One great thing and therapeutic to boost about caffeine is that it dilates blood vessels and can be used to alleviate headaches. I just took a 200mg dosage in pill form to mitigate the headache I feel coming on.

This is an excellent point. Many of the headache relievers contain caffeine.
If he's controlling your caffeine intake then what else is he controlling? You are an adult and can make your own decisions. As for the red bull they are gross tasting. Do you like to drink coffee? Hey I am concerned about my husband being overweight but he's a grown man and I don't tell him what and how much he should eat even though I feel differently but unlike some my husband can take constructive criticism but that doesn't mean he always listens.

The main issue is the controlling behavior, but also he's just plain wrong when he claims it's bad for you. Coffee is in fact a health drink that would benefit most people to have every day (I don't know about Red Bull). If you ran this post in the Health subforum, you would get an eyeful of those benefits - everything from preventing liver disease and suicide, losing weight and improving workouts, to preventing Alzheimer's (though it takes about 5 cups of black coffee per day to do that, if I remember correctly).
My husband is on my case big time about quitting caffeine. I've always had either one small can of caffeinated drink (80mg caffeine) every morning, ever since I was 7. That's all I need to be productive, awake and focused each day. I sleep fine, and have never had issues with caffeine. (Except I do get withdrawal symptoms if I go without it)
And I'm 5'11, so much for coffee stunting growth!
But my husband is trying to forbid me from coffee. When I ask why, he can't give a coherent reason. He just says it's not healthy. So now he says I'm not allowed to have caffeine on Sundays, and that in a few weeks, no coffee on weekends, and then never again.
I've tried compromising and promising to drink a little less coffee on Sunday, but he says no. I want to clean the house, go hiking and work on my programming. I need to be somewhat functional, not dead exhausted and knocked down with migraines from no caffeine.
He says my addiction is a sign that it's unhealthy, but that doesn't seem like much of a compelling reason that caffeine itself, in moderate doses, is so bad.
Is he right to not allow me to drink coffee? How can I convince him that coffee isn't so bad?
You have marriage problems...not caffeine problems.
Okay...what happens if you give up caffeine. .what does he ban for you next?
Women up...if you are not having medical issues from very low to moderate caffeine intake and it doesn't cause you to have negative behaviors or outcomes. ...tell him to watch his own diet and you'll take care if yours.
Be careful. ..controlling people seldom change....

Allow? ALLOW?
