HORROR OF REDBULL DRINKS

 

What is Red Bull?

First sold in 1987 in Austria, Red Bull is a carbonated beverage containing caffeine, as well as other energy boosting compounds, including several B Vitamins and Tauine.

If you haven’t heard, Red Bull – the fizzy, energy drink – is the mixed of the moment among the fashionable, hard-partying crowd. A 250 ml serving contain 27g of sugar and almost as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. Consequently, drinkers who mix it with their booze want to party longer, reporting reduced sleepiness and increased sensation of pleasure.

However, a Brazillian study has found that alcohol and Red bull is a potentially dangerous combination.

 

According to research commissioned by the Federal University of Sao Paulo, mixing the two significantly reduces the perception of headaches, weakness and a dry mouth, meaning drinkers have less sense of being impaired by drunkenness.

Anne Jenkins from Alcohol Concern says the study highlights the danger of excess drinking in the relation to personal safety.

“Any drink that heightens a person’s perception of being in control, when they’re not, could increase the risk of harm”.
