Low-alcohol beer (also called non-alcoholic or NA beer, small beer, small ale, or near-beer) is beer with very low or no alcohol content. Most low-alcohol beers are lagers, but there are some low-alcohol ales.
In the United States, beverages containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) were legally called non-alcoholic, according to the now-defunct Volstead Act. Due to its very low alcohol content, non-alcoholic beer may be legally sold to minors in most American states.
In the United Kingdom, the following definitions apply by law (correct as of May 2007):[1]
In the rest of the European Union, beer must contain no more than 0.5% ABV if it is labelled "alcohol-free".
- No alcohol or alcohol-free: not more than 0.05% ABV
- Dealcoholised: over 0.05% but less than 0.5% ABV
- Low-alcohol: not more than 1.2% ABV

Red Bull is not good choice for a thirst quencher anyway.. A pure electrolyte based drink (which contains no caffeine) is far better for the body. I personally prefer pure fruit juices over any energy drink.
As-salaamu `alaykum
There's a degree on nonsense in such articles. As the manufacturers stated and investigations have confirmed, taurine can be found in other than the testes of bulls and in addition, can be produced synthetically. Naturally, companies choose the latter option as it is far more efficient for production - mass producing taurine in factories would yield far more output than the 'manual' process. This is in turn better for business!

Concerning the production of taurine (from Wiki):
"Synthetic taurine is obtained from isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid), which in turn is obtained from the reaction of ethylene oxide with aqueous sodium bisulfite. Another approach is the reaction of aziridine with sulfurous acid. This leads directly to taurine.
In 1993, approximately 5,000–6,000 tons of taurine were produced for commercial purposes; 50% for pet food manufacture, 50% in pharmaceutical applications. As of 2010, China alone has more than 40 manufacturers of taurine. Most of these enterprises employ the ethanolamine method to produce a total annual production of about 3,000 tons."
I'm with you brother.
I have had 1 energy drink, and I cannot see how people enjoy that. I felt jittery the entire time, and my hands were shaking. After about 4 hours, i had a serious CRASH. I was leaning against the wall in the stockroom falling asleep.
I'll take fruit juice or fruit anyday over an energy shot or drink.
Where I work, people buy them by the case.

Oh, I hope you were okay. That's interesting as a similar phenomenon is experienced when people consume fizzy drinks (carbonated). A short burst of energy and then you feel low (or as you mentioned 'crashing').
It always surprised me why people had energy drinks as they are priced 2-3 times more than a pure fruit juice drink (ie back home, not sure about the US). Not only do I prefer the taste of juices, but also it refreshes me a lot more.
I was fine thank you for asking. And I've never experienced that from a fizzy drink :O
The juice I buy is Tropicana, not from concentrate and is $6. Not bad considering it lasts us like 2 weeks alhamdulilah.
4 big pepsis @ one time? *shocked* :tongue:
aur you really insaan na?
...yes..i am insaan..but i love pepsi...
and corn syrup most probably.

I had a sort of related question - is it okay if I post here? I wonder if anyone knows whether chocolate liquor contains alcohol in it?
I tried to search for it, and some sites said yes it does, and others, that it doesn't. I also found an interesting bit that 'liquor' doesn't have alcohol, but 'liqeur' does.
Any idea?
I don't think its a problem.In arab culture the bedouins drink camel urine if they are sick or something like that.Also in whole of asia and africa there are many ingredients used in the making of herbs which you will find disgusting to hear about,but they are used in herbal medicine.
