A standard 250 ml can of Red Bull contains about 80 mg of caffeine.

Quick Scoop

  • Caffeine in Red Bull 250 ml: ~80 mg per can.
  • This is roughly similar to a typical cup of home‑brewed coffee.
  • Red Bull’s sugar‑free versions have the same caffeine (still ~80 mg in 250 ml).

How that fits into your day

  • Many health guidelines suggest up to about 400 mg caffeine per day for most healthy adults, so one 250 ml Red Bull is about one‑fifth of that rough limit.
  • Having several cans plus coffee or other energy drinks can push you toward the upper end quickly, which may increase chances of jitters or poor sleep.

If you’re sensitive to caffeine, it’s wise to space out any energy drinks and avoid them later in the day to protect your sleep.

Bottom line: Red Bull 250 ml = about 80 mg caffeine, similar to one regular coffee, so factor that into your total daily caffeine tally.
