Or it's equivalent. There is 80MG of caffeine in a can of red bull.

How long do you guys think a person could stay awake and alert if you were to drink a can every hour?

I'd be more worried about how long you could stay alive, to be honest.

Agree with Joe Soap. I've only ever done the voddy n red bull session once but remember my heart pounding when I eventually got to bed.

Dammit Joe, I was going to post that when I first saw this thread!
Now I'm on it and have nothing else to do but reply to your comment because I don't want to waste time.

D: My life is interesting.

you'd actually sleep.... your liver and pancreas would be so shot to pieces that type 2 diabetes would kick in rendering you into a coma and possibly death

I'd be terrified of the outcome. My fella loves his energy drinks but they never seem to have any effect on him. If he wants to go asleep he can easily.

I work night shifts and in the beginning before I got used to the disruptions I drank Red Bull to stay awake.

It feels terrible, like you're artificially awake, not fully alert either.

Someone I know drank 3 litre bottles of boost over 24 hours to stay awake, he ended up puking blood.

This is such a weird thread, it just keeps getting resurrected!

When I was on holidays when I was 22 I drank vodka and red bull the 2 weeks I was there. It didn't make me sick but I genuinly couldn't remember sleeping much. The 1 night I didn't go out and went to bed I slept for like 16 hours and woke up with my eyes stuck together with that gucky stuff you get when your really tired.

**Mars Bar** · 02-08-2012, 22:06

A girl I know who has a history of heart conditions in her family has at least a can every day. Muppet.

Quote:

The results of a study showed that the ingestion of one, 250mL can of sugar-free Red Bull, in a sample of 30 healthy young adults, had an immediate detrimental effect on both endothelial function, and normal blood coagulation. This temporarily raised the cardiovascular risk in these individuals to a level comparable to that of an individual with established coronary artery disease.

Yikes.

A few years ago myself and my brother (him bidding on a car interior on ebay and not reading the t&cs that it could only be collected in person....in Dartford in London!) got a ferry after work on a friday, met in Portlaoise, drove to Rosslare, didn't sleep on the boat, landed in Pembroke at 1am, he drove to Dartford, got there at about 10 past 7, loaded up and were gone by 8am, back to the ferry at half 2. In that time my brother had drank 7 cans of Red Bull and he was physically shaking on the ferry back. Couldn't sleep etc. I rarely touch the stuff since.

I can recall drinking 2 litres of Boost in one night without it harming me or causing any effects to my body, everyone has a different threshold maybe?

There is 80MG of caffeine in a can of red bull. How long do you guys think a person could stay awake and alert if you were to drink a can every hour?
