You could have had a spiked drink like djwoody stated but if you google red bull allergy there are some horrendous stories from people after drinking red bull.

You are taking 2 drugs that have competing effects. Alcohol wants to slow the body down and caffeine wants to speed it up. I suppose 1 VRb won't do much but 10 pints! Is that 1 can of RB in a pint? each can is supposed to be the caffeine equivalent of 2.5 cups of coffee so you have taken in the caffeine from 25 cups of coffee! If the earlier poster is correct and each pint (560ml) contains 150ml of vodka then 10 pints = 1500 ml or 1.5 litres (2 normal bottles) of vodka. So 25 cups of coffee and 2 botlles of vodka and you are surprised you were ill!

Perhaps it was the ice? Or a dirty glass LOL

Sheer dehydration from boozing and then vomitting I suspect. When severely dehydrated the lack of particular salts in the blood can cause the reaction you had to hands (sometimes feet aswell)

Hi De Hi hit it on the head.

Vodka Red Bull is banned in many placed because of the effect execssive consumption can have.

Vodka is a relaxant and red bull a stimulant, both combined can play havock on the muscles, therefore the clawed hands.

In my experience, people who boast about anything, especially something like alcohol consumption, have low self esteem. Sadly, the boasting does nothing to enhance the opinion others hold of them.

Burns had it summed up nicely:

O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us, tae see oursels as others see us.
