Many people also do not head the warning printed onto the cans, which explicitly states, that you should _not_ ever mix red bull with alcohol, due to the fact, that youw ould be mixing a strong stimulating neuro drug with it as well.
There are no warning labels on the Red Bull cans in Sweden (well, one, read below).. In fact, when interviewed, the PR responsible at Reb Bull Sweden insisted on that Red Bull inflicts no harm whatsoever when combined with alcohol or exercise!
Here's what the swedish can says (forgive my poor translation):
"Red Bull Energy Drink - a refreshing taruine- and caffeine-containing carbonated drink which is especially developed to increase the performance level acheived with physical straining."
"Red Bull Energy drink - Stimulates the metabolism - Improves well-being - Increases stamina, reaction- and concentration abilities."
And here's the only "warning" on the can:
"Children, pregnant women and other people sensitive to caffeine are discouraged to use this drink."
The PR woman at Red Bull Sweden actually said that she encouraged people to mix Red Bull with vodka at parties.. From the articles, I found her very ignorant.
In Sweden you can't get any booze after 6pm - they've got federal alcohol monopoly
I think this is a good thing, you have one place to get liquour and that's at "Systembolaget":)..
And it's now even open on saturdays! heh..
You can get beer anywhere tho.
And of course they have this slight neonazi problem
There's only like 3 or so cities where you encounter it publically tho.
About the high taxes, if Canada has 50% we're lower with our ~30% (depending on income.)
