Woman 'Going Blind' After Drinking 28 Red Bulls Every Day
Telegraph ^ | 04 Aug 2015

A 26-stone woman has claimed that she is going blind after drinking 28 cans of the stimulant drink every day

A woman has claimed that she started to lose her sight after drinking dozens of cans of Red Bull every day.

Lena Lupari, 26, has gained so much weight from drinking seven litres of the energy drink that her brain has swollen. The mother-of-three was ingesting 3,000 calories every day and was unaware of the harm she was doing to her body until she collapsed in June.

She told the MailOnline: "I used to drink 28 cans of Red Bull in a day and I'd only have a meal at night but it would usually be something fast-food like a takeaway or a packet of pasta.

"I've got three young children, one with special needs, and didn't have time to make anything.

"I'd been suffering from migraines and headaches for about five years but I just ignored them and took painkillers. "Then my vision went and I couldn't even lift my head off the bed and I ended up in hospital for six days."

I’ve never even had a Red Bull. Why are people so stupid?

I don't see how she could make it past 2.

I tried a Red Bull once and could barely down one bottle without inducing nausea. It was the worst mass-marketed soft drink I had ever ingested-Gatorade being a close second.

We’re supposed to feel sorry for her because she’s stupid? I can however feel sorry for her kids.

She was probably having headaches due to not eating any protein.

I’ll bet if she was drinking that much Red Bull, something else made her blind...something your mother warned you about...nevermind.

There are some people who are just so incredibly stupid as to defy logic. And then there will be an ambulance chaser in her room ready to file a lawsuit on her behalf claiming it was Red Bull’s failure to realize she was ingesting 7 liters of their product a day.

She’s not only lazy, she’s huge.

26 stones = 364 pounds.

Every now and then, I’ll buy the Monster Coffee Mocha. I’ll buy it when I’m running late for work or too lazy to make regular coffee. I would never drink it all the time though, and Red Bull is just nasty I won’t even touch it. Plus it’ll F up your kidneys.

4 red bulls is about $10 in my area. To drink 7 of them means that she is spending $70/day on Red Bull.

How can she have this much money to spend on that?
