Woman 'Going Blind' After Drinking 28 Red Bulls Every Day
Telegraph ^ | 04 Aug 2015

A 26-stone woman has claimed that she is going blind after drinking 28 cans of the stimulant drink every day

A woman has claimed that she started to lose her sight after drinking dozens of cans of Red Bull every day.

Lena Lupari, 26, has gained so much weight from drinking seven litres of the energy drink that her brain has swollen. The mother-of-three was ingesting 3,000 calories every day and was unaware of the harm she was doing to her body until she collapsed in June.

She told the MailOnline: "I used to drink 28 cans of Red Bull in a day and I'd only have a meal at night but it would usually be something fast-food like a takeaway or a packet of pasta.

"I've got three young children, one with special needs, and didn't have time to make anything.

"I'd been suffering from migraines and headaches for about five years but I just ignored them and took painkillers. "Then my vision went and I couldn't even lift my head off the bed and I ended up in hospital for six days."

Consuming 28 a day of most things will cause some serious health issues.

The original Red Bull [Krating Dang in Thai] is a syrupy drink from Thailand which comes in 100 to 150 ml. bottles, at 40 cents a bottle in Thailand, 69 cents each in the US if you buy it from a Chinese grocery in six packs. Red Bull used to, and probably still does, sponsor the Saturday morning Muay Thai matches on Thai TV. Red Bull was a rival to Lipovitan D, from Japan, and now has has other rivals Carabao Dang [”Red Buffalo”] and M-150.

And the big drink in our college bars is called a Jagerbomb--peppermint schnapps and red bull.

Ah, yes, the Jagerbomb:

I've seen what this concoction does to the youngsters.

They drink this and then bounce off the walls like a mental patient.

Completely credible story. I used to work for a magazine publishing house and a lady would come in every other day after lunch to pick up certain types of small printing to be run off in the mom-and-pop printing shop she and her husband owned.

She told me she got up very early every morning to do the typing and layout she had to do for the day's printing, and by 10 AM she had downed approximately 40 cups of black coffee (5 pots). I was privately shocked and disbelieving.

When I saw her last we chatted as she waited for her packet...and she told me that her urine was blackish brown and her skin was turning brown, but she couldn't quit the coffee addiction even though her hands shook so badly she was having increased trouble typing. She seemed really nonchalant about it all.

Then one day she stopped showing up for her pick-ups, and my editor boss told me she had been carted off to the hospital in bad shape, he didn't know what was wrong.....but I did.....and I never saw or heard about her again.

“and was unaware of the harm she was doing to her body until she collapsed in June.”

Then she is a dummkopf. The consequences of drinking almost 10 liters of caffeinated sugar water a day ought to be fairly obvious to anyone who is not a hummingbird.
