For me it has two outcomes;
1) Nothing happens at all (90% of the time) 2) I get super hyper active (10% of the time)
In one night I had 5 red bull drinks and felt nothing. I usually take it whilst sitting down to study because I like the taste and for the slim chance the caffeine may boost my concentration.
What does it do for you?

I don't particularly like the taste of Red Bull, and I don't believe it'd do anything for me so there's no point subjecting myself to it. The one time I did attempt it as a kind of pick-me-up was when a whole group of us were doing an early morning meet up after being out late the night before. Everyone else thought energy drinks were smart and useful. I... did not understand, it was just juice to me. I didn't feel any less tired. At the time I figured it was just a placebo effect and I was less gullible This was before I knew I had AS, let alone ADHD. As far as I can tell the main "active" ingredient is caffiene? I chug Pepsi Max from waking until sleeping, and I've taken I think around 150mg in caffiene pills on top of that. Nothing. I sleep relatively well, it doesn't make me feel more awake during the day. As far as I could tell I didn't even feel more tired. So my decision not to go for the energy drinks seems to be a smart one, for me. They're expensive for something that might not do anything to me. ETA: I know some have other things like guarana in them, I don't think I've tried any of those though.

I discovered a few years ago that any night out I started with a few Red Bulls (or Monster or Relentless etc.) turned into a much more fun evening than just booze. The morning after, I would wake up and feel like I had actually experienced the evening, rather than just being there watching. I would remember conversations (with friends and strangers) and generally feel like I had been more "there" and involved.
Hard to explain really, but that's the difference it made for me. I guess it was like taking stims for my ADHD.
