> Seems like a lot when put in terms of Redbull,

Redbull doesn't actually have that much caffeine. A typically, 8oz cup of coffee has more caffeine than a redbull.

In fact, most "energy drinks" don't have that much caffeine. They have other ingredients that also provide energy.

In the industry the other ingredients are called “pixie dust”.

The heavy lifting is done by the caffeine.

And anyone without a shockingly low caffeine tolerance also knows that one of the main ingredients in energy drinks is marketing.

Red Bull does nothing to most people that a cup of black coffee wouldn’t do. But the placebo effect is a helluva drug.

Are you sure about that? I drink coffee all day long and in the evenings too. Doesn't affect me much. But some of the energy drinks gets me completely hyper so that I can't sleep.
