Red Bull sponsored or influenced research overwhelmingly concluded that mixing vodka with its product poses no health risk—a 95% favorable finding rate that contrasts independent research showing elevated cardiovascular and neurological risks.

Beverage companies engineer consent around risky products by controlling the research apparatus rather than the product itself.
