    Default Redbull giving people strokes?

    Just saw where Robert Arrington had a 2 strokes. His wife was told at the Cleveland Clinic that it was an RCVS (reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome) from drinking a Redbull.

    once upon a time, I was in vegas sitting next to my cardiologist at 8 in the morning drinking a RBV (red bull and vodka) at the blackjack table. We started chatting about silly heart stuff and the conversation turned to "stress tests." After my umpteenth RBV, I asked him when my next stress test would be. He turned to me and said "you just had one over the last hour or so."

    I guess I passed?
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    This used to be talked about more. We even had training at work due to some employees having trouble drinking them on the job.

    Hate it for Rob. A little over the top sometimes but seems like a really decent dude.

    What line of work are you in some of these RBV's may clean out the work force!
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    I remember when this family here in Chapin lost their son. 16 years old.

    You mean it’s bad for you to drink an “energy drink”??? How about that…..

    99% of the workers at my job should be dead any minute now if redbulls, monsters and the like are killing folks. I guess the nicotine must counter act the caffeine and sugar consumption.

    Never had one. Never will.

    I'll drink coffee, roll down the window, blare music or.. pull over.

    Hispanics must be immune to Red Bulls. They drink them like water

    I believe the connection that’s trying to be made is chugging energy drinks directly before a strenuous activity.
    There’s a lot more than just caffeine in those things.

    I drink them too though.

    If you're drinking any "energy" drink then you've got more baseline issues worse than any secondary effects from said drinks.

    So chug a lug you meth breathers.
