And students! I remember it- it tasted VILE- caffeine is really bitter-
that's why they add so much sugar to it.

Problem is the folks who are wixing alcohol and Red Bull etc are doing
nasty things tho their bodies- there was a guy a couple of weeks ago- He
hadn't eaten a real meal- went to the gym, ate a couple of Power Bars,
did a full workout, then went to the club and slammed back FOUR of these
Red Bull/booze drinks. Really should have been no surprise when his
heart couldn't take it. I call this Darwinism in Action!
