Invented in Japan? Wrong. They have taurine drinks such as Livita, invented in 1962, but it is not caffeinated and has a completely different formula.

And who drinks them like bottled water? The cans themselves state to limit intake to three cans a day in order to keep caffeine below 500mg a day, a limit easily exceeded by three large Starbucks coffees, yet they give no warning.

And finally, maybe you personally get muscle twitches. Maybe you have a caffeine sensitivity. I have drank a Monster three days in a row on many occasions with no adverse affect. Now, I usually drink about one per week.

That said, don't post baseless BS that can't be backed up by any facts.

Oh, and stop drinking beer! It causes infidelity!!
Guys, I didn't mean to start the urination olympics with this thread. My point was that 3 friends damn near died and common between them was Red Bull. It got my attention. That is all.
