as the title i just cant stop drinking the stuff i have between 2-6 cans a day. i dont feel like im getting a high off it but do get severe cravings for the stuff and always give in. is it really that bad a thing?? what will happen??

im genuinely worried about this so any advice apreciated,

thank you............................

I have a friend who is in a similar situation to you. he does manual work all day then trains at night so drinks 6+ cans a day.

However he has recently been suffering with headaches and pains in his chest. He stopped the energy drinks and its cleared up.

I would guess at it being a sugar craving? Either way drinking that much carbonated drink is bad for you, your health and your teeth. Ween yourself of it asap.

move to sugar free, and reduce the intake

You're probably craving caffeine... it is a drug after all and there are masses of it in Red Bull. What you're experiencing is just like people dying for that coffee at the office first thing in the morning to wake them up.

Just quit and stop being a pussy. I did get pains in my chest after drinking a lot of Red Bull - I'm quite sensitive to caffeine.
