Can I Fail A Drug Test From Drinking Redbull

Question: Can i fail a drug test from drinking redbull
Brief Answer:
Better to avoid taking Redbull before a drug test
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting us with your health question
There is no established evidence to suggest Redbull can give a false positive drug test. However, urine drug tests look for the presence of molecular structures similar to the drug and not the drugs per se.
So consuming Redbull, which is a stimulant can result in amino acids in urine that could mimic the presence of drugs. So to be on the safer side, it is best to avoid taking RedBull for at least 2 days before taking a urine drug test.
