In terms of caffeine - probably not(really, it doesn't have a lot)
In terms of sugar - eeeh -
wxcazee9097yFrench redbull contains half the international amount of caffeine. Also, I take sugarless redbull. And I don't drink them all at once.

wxcazee9097y@Aitkotw my medications make me incredibly drowsy. But ya gotta keep throwing lines of codes to production.

Collie3997yRedbull is a quick fix to a bug (tiredness) that needs a more thoughtful solution. Look into homemade energy drinks, but don't overreach. If you're tired, take a break. #Redbullshit

Small cans? Nah.
I drank up to one and a half litres a day on a bad day at my worst. Granted that's to balance out the absolutely shattering effects of my prescription meds... But too much is 1g of caffeine a day, 100ml of your average drink contains 25mg making your little cans about 40mg.
I would say though, that it's a horrific drug. I'd like caffeine withdrawals to prednisolone withdrawals but caffeine takes about 2 weeks longer. Get off it, slowly and carefully and try not to replace it with something that has just as much shit in it.
Taurine is also used as an antiametic in way too large doses... That stuff is worse because its basically stomach acid. The sugar will likely kill you faster.
Your best bet is to taper down over 2-3 months dropping a can every 2 weeks or so which is generally the withdrawal cycle. Tell everyone you know you're doing it because you'll be a fucking arse whilst you do.
Worst case, replace I with tea... And look up how smack addicts withdraw because its basically the same process.
Just a heads up; my heart is one or the few organs that's damn near perfect despite the crap I put it through. Don't trust what anyone says on the long term effects, caffeine hasn't been consumed in this form for long enough to know... They're likely horrific. -
@Paramite awhhh that's fine 😂😄
I was more thinking jaundice or kidney issues were most likely.
Fuck sleep! I'll sleep when I'm dead! -
@Paramite good shit man, good luck and I hope they stay that way for decades to come.
