What Happens When You Drink 20 Red Bulls?

This happened a while back, but still makes us laugh serves as an example.

48 year old Peter Edwards was caught “swerving from side to side” across the road. The police had trouble stopping him – he overtook their car and almost rammed into a truck. He was eventually stopped using a “stinger device” that punctured his tyres.

Edwards was later tested and found to be free of any alcohol and drugs.

It turns out he had consumed 20 cans of Red Bull. By the sounds of it, he had been drinking these over the duration of a whole night. By our calculations thats about 1.6 grams – still a long way off from a lethal dose – but enough to make you go crazy.

Red Bull made this inane comment: “there is no added benefit in consuming the product in excessive amounts.” Yeah no kidding.

Only an American would be this moronic.

Only a European would be moronic enough not to read the article.

“Peter Edwards, 48, from King’s Lynn, was jailed for four months on Friday after Norwich Crown Court heard he was pursued across Cambs and Norfolk. “

Wiam A October 20th, 2006 6:34 am

Hilarious article
As to the rest of you — chill out.
Americans don’t rule, but they don’t suck either.
We’re just…… Americans.

silly socialist Europeans you try and make peace but your just weak. whats frances muslim car burning count up to… they are so weak they dont even have authority in thier own country, pathetic

Scott October 20th, 2006 8:05 am

Funny Article.
As far as “Americans” go:
If you want to be technical, Americans can be from Argentina to Canada…..most coming from all parts of the world. In that light, we are as moronic as our roots. I have been all around the world and I know that you can find a moron (or redneck) in any part of the world. Red Bull Rules!! unless you consume 20 plus cans.

if it wasnt for americans, Europeans would be living under either nazi or communist rule

pie October 20th, 2006 11:17 am

If it wasn’t for europeans, america wouldn’t be what it is today…

Scott October 20th, 2006 11:30 am

Pie, we helped in WWII for sure, but don’t think that we did it all by ourselves. There were many key contributions from Europeans in the areas of technology and man power. Our biggest contribution in WWII was daylight bombing of the German Factories and the Ploesti oil fields. Devices such as radar and our atom bomb technology as well as our subsequent rocket program were all technology from Europe. We had the manufacturing might (at that time). Things have changed a bit in 61 years.
can’t we all just ….get along ?? LOL

Scott October 20th, 2006 11:31 am

oops, someone used my name for a negative comment…

Scott October 20th, 2006 11:32 am

I must need more Caffeine

Scott October 20th, 2006 3:00 pm

I posted first you used my name lol :)

Mike October 22nd, 2006 3:05 pm

I’ve done about 1.6 grams before, and didn’t actually feel much. Granted I had worked up one hell of a tolerance over the summer, but I didn’t expect to feel nothing from 8 nodoz max strength.

bono October 23rd, 2006 2:11 pm

The man is mentally ill!

Tom Swiss October 29th, 2006 1:33 pm

“free of any alcohol and drugs”? Err, caffeine is most definitely a drug.

If you mean “free of drugs that are currently illegal in the relevant jurisdiction,” please say that.
