Other Things Red Bull Gives You

gascoigne-1.jpgThe life and times of retired British soccer legend Paul Gascoigne have basically taken a track akin to that of crotch-flashing legend Britney Spears — right down to the British accent and the whole involuntary commitment for mental issues angle.

Right before Gascoigne went “to hospital” — as the definite-article-hating Brits say — he was on the sort of bender only the deadest of rock stars might identify with: he was in rehab to try to dent his habit of drinking 50 cans of Red Bull a day.

…Gascoigne said he spent £16,000 trying to cure his addiction to RED BULL.

[He...] was downing 50 cans of the energy drink every DAY.

So he checked into a £4,000-a-week rehab clinic in America for a month.

The ex-England ace confessed to the bizarre addiction during late-night chats with a hotel worker at the Marriott in Gateshead.

The Sun has more. A mere 8 cans of Red Bull just last week sent another Brit to hospital, reports the BBC.

For those truly unconstrained by, say, work, Gateshead Marriott site here.
