be Red Bull, but about a buck cheaper.. all the other RB substitutes I've tried suck.

to "overdose" is taking more than the recommended dosage. so yes, you can overdose on anything that has a recommended dosage.

Yeah, my piss taste like Hawaiian Punch Anyway, I just meant it tastes like what I imagine piss tastes like.. just like if some says something tastes like sh!t. Thanks for the info and recommended alternatives everyone. I think I'll just stick with my current 'energy drink': green tea
