First off, it's FAR from drinking a Coke. Red Bull not only has lots more caffeine, it also has taurine, b-12, and who knows what else. I've heard mixed things about b-12, such as it's good and bad for you.....not sure about taurine, but I know it's for energy. I'm surprised they don't put guarana in it, but that gives you green poo.
RB is popular in the bars these days, mixed with vodka. I guess it'll help you stay awake after drinking heavily.
I've drank some before some rides, and sometimes I felt it gave me more energy, other times I felt it made my heart race....I don't like having a racing heart.
If you drop by the Asian markets you can pick up RB for Asia, it's non carbonanted and is much sweeter than the RB sold for the US market.....I think I prefer the US version.
