    sugar-free is better than the rwgular, some guys on here admit to using them a little while before their workout to wake up...

    where'd you hear it was bad?

    nothing wrong with the sugar free version IMO...good bit of caffeine to give you a boost. the original red bull has quite a bit of sugar in it, but beyond that, it's fine.

    I prefer the Low-Carb Monsters, Diet Rockstars, Low carb Kronics, or the no carb "Boo-Koo" drinks.

    All bigger cans. What pisses me off about the Red Bulls is the SIZE of the can!!

    WTF is that, a thimble???

    no, redbull has alot of sugar..

    Ingredients: carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, sodium citrate, taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, inositol, niacin, D-pantothenol, pyridoxine HCL, vitamin B12, artificial flavours, colors
    Nutrition Facts: Serving Size: 8.3 fl. oz Servings per Container: 1 Amount per serving: Calories: 110 Total Fat: 0g Sodium: 200mg Protein: 0g Total Carbohydrates: 28g Sugars: 27g

    most low/carb preps have very little..

    buy you know that.. so i must be confused..

    I would drink Sugar Free Red Bull all the time if they were cheaper, and, good point Swole; unsual how Red Bulls cans are tiny compared to it's competitors. Seems like they would have made them larger by now. Guess the profit margin must be higher on less volume for them

    it cant be ok for you over time, even the sugar free shit. they take out the sugar, they have to put something else in it and i know it aint nutrients. if its got caffiene its bad for you and if its got carbonation its bad for you period.

    i disagree, who says caffeine is all bad? all i'm sayin is two or three 8 oz sugar free redbulls everyday is not necessarily bad.

    where do you get off saying anything with carbonation is bad for you? a hi-c uncarbonated drink would be worse for you than a diet coke...who says a diet soda is bad for you? i think it helps keep a lot of people sane and satisfied while trying to enjoy their meals while at the same time avoiding sugar and empty calories
