Red Bull used to be my favorite drink, as I would not go 24 hours without drinking an entire can. That era has ended simply because I was beginning to get sick of paying over $2.00 for one can. I know several distributors who offer the product for $1.50, but I seldomly stock up on the stuff and end up paying the $2.00 for a can plus 8% tax, which comes out to $2.15 a can. Which is fine with me until you realize that you are spending over 700 dollars a year at this rate. It never stopped me before and I always felt that it was worth it, considering the drink helps me focus in college each morning. However, I recently noticed that on days when I was not in school and I drank a Red Bull, rather than being full of energy and ready to jog, I would become tired. I began to wonder why I would get tired after drinking a can of Red Bull. Maybe my inner body was saying, "stop drinking this **** every freaking day of your life!" Whatever the case is, I decided to stop buying it on a daily basis and just drink it when I have to wake up very early. Hopefully this can make it become effective on my body again, because I think I may have overdone it, considering I have probably consumed well over 1000 cans in my life.

I personally enjoy drinking a cold can of Red Bull. Set aside the energy factor. While many people (actually everyone I know) says it is sick and makes them gag, I kinda like that cough droppy taste that is offered in a can of Red Bull. I find Red Bull to be a conversation starter for myself - kinda like smoker talk. I love to sip from my can of Red Bull and discuss the weather or some other exciting news with my peers. While I have tried so many other energy drinks, I can say that I do hate all of them. There has never been an energy drink that I enjoyed other than Red Bull. I guess I just like the Austrian people so much (and the fact that a can of Red Bull is vegan!) On the other hand, it is full of man-made chemicals that might do some weird things to me in the future - only time will tell!

The cheapest place I found Red Bull is at Costco $31.99 for 24 cans. It's kind of yucky tasting- like cough medicine, but it does keep up energy. Don't try to chug it. I did, and I felt like i was going to hurl. Not an instant buzz, but I don't feel fatigue at the end of my workouts.

I started drinking a can of Red Bull Energy Drink every morning when I was working outdoors doing strenuous physical labor. I found that at the end of the day, I was no longer exhausted, but felt fit, active, and invigorated. I was amazed at the effectiveness of the energy drink! After drinking a can, I didn't feel any different (it wasn't an instant buzz) - it didn't affect the way I felt at all - though I found that I just had more energy at the end of the day - and I didn't get tired at all during the day like I normally would.

The raspberry flavor of the drink is pleasant - a bit on the sweet side. I highly recommend this product to anyone doing physical labor, or anyone who needs a mild pick-me-up to increase productivity during the day.

One small word of warning - Beware - this stuff is toxic mixed with alcohol. You'll have one heck of a hangover the next day. As alcohol is a Downer, and Red Bull is an Upper, the effects of alcohol (at the time of drinking) appear to neutralise. You don't realise how drunk you actually are (until the next day when someone pulls out the video tape and shows a movie of you dancing naked on the tabletop at your grandmas birthday celebration...youch!)

Every single morning I drink one can of Red Bull!! I suffer from chronic fatigue and Red Bull is no miracle drink but it does give me the boost that I need. No other energy drink has come close to giving me a boost but Red Bull. I have tried Sobe and Monster which are okay drinks but they do not give me energy in the least! I love the taste of Red Bull, the taste is addicting and many people that I have talked to also agree! The price is steep but I wouldn't go without it. The cheapest price that I have found it is at Walmart for $6.99 for 4. At most gas stations red bull is $7.99 for 4 and averages to $2.00 a can not including tax. If you drink a lot like I do the money adds up quickly!! I pay on average about $48.00 a month on Red Bull not including tax, but If I did not go to walmart I would pay about $10 more a month. Red Bull has helped me so much and I am happy to find a energy drink that tastes very good and that works very well!!

I started drinking the Bull in earnest in Ramadi. I was on the Quick Reaction Force and would get a startled awakening at 0'dark-thirty and have to drive a HMMV at 65+mph in the dark with night vision glasses. Slurping a Red Bull on the way to the gate seemed to help me wake up and get a grip on the mission. It also made me wanna pee :D
