I just bought a bottle of Thai Red Bull
I cant make out anything from the letters so this might just as well be some thai bulls urine for all I know. Also the bottle is just like the ones you see in pharmacy, brown and small.

Anyone know if this is lethal?

If you don't know what it is and what it does, then why did you buy it in the first place?

uh
so is it a drug, or something?

Red Bull has been illegal by Canadian standards even in US/Brit commercialized form for having some type of carcinogen in it; Tarin. That might have changed by now - but I really doubt whatever that little potion (was) is legal this side of the Pacific

Actually this is exactly what the bottle looks like

It tasted a litlle diffrent that the Red Bull they sell in the supermarkets here, it didnt have any carbonated water and its best before date is 20.5.2006 There is also a text in the side of the etiquette similar to the ones found in cigarette packs, like a warning or something

Regular Red Bull is a high of caffeine, glucuronolactone, lots of sugar, and taurine. My guess is that you just drank a no frills version: sans carbonation and most of the drink itself - a shot to get you high. Was it a little viscous, or even thin syrupy?

(I'll still laugh my ass off if you end up stoned on morphine or something)

Nonono It wasnt like an extract, syrup or anything...
Just a power up I guess, like 2 "western" red bulls in 1.5 dl.
Stoned? I wouldnt know.
I hope it doesnt have amphetamine or cocaine like the early western soft drinks. Well on a second thought if it has I may just switch on to this.

There's no chance in Hell there's cocaine in it, and even if there were you wouldn't feel it when swallowed. I wouldn't doubt there's (pseudo) ephedrine in there, which is precursor to crystal meth.

Have fun

Don't worry, I've drank one of those few years ago. They're perfectly ok. My friend usually 'orders' a pack of those when someone goes to Thailand. Yes, his relatives do that a lot. It's pretty good. We usually do 'the bucket'. It means, put THAT EXACT red bull (not the ones in stores) and whiskey. I'm not sure how much each. Pour them in a small bucket. Everyone gets a straw, and at the same time starts sucking that wonderdrink. You are not supposed to let go before the bucket is empty.
Everyone just sucks hard for like 30 seconds and it should be empty if you put 0.5 or 0.7 whiskey. Remember, there should be maybe 5 of you doing this. Otherwise it's too much. It's a good one, guaranteed to make the night great!

And it's nothing very strong. It's just normal red bull^2

That sounds like a really nice coctail Pekka! I'm gonna have to try that sometime with friends of course. Too bad the thai red bull is so expensive in here. Bough my own across the finish academy buulding, near kurvi, sörkkä.

Anyway once I got home a strange thing happend. I suddenly felt really tired and went out for a half an hour nap. I saw a dream where my mom was doing something at work and said "I'm gonna call lauri about this now". As I saw her picking up the phone and starting to make the call, I woke up and my phone was ringing, I answered and it was my mom.

So does the red bull not only increase endurance and general good feeling but also give somekind of telepathic powers to anyone who drinks it? Have you been able to communicate with your friends telepathicly after your coctail Pekka?

From now on I will try to keep my blood pressure low by eating peanuts and drinking alchohol.

(Pekka I want to see you do that mix,since your recipe made no sence to me due to my bad anglais. You like put it into a saavi and then just pistätte saavin kiertämään? Or what?)

Nah.. I noticed nothing special. It is, after all just Red Bull . And whiskey!

No, you put it in a small ämpäri (small!) and get the suhde correctly, because it's easy to screw up and it tastes bad after that. Sitten otatte kaikki pillit, ja alotatte imemään samaan aikaan niin helkutisti että posket on lommollaan niin kauan, että astia/ämpäri on tyhjä. En muista suhdetta viskin ja red bullin suhteen, sorry .
