The Daily Herald of Provo Utah reported on October 5th, 2007 that Red
Bull Energy drink when consumed in quantities can mimick alcohol
intoxication. The Herald reported "A Lehi teen recently
failed a field sobriety test after being pulled over for erratic
driving. Police determined the teen had been drinking only Red Bull,
Alba said." "'A police officer pulled over the car and gave a field
sobriety
test, and this individual failed it miserably,' he said, noting that
anecdotal evidence from around Utah Valley is beginning to show the
problem may be wide-spread."
