In reply to Red Bull?, posted by Donia on August 12, 2004, at 22:05:21
Red Bull has 80 mg caffeine, about the same as a cup of coffee, plus something like 7 teaspoons sugar. Also has taurine and other stuff. Some people dropped dead from drinking too much of it, so it's banned in some countries including Canada. Here's a link about it

What I don't understand is, if the caffeine is the same as coffee, then why does the govt claim it has excessive caffeine? Nobody is banning starbucks.
