Hi,

Red bull claims to be a non-alcoholic drink and contains caffeine, sugar among other ingredients. Caffeine can be harmful to the cardiovascular system. It can worsen the side effects of amphetamines such as jitters or anxiety. Using lisdexamfetamine together with alcohol can increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects such as increased heart rate, chest pain, or blood pressure changes.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
