Ingredients
Red Bull contains taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, B vitamins, sucrose, and glucose. Red Bull sugar-free also contains aspartame, acesulfame K, and sucralose in place of sucrose and glucose.[20]
Red Bull GmbH also manufactures Red Bull Cola, containing the coca leaf, which has sparked a controversy in Germany regarding minute traces of cocaine.[21]
[edit] Health effects
A review published in 2008 found no documented reports of negative or positive health effects associated with the amount of taurine used in energy drinks, including Red Bull, concluding that "The amounts of guarana, taurine, and ginseng found in popular energy drinks are far below the amounts expected to deliver either therapeutic benefits or adverse events. However, caffeine and sugar are present in amounts known to cause a variety of adverse health effects."[22] Another publication found that "the number of available publications that really go into the details in this topic is also rather poor".[23]
Commonly reported adverse effects due to consumption of the levels of caffeine used in the quantities commonly present in Red Bull are effects such as headache, nausea, and anxiety (see Health effects of caffeine). For drinking too much Red Bull and side-effects including tachycardia (see Caffeine intoxication). A 2008 position statement issued by the National Federation of State High School Associations made the following recommendations about energy drink consumption, in general, by young athletes:[24]
Water and appropriate sports drinks should be used for rehydration as outlined in the NFHS Document “Position Statement and Recommendations for Hydration to Minimize the Risk for Dehydration and Heat Illness.”
Energy drinks should not be used for hydration. Nor should they be used for performance enhancement
Information about the absence of benefit and the presence of potential risk associated with energy drinks should be widely shared among all individuals who interact with young athletes.
Energy drinks should not be consumed by athletes who are dehydrated.
Energy drinks should not be consumed, without prior medical approval, by athletes taking over the counter or prescription medications.
[edit] Cardiovascular effects
The results of a study showed that the ingestion of one, 250mL can of sugar-free Red Bull, in a sample of 30 healthy young adults, had an immediate detrimental effect on both endothelial function, and normal blood coagulation. This temporarily raised the cardiovascular risk in these individuals to a level comparable to that of an individual with established coronary artery disease.[13]
Based on their results, researchers involved with the study cautioned against the consumption of Red Bull in individuals under stress, in those with high blood pressure, or in anyone with established atherosclerotic disease.[25] Red Bull representatives, however, stated that this observed increase in cardiovascular risk was not felt to be different from that associated with drinking a regular cup of coffee.[26] They also stated that they believed that Red Bull must be safe, as it was felt the only way Red Bull could have such substantial global sales is if various health authorities had concluded the drink safe to consume.
There has been at least one case report of Red Bull overdose causing postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in a young athlete.[27] A February 3, 2009 article in The Daily Telegraph called, "Red Bull 'may have triggered heart condition that killed student'" reported on the death of a 21 year-old woman who died after drinking four cans of Red Bull as well as alcohol at "social levels".[28] It was believed, but had not been proven, that she suffered from a rare heart condition called long QT Syndrome.[28] She was on medication for epilepsy. A medical examination found that there were no illegal drugs in her system. The article quoted a doctor as saying, "The QT levels may have grown over a few years, or it may have been artificially pushed over the limit by caffeine".[29]
[edit] Cocaine controversy
In April and June 2009, batches of "Red Bull Cola" drinks imported from Austria were found to contain between 0.1 - 0.3 micrograms of cocaine per litre, according to Hong Kong officials. In Taiwan it was found that the importer was due to launch a marketing campaign the next day. Importing cocaine to the island is an offense that is punishable by death or a life sentence in prison. In Germany, 11 out of 16 states had already banned the drinks by May 25, 2009.[8][9][10][11][12]
Testing of Red Bull Energy Drink and its variations has shown that a person with a low tolerance for cocaine would [theoretically] have to consume two million cans of the drink in a single sitting before becoming critically ill from the cocaine.[30] However, this finding is legally irrelevant since distribution of cocaine is illegal in any quantity in Taiwan. At this point, no further action has been taken on the matter in Taiwan.
[edit] Caffeine content
The caffeine content of a single can of Red Bull contains 80 mg/250 ml of caffeine.[31][32] This is about the same as one cup of normal coffee, or slightly less depending on the brewing method.[33] The actual caffeine level in Red Bull can vary depending on country, as some countries have legal restrictions on how much caffeine is allowed in drinks.
As is the case with other caffeinated beverages, Red Bull drinkers may experience adverse effects as a result of overuse.

No amount of police or army officials can hold back citizens when they heading to a free event.
Shuttle service would not have worked because there is no place to park cars in downtown POS. Carpooling might have worked but that would have required police to check every single vehicle.
Ferry service running non stop would not have worked because where are the ppl going to be dropped off?
The only way was to not have it here in the first place and that's out of the question because I"m glad they came and had the 1st one in the Caribbean here.
If everyone had left early the traffic would have started even earlier.
There isn't any place to hold an event like that on the island other than Chaguaramas. If, and it's a big if, south had a venue like that then it would have worked because there are many access points throughout....
Say what, the event come and gone, one man dead, ppl get robbed and so on and so on.....9 days max and we forgetting about this.

Here's what should have been done
1. Shuttles from city gate to the venue. People pay for the trip.
2. Make use of the ferry's from sando to pos and pos to pier2 and/or hire some private vessels. Let people pay for the trip. Easy revenue for the state.
redbull/bryden or whoever was fully aware of the potential traffic situation but they did nothing about it to make their event accessible, but you all want to blame the police
But hey, next time let's all leave home at 5am.
