Buying red bull in Amsterdam

Hi all
I’m travelling to Europe for work and want to buy red bull - is it for sale in Amsterdam? If so where?

Last holiday I had a migraine because I didn’t have any, if this happens again do you think I could use coffee as a substitute?

Also just wondering if you think I could bring it on the plane with me or would that cause problems? I’ll be flying from Australia, probably via the Middle East.
Thank you!

Red Bull is readily available throughout Europe. The company is headquartered in Salzburg. I have never visited a place in Europe where I was not able to find it in a grocery store or corner market (including Amsterdam).

In the country of Max Verstappen hard to imagine you can't buy it here. In other words you don't have to worry.

Your headache is from caffeine withdrawal so yes coffee would help as well as any other high caffeine drink like black tea or coke. But as others have stated, Red Bull or other energy drinks should be readily available.

No special exemption for caffeine addicts allowing you to take liquids on the aircraft. You can get caffeine in pill or gum form as well.

You can get Red Bull at every Albert Heijn and probably any convenience store in the city. I have the same problem. :| Just ask for coffee on the plane.

You could also buy caffinated drinks in the terminals after clearing security to take onto the plane.

Red Bull is a European product and is more popular than Coca Cola in many places...
