As with most "health" drinks in Korea, it's loaded with sugar. |

| I avoid "health drinks" in Korea because a fair number of them have caffeine and nicotine as ingredients. |

There is no "equivalent" of Red Bull here, and Red Bull doesn't contain Vitamin C anyway. The nearest thing to it is Bacchus from what I've seen. |

You need to go on base for red bull. Make friends with a military person and get them to get you some. |

| If you live in Bundang, the ilovecookie.com store currently has a bunch of Rockstar and Red Bull. |

The kind that you can only get in pharmacies, that is (bacchus-D). The other kind is crap.
Take a look at the wiki. It's far more potent than Red Bull...

Why is it more potent than Red Bull? It has a higher dosage of taurine, but it's questionable whether extra-intake of taurine actually has any effect at all. Both products contain B-vitamins. Red Bull has caffeine. |
