All I know as I keep telling my 7th grade students not to drink them, especially before school. I have no legitimate reason to think this but I just don't think that it's good for their developing bodies.

I drink Diet Red Bull. It effects me about the same as a cup of coffee. I have never gotten sick from drinking it.
I will also occasionally drink diet Red Bull and vodka. The danger there is dehydration, but only in large amounts and again, I personally have never experienced any ill effects.

Over 1 billion cans of Red Bull were sold in 2000. I figure its safe in moderation.

Perhaps, but I can't do sugar, so I get by as best I can. While I can definitely tell the difference between a diet coke and a coke, the red bull taste is so unique, that I can barely tell the regualr apart from the diet.
I highly doubt that caffeine and taurine will hinder a child's development. Seems like the school in question is not using any scientific study to back up such a claim. I'd hypothesize that the American diet hinders a child's development much more.
Anyway, guess what? I had my very first energy drink ever today. It was called Monster. Damn! NOW I see why college kids drink this stuff. I'm now a fan.

It would probably be more cost effective to just take Taurine supplements and Caffeine (Guarana for one). Acetyl Carnitine is also good for upping your gas.
