What is the lethal dose of red bull energy drink?

Question

I read that its 4 cans for every kilogram of your body weight. Is that true? If so I've gotta do 217 till i die lol

Answer 1

the only reason they say not to drink too much red bull is because you can have a heart attack,not get poisoning or anything like that. it makes your heart beat faster,so if you drink alot at one time you might have a heart attack.

Answer 2

I don't know if they actually established an amount that can be lethal.

I do konw that since caffeine takes more water to process than caffeinated drinks provide then they actually dehydrate you. Since energy drinks have much more caffeine than sodas do then this would be much worse than folks that drink sodas all day long.

300 mg of caffeine per day is the danger level and can cause many health related problems. But if you take as much energy drink as you suggest then I suppose you would have a much more immediate problem of severe dehydration.

With the severe dehydration and large amounts of sugar from drinking that much I expect it would be very possible to die, or at least really wish you would.

Answer 3

It can be lethal?! I better cut down then.

Answer 4

That much liquid would casue H2O posioning.

I, for one, do not believe that you can "overdose" on Red Bull.

There just isn't anything in it that would kill you that any other drink doesn't have.

It has been proven over and over again that Red Bull has NO more caffeine in it than a cup of coffee the same size.

Answer 5
