Diet Redbull

[Purple Hugs]

Just a query.. know the answer.. but is Diet redbull ok? just one can?

We're away for a few days from tomorrow (no internet access either :wave_cry, I have a looong drive ahead of me and usually have a redbull on the return trip.. just cos I'm busy all day then we drive home in the early evening...

or are there any caffeine alternatives I can have? I don't drink coffee so that's not an option.

Thanks all

Have your tetra before the journey perhaps take one with you and keep up your water.

So based on the above one can as 7.5 calories, it contains salt and flavourings which are not allowed, Sodium Citrates and Taurine.

As CD has all the vitamins and minerals you need you will also be overdosing on some of these as well.

Water contains - nothing

Diet Red Bull is definitely not an allowable fluid on CD.

Oh and just a little bit of info re Taurine:

Taurine was first isolated from ox bile in 1827 where it is found in high concentration. (Tiedemann F., Gmelin L., 1827: Einige neue Bestandteile der Galle des Ochsen, Ann. Physik. Chem., 9, 326-337). The bovine connection (latin name "bos taurus") clearly explains the descriptive name "Taurine" was chosen

Can you drink green tea as that has caffeine?
