Does Red Bull give you wings

Well according to Red Bull and millions of RB drinkers around the world - yes, Red Bull can give people wings.

It can give a natural "high" by through stimulation of the adrenal glands and sugar release with the caffeine and a combination of taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, B vitamins, sucrose, phenylalanine, and glucose.[13] In Germany, a small amount of cocaine was discovered in Red Bull cola sold there. A full Red Bull recall was issued in several states. Six German states have banned the drink, with a nationwide ban under consideration. The drink did not contain enough cocaine to have a narcotic effect.[14]

Is it much different to the other energy drinks.

No.

It is the most established and got a big jump on Mother (Coca-cola) and sponsors "FAST" and thrilling sporting events. So clever marketing has implied that it gives you wings.

Please becareful with energy drinks. This is some good advice:

# Water and appropriate sports drinks should be used for rehydration

# Energy drinks should not be used for hydration.

# Energy drinks should not be consumed by athletes or party goers who are dehydrated.

# Energy drinks should not be consumed without prior medical approval, by athletes taking over the counter or prescription med

Take care, these drinks can act like a drug!
