Advances in analytical instruments have led to cocaine (and many other forbidden substances) becoming detectable in a number of curious places, such as all U.S. currency. The sane question to ask is no longer whether, but how much.
Yup. From the article:

> According to this analysis, the 0.13 micrograms of cocaine per can of the drink does not pose a serious health threat — you'd have to drink 12,000 liters of Red Bull Cola for negative affects to be felt — but it was enough to cause concern.

Not enough to concern me (not that I'm enough of an asshole to drink this garbage in the first place).

The taurine would have long killed you by this point.
12,000 liters of Red Bull Cola seems to be a bigger threat than one snort of cocaine to me.
