What is it in these things that make some people's hearts race and whatnot with one sip, and yet other people like me can handle 3 in a 6 hour period and just be really hyped? |

As for the ingredients, it could be MDMA.

In conclusion, no idea.

| Well I once stayed up all night working on a midterm paper, I drank about 20 or so cans, and all day the next day I just sat on my couch staring at the wall rubbing my knee.

Grape NOS was my life force last semester. Not because I needed it per se, but it was fun experimenting with how much I could handle. |

Seriously, they do have a tendency to make stressful situations worse, and they do tend to build up in your system, so to get back to getting the "full effect" from one, you sometimes have to "detox" from them every once in a while... |

If you drink a lot of soda or coffee, you're not going to be affected as much by any product that has caffeine in it.
I like Red Bull but I try not to drink them. They are really unhealthy. I can't believe some of you guys are drinking 15 or 20 at a time!? Dayem! That is Soooooooo bad for you. Not to mention (but I will) they can make you fat pretty fast. They have tons of carbs and sugar. The caffeine mixed with B vitamins actually work against eachother and can dehydrate you and cause a big crash. Worse crash than with coffee.
With all that said. I'm still guilty of having a red bull (rarely) on workout days when I just have no energy to work out. It gives me wings! |

BTW, V is the best |
