    It's far too overprced and on the off chance that I do order it, I want Red Bull! Not Shark or that Energise shíte.

    I sometimes substitute the redbull for wkd blue when doing a jagerbomb not much difference in the price and at least it has a bit of alcohol in it. Know a few girls that drink double vodka and west coast cooler for the same reason

    Double vodka and red bull........ the fuel of the Celtic tiger.
    I won't weep to see it go.

    Double vodka and Red Bull cost 11 euro in the pub last night. Unfortunately, If I drank red bull Id end up in the hospital so I'm afraid it's usually vodka and diet coke for me fein

    One of the nice parts of drinking is the ease at which I can get asleep afterwards.

    drinking Redbull with it seems like a waste..and it tastes like perfume.

    agreed plus sometimes you don't actually get red bull just some cheap ass imitation but still some charge the same.

    implying redbull is any different from cheap ass energy drinks and the price isn't purely to pay for the massive advertising

    I haven't even been able to look at Red Bull since a horrible vomiting incident following a few Jager Bombs at a work party a couple of years ago. Ew. The smell of it alone turns my stomach.

    Red bull is far nicer than the likes of shark etc hate when I'm handed stuff other than red bull when I order a double vodka and red bull.

    Only ask for it if there's a double vodka redbull deal for a tenner, or if i know the barman.

    On a student night in Manchester (where I go to uni) the standard price for a double vodka redbull is £2.50. A lot cheaper than some of the concoctions some posters have quoted. I've been in some horrible states from a night out on those. It tastes shite. I tend to stick to vodka and coke or something if I'm on the spirits on a night out - at least it tastes alright then :cool:

    A little off topic, but does anyone else find that when in rounds people drinking - for example - a vodka and lime, ask for a vodka and red bull when someone else is paying.

    This really pees me off - it's two fugging drinks. Greedy bastards


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,404 ✭✭✭mr.jingle


    My boss drinks double vodka/red bull all the time in the local its €11.50 a pop! Ridiculous carry on. He also has a knack for a thing called a 'Buffalo Bomb' basically a Jaegerbomb with a shot of vodka on top! Needless to say i don't get into rounds with him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,920 ✭✭✭pudzey101


    Why cant Irelands pubs be like say Spain/Portugals ones? all drinks 2 euro!! what more could you want haha

    Club K in Galway has double Vodkas and Red Bull for 5.50. Great value considering it's average cost elsewhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,333 ✭✭✭✭itsallaboutheL


    Few places in Galway are doing double watered down paint stripper and some yellow sugary crap for ~5.

    In a semi related note i was once charged €37 for a double vodka and redbull and a double Captain and coke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭wardy2


    I got charged 14.50 in a night club there few weeks ago ,never again

    Nicest drink you can drink authority there is southern comfort and west coast cooler in glass with ice. Its about 9 euro but beautiful to drink. Dangerous in that you could throw back 7-8 or them and not a bother till u later realise your hammered. Introduced a good few friends and workmates to it and not one person did i get negative response from.

    Try it and see???

    The only place I've ever seen them for that price in Galway is Club K and it is 100% real Red Bull/Smirnoff.

    Taste is subjective, calling other energy drinks cheap ass imitations implies there is something intrinsically better and of greater value within redbull justifying the fact they cost over 2 euro and the 'imitations' as little as 50 cent.

    Redbull is the biggest rippoff soft drink on the market, if they didn't have such massive advertising costs they could sell it for 50 cent too.

    Some people prefer coke over pepsi but they cost the same, coke isn't 4 euro a can.

    doctors have warned me off it. the heart rate the next day would confirm what they said. i drink very little red bull in general now, only with the odd jaeger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 645 ✭✭✭s14driftking


    15 euro here in the late bar rip off in my eyes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,125 ✭✭✭westendgirlie


    The smell of redbull turns my stomach.

    Gin, west coast cooler and a dash of lime all in a pint glass. Oh yeah!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    Love redbull, but avoid drinking more than one on a night out now after my heart pumping out of my chest from it! Cant imagine it being very good for you.

    Vommed up vodka red bull way too much during my youth to ever want to order it again.
