Redbull

I drink the odd can of Redbull every now and again as I feel it's a bit of a pick me up in the morning instead of coffee, etc. When I bring a can into work it's as if I'm drinking the devils juice! Does anyone else get the same reaction?

I haven't had redbull since I was a teenager and drank a couple of crates of the stuff on a school skiing trip... I don't think I slept the entire week GrinGrinGrin

I don't see a difference between a redbull and coffee though, people are oddballs. Especially in offices, they get through 6 cups of coffee and 3 diet cokes a day but if anyone dares to bring a single can of redbull in the morning it's a genuine source of gossip Hmm I was the talk of the office once when it was discovered that I DON'T drink caffeinated drinks at all... I had people stop me in the hallways like it was dirty dirty gossip. "Not even coffee" "what about Diet Coke" Like I said, people are oddballs.

All the time! Every time! The ones I hate the most are smokers lecturing me on the evils of red bull. Hmm seriously?! Not only is my habit not as bad for me but it also doesn't entail me "sneaking" off site 3 times a day for "fresh air" I'm a teacher

I would never comment on someone else's food or drink why do people want to comment on mine?

Do you really use it to calm someone down with adhd or is that a joke?

Just smile at them and say but it gives you wings, then flap your arms as you walk away.
At least they'll stop commenting to your face....

A friend used to drink 2 cans on the train to work (7.30am) which turned my stomach. I can't even manage a bite of toast that early in the morning, let alone Redbull.

TMI Alert: Energy drinks give me the runs (and my poop goes a mad shade of yellow too)
