My kids like these energy drinks that are so popular nowadays—so it’s useful to learn what is in Red Bull. It looks like I won’t have to slap that can out of their hands next time I catch the whippersnappers drinking it (although I may have to give them a lecture about being thrifty—we fogies have to have something to complain about.)

If you see them drinking that Rock Star energy drink though, slap it out of their hands. Rock Star is owned by Michael Savage’s son.

Hey, thanks PZ! :)

I had no idea there was taurine in Red Bull. So that’s where the name comes from. I guess that’s what happens when you’re not into weird fashions …

I noticed Abel Pharmboy’s comment over there about how glucuronolactone can potentially interfere with oral contraceptives.
Looks like “wings” may not be the only thing Red Bull can give you.
