A friend of mine visited singapore not too long ago, and he got hooked on the red bull. It's sold in convience stores and grocery stores sometimes, but it's mostly sold in those 'buy good shit for your body' stores. I can't think of what to call them right now.
However, even though it says you shouldn't mix it with alcohol, you should. It's amazing with alcohol.
We sometimes make buckets of alcohol drinks. One of them being red bull, mixed with.. um... rye maybe?? and some type of pop. Sprite or Coke work fine, but Sprite is the best.
Go check those energy stores or whatever though. You can usually buy them in bulk there.
Also, on the 'real stuff' note, I believe that is just something spread by an invalid source. I have heard the same thing, and have tried the stuff straight from singapore. It tastes exactly the same as the stuff sold here, but comes in different bottles. We can't sell them in big bottles like they do elsewhere, which is where i think the whole story got mixed up. I think it's the same stuff, just sold in smaller bottles.
Oh yeah, a lot of bars sell it too. They sometimes mix it with alcohol, because it's not illegal, yet. I don't think there are any specific health reasons why you can't mix it with alcohol, except for the fact that it makes it so you can drink a hell of a lot more than usual without feeling ill.
