Title: Red Bull ?
Post by Summerbabe on Jul 12^th, 2006, 10:18am

:) Hi all, at point of desperation again, I noticed in several posts some of you stating to drink red bull during a cycle . What does it do? Also they dont taste very good , any ideas on mixing, but without alcohol of course because thats a huge trigger for me , :(. God I crave an ice cold beer..... :P, let me know , thanks , Summer :-*

The taste gets better the more you drink it (at least that's what I've found). I actually like the taste now. Hated it at first.

The magic combination seems to be a high dose of caffeine along with the taurine. Taurine is said to enhance the effect of caffeine, and I can tell you that if I slam two of them right at the beginning of a hit, it will chase it away.

I also then feel like chewing my own lips off.

Make sure they're ice-cold. The taste is much more palatable.

Nope. Caffeine is a vaso-constrictor, as are all the triptan drugs. Dialation is our enemy.

Class dismissed.

Go forth, make it a great day, and find you some Red Bull! You've got me thinking about it now - I'm headed to Sam's Club to buy a case.
