Well at least nobody could ever mistake Danzig for being (whispers and wrinkles nose) one of them:

I remember seeing pictures of Glenn Danzig in Kerrang magazine when I was a metalhead teenager.
He always looked like a real moody bastard.

From a HR perspective I think it would be the best if I doubled the 9 month break to 18 months just to be sure. Nobody wants to die from an educational overdose.

On a more serious note, I have consumed 16 cans of Red Bull in the past 2 and a bit days. Wonder what colour my insides are.

We like you <3 I bet you're cute too.

What's your subject, doc and inside leg measurement?

Jeeberz that's a fuckload of Red Bull 8(

If I drink more than about three cans it has me puking me guts out. Am amazed you got as far as sixteen 8o

And whilst we're talking HR, I'd bet not only one of Spade's balls but all three of 'em and his left nipple that you'd be safer caning ten pills a night for a month than drinking sixteen cans of Red Bull in one weekend. You never seen those pix of what a rat's brain looks like when it's had just one can of Red Bull injected into it? Carbonated grey matter ftl :(

PS: Yes, I know it was revealed several years later that although the study claimed to have used Red Bull it turned out they'd actually used a mixture of meths and sulphuric acid but they did it with only the very best of intentions. They were clearly just thinking of the children (my god please won't somebody think of the children) and it was in no way fraudulently deceptive anti-Red Bull propaganda devoid of any scientific validity.
 
whats in Red Bull, I thought it was just like a caffeine type thing...taurine innit, isn't that similar to caffeine..

I've only ever tried it once and it didn't give me any energy.

I imagine, as Shambles said, 16 cans is pretty fucking bad for you, of any canned fizzy pop.

There's plenty caffeine in it, and taurine, and B vitamins, and probably other stuff I've forgotten about. I am quite partial to the odd tin but I don't think I'd go over two or three cans in a day willingly.
 
what is taurine? does it occur naturally anywhere?

i'd never heard of it until red bull and similar enrgy drinks started to appear...

is it something that was invented by the drinks industry? have they just done something to a caffeine molecule? it sounded invented to me, like they'd thought of the name taurine to reflect the red Bull, or , did they name it Red Bull because they added taurine to the drink?

I know I could google it, but someone here might know, and others here might want to know...

It's found naturally in bile. I googled it you lazy fuck.
 
Lol at Red Bile :D


Bit of a weird one, eh?

Also, it's the thing in meat that cat's can't do without. So I suppose young LaserCat here could have something with a little more pizzazz in her bowl next watering time.

Not that she needs it, a strong dose of morphine seems more appropriate given her recent mood swings.
 
I was once told that taurine occurs naturally in bull's semen, hence the name of the drink. HOWEVER, before you chuck your half drunk can out of the window in disgust, the taurine in actual red bull is synthesized in a lab (phew!).

I was told this in a job training week years ago along with a speech about how unhealthy the stuff is, the woman running the thing was a bit of a health nut and thought it was her duty to ward us off the evil drink.
 
I suspect it's the caffeine in Red Bull that puts off the health nuts (whether they know it or not), taurine sounds like a pretty useful thing really:

"Taurine is used as a functional food in many energy drinks and energy products. Despite being present in many energy foods, it has not been proven to be energy-giving. A study of mice hereditarily unable to transport taurine suggests that it is needed for proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles. However, it has been proven effective in removing fatty liver deposits in humans, preventing liver disease, and reducing cirrhosis in rats."
 
Energy drinks (any brand - not just Red Bull) are the only beverage I know of that is guaranteed to cause a major bout of vomiting in even very slight excess. Initially I thought it must just be the caffeine but I doubt that's the case now. There's not that much caffeine in any of the energy drinks - 'bout the same as in a coupla cups of strong coffee and coffee never makes me puke no matter how much of it I drink. Taurine is the other ingredient common to all brands (other than sugar and water and the like) so is now top of my list of prime suspects.

EDIT: The possibility of liver-cleansing properties is interesting though. That would be a plus point.
