Red Bull Energy Drink is not an alcohol class. Official US ingredients list caffeine, taurine, B-group vitamins, sugar, and water — no ethanol line. Official UK Q&A for the “Fruit in Rum taste” Winter Edition: the can is alcohol-free. A vodka-and-Red-Bull serve counts the vodka. Hard Red Bull or other alcoholic energy SKUs would be a different bottle if the can prints ABV. Do not invent a caffeine milligram that the can does not print.
