i used to drink one a day M-F for about a year...
then I started noticing some odd health problems - random changes in heart rhythms and pulse, and I felt like my body would go through withdrawal without one. once I quit i never noticed the heart problems again.
and it's true about the blood pressure. a few weeks back I gave blood and they were like, wow so you have high blood pressure? and I was like WTF, i've never had high blood pressure. it was about 160/90 at the time. went to the doctor's a week later and it was normal, 120/80. I realized I had drank a red bull that morning.
i used to love them but because they are quite addictive and the boost in blood pressure (even for short amounts of time) convinced me to give them up. sucks too, because they also gave me way more energy than just coffee.
