I am not a big fan of them or any other energy drinks, much prefer good ol fashion coffee. :)  On occassion though I will have one, but just do not like the taste.

Sometimes I'll have it -- usually as a Jag Bomb. Tho at the bar I usually go to, they additionally have a different energy drink -- Liquid Ice -- that has a fruitier flavor, so usually I go for one of those in my "bombs".

I know many people think that they are just a bunch of sugar and caffeine, but I just have to chuckle... If I'm just drinking it on my own, I'll by the Sugar Free version (yes, they do make that). And the caffeine isn't absurdly high for a drink; I think coffee has more. It's mostly all of the B Vitamins that give you that energy boost.

I love Red Bull. I used to drink one just about every day to keep me awake. I know it extremely unhealthy, but I love how they taste and they really did help wake me up. Now, I just drink them with Vodka. Amazing! =]

I've never had Red Bull, and never plan to.  Worst things I drink in terms of that are iced tea and coffee which have caffeine - Red Bull has caffeine and stuff that is arguably worse as well.

People have told me about getting "high" off of red bull, so no, I dont drink it. Im not sure if that makes scientific sense, but I still avoid it.
