Congratulations on survival!! I assume any final analysis will take place on the blog, so I won't request it here (unless you feel like it).
I'd be concerned about my liver and kidneys. The author will probably survive this, but without nutrients the additional stressors will cause some damage. Did the author follow his own advice regarding talking to a doctor?
I have a full bill of health from my doctor. As noted in the disclaimer this is in no way healthy for you, but most fad diets really aren't.
What's the point of this? Drinking a beer on an empty stomach will compound the alcohol absorption, and mixing a depressant with red bull puts you at serious risk of heart problems.
If it's a new diet fad you're after, you'd be much better off just drinking water for three days.

I agree, check out the post. You will see reasoning contained within.
That's plain stupid. Why are you doing this?
I think the article explains that all. I would love for you to read it.
Thanks but I did read it and did not find an explanation inside the post except "So you are probably wondering why am am doing this and want an explanation besides ‘because I though having an excuse to drink beer all weekend was rad’. Its a good question and one I will expand upon in time, but for right now I will say it has to do with how many ridiculous and dangerous dieting fads are out there today." -- which does not explain it at all. That is why I did ask.
My guess is you're bored and want some traffic from HN, and are going to post three follow-ups here the coming days...

Wasn't Brain the one that was always getting his plans foiled?
Very much interested in how this turns out. I don't expect to have any grand revelations, or learn how omgbad a Red Bull & beer diet will be, but I'm very curious :)
Have fun! I think my wife would kill me before this diet would, if I attempted to do it.

All-artificial diet. Drugs in everything. Brilliant!
I agree with the sentiment on fad diets however these drinks both contain drugs and put your health at risk from potential caffeine or alcohol poisoning. This experiment will also certainly ruin your sleep.
The simple rule for the consumption of food or drugs is moderation.

Im so pumped to hear you say that. You will like my post mortem on this experiment.
Slightly off topic but if anyone is serious about improving their health and fitness (weight loss or strength) I can't recommend this guide enough: http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html . It's a great guide that provides succinct advice without any of the bullshit that you find everywhere else.
