'Cocaine' found in RedBull.

Germany will ban the sale of it, following other countries as Denmark, Norway and Uruguay, etc.

No addiction so far, so it may not be true. ;)

Hope all is well in Ireland. I grew up believing it was a safe Catholic music/horse loving country where my ancestors came from.

The UAE is testing the popular energy drink Red Bull for cocaine after traces of the illegal substance.

This is utter bullshit.

There are more than 140 different substances in a Red Bull drinks.

Slowly they are trying to find out whether RedBull is damaging in large amounts to humans, or not.

You will hear more in the future. In the mean time, be smart and don't drink it in excessive amounts.

Limit yourself ;)

Well I don't drink it. I stay with ancestor drinks....water, natural juices, milk, and alcohol. On occasion I may have a coke, root beer, cream soda, or ginger beer but only once a year for each.

I love my ancestor diet.

I lost a friend due to overdrinking of red bull, probably 3-4 day. One day he suddenly collapsed and was brought to the hospital and the diagnosis was mild stroke. He stopped drinking it but the damage was done. One day; while driving home he suffered a stroke and had an awful crash. The autopsy reported that he died before the crashed.

redbull contains caffeine, that's probably the reason, not the redbull itself (as opposed to other brands). overdrinking is never good. moreover with bad body shape (overweight).

Water's the best.

Young people are shy to say it because it sounds old fashioned.

water is for regular drink. pocari (or some other isotonic drinks) is considered better consumed after exercising as it contains some extras (minerals/ions) required for body to re-hydrate faster.
