say several cans a day, everyday for about two and half months? Will I be running into some sort of problem ?

I failed my exams and I need to study the whole summer to succeed the second session of exams in September!!

Cheers,
Tony

I'm not a doctor, of course, but I can tell you first hand that cutting back from caffeine addiction can be pretty rough.
Feelin' tired, yet being unable to sleep. Unbelievable headaches. Cravings.

The Red Bulls are not going to help you.
If you think that you can cram all the missing studying into the 3 months leading up to September, more power to you.
Did you fail because of the Parisian attractions (and was she nice?).

Drinking coffee or other items with caffeine in it may not even keep you awake. You'd be better off with the likes of Gatorade.

If you treat the coming months as a 6-days-a-week 9-to-5 job, and stick to a regime of studying max. 1-1/2 Hrs at a time, then take a break of 10 minutes, between the hours of 9:00 and 17:00, you have plenty time to enjoy a daily stroll along the Seine, go to the flics, etc.
You can even take Sundays off.
Deviate from the above plan, and you are doomed

There's no point trying to study 18 Hrs. a day, you just can't.

Don't get me wrong, but a lot of everything or anything can kill you....... Golden middle way one once said....

excessive anything is bad. the stimulants in red bull may cause some issues I don't know. If it has caffeine in it you might have heart palpitations like i used to from taking no doZ before workouts.

Get some Relentless -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relentless_(drink) (bbcode doesn't seems to work with brackets)

And no, there is no proof of decease by redbull overdose; you will have sour stomac before going anywhere near death threatening drinking habits. XD

PS: get a break and then study for a month and a half to get your resit in septembre.

everything in excess is a poison. recently a woman in U.S. died from drinking excess water. excess oxygen can kill you as well. i don't think that 7 redbulls a day is an excess but im not a doctor.l
and one more thing regarding studying... remember that during sleep our brain is rehearsing whatever you have learned during the day. so it might be actually to your advantage to sleep 8 hours. another thing that helps is daily work outs and chocolate while you study. and between 9-5pm by no means have a huge dinner, as that will put you to sleep right the way and pump out a lot of blood from your brain into your stomach.

Thanks everyone for the tips!

If I die, I shall donate my personal T43 to the forum for educational use.

Not because of Parisian attractions, I fail because I'm sort of person who won't do anything if there's still tomorrow. I've never passed all my exams before summer, but this time I have more subjects to retake than ever. (something like fourteen, I think? ...)

However, I've never failed any school year either. (I usually go to Ireland for a couple of days before my exams, or just wear green shirts if it costs too much) But if I don't take this summer seriously, it will be my first time for sure.

I think I will start by not eating too much. (Thanks for pointing it out Matt. I always felt tired after a Sunday brunch but never thought they were related...)

Cheers,
Tony

May the force be with me!

Matt is also right about needing sleep, our brains won't retain information without "sleeping on it". Studying is good, but sleep is an important part of the equation for data retention.

Last summer I was drinking 2-3 a day. When I suddenly stopped ... wow ... I felt dead.Don't get addicted!

Don't drink RedBull and don't eat chocolate. Both could cause dental problems.

sorry but you just set yourself up for it

hehehhehe.
don't breath, oxygenation causes release of free radicals and leads to cancer

@mattbiernat: Oxygen doesn´t have necessairely to do with oxygenation in your body

@ulrich.von.lich: Since RedBull and chocolate are now taboos for you

, I would recommend you trying avoiding sex for the next 2 and half months!

Now, seriously, since you have a little time and you have to study a lot, avoiding any sexual activities would significantly increase your productivity. That´s not a joke

Cheers
