I first tried Redbull in '96. I remember it clearly because my Shaolin disciple brother had found some in Beijing. He was a snowboard/skate punk, and had heard of this only-available-in-Asia drink that gave you a buzz. So we got some, drank it and asked each other if we felt anything. Neither of us were overly impressed.
In '97, we went to Thailand, and Redbull made a lot more sense. Redbull was originally a Thai invention. It was really good in the tropics - nothing like an ice-cold can to get you to the next block in Bangkok.
I think my last major Redbull binge was the premiere of KA in Vegas, one of the greatest parties I've ever been at (see <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=595">http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/a ... rticle=595</a><!-- m -->) I stayed up all night on Guinness and sugar-free Redbull.
I stopped drinking it when I went veg a few years back. Now we see a lot of Redbull-related cases in Rock Med. It's the fad to mix it with hard alcohol, and that can go really sour, like head-in-a-bucket sour, for hours...too wired to just pass out. :vom:
