In the early 80's, Dietrich Mateschitz, the founder of Red Bull, often travelled to Asia on business trips. There he came across some very popular energy drinks and an idea was born.

Back in Austria, he worked out his idea and with a lot of scientific know-how, the new liquid drug was Red Bull. In 1987, Red Bull was launched on the Austrian market. And slowly the rest of Europe followed. Raising profits from $1 Million in 1987 to $300 million in 1998, Dietrich became the unchallenged leader of all energy drink dealers.

Numerous scientific studies have shown the positive effects of RB and the safety of it's ingredients.

RB contains the following:
  • Taurine, an essential amino acid, which naturally occurs in the body. But you can have the craving for this drug when coping with high stress or physical exertion.

  • Glucuronolactone, also naturally found in the body, accelerates the fight against harmful substances in the body.

  • Caffeine, well known by everybody for it's stimulating effect. And there's 250ml of it in every can.

  • Carbohydrates; RB contains Sucrose and Glucose. The energy value of one can is 480kj.

  • Vitamins, RB contains B-complex vitamins.
Although this sounds very nice, many energy drinks were forbidden for a long time; even in Amsterdam it was hard to get this drug. Well legally that is.

But this is not strange because some of the other brands have as much caffeine in them as 10-15 cups of coffee.

Red Bull improves reaction, speed, concentration and increases physical endurance and mental alertness. Very nice, very nice, but a plate of pasta and a good cup of coffee gets you as high as a can of expensive Bull which, in some ways, is actually a liquid Happy Meal.

Energy drinks are often promoted by athletes in commercials or during sporting events, drinking the highly-stimulating drug either before or after a sporting event... isn't that doping? But most people addicted to energy drinks never fully get to use all that extra energy and stamina except maybe during a wild night at The Roxy's... oh no I'm sorry that place burned down a couple of years ago... in the Mazzo.

Red Bull also has a strange but special taste to which some people... feel strangly attracted. Unlike cocaine, which doesn't mix well with alcohol, Red Bull goes with any booze, from beer to Pushkin Red Vodka (strongly recommended). The good thing about this mix is that it lets you drink more because of all that energy.

Whoopy!! I can't wait to feel the hangover.
