        I know, right? Kids are hooked on that shit. My kid is 13 and she is hooked on Starbucks like crack.

        I don't drink coffee so I just so do not get it.

          You are too dumb to see the whole picture, as usual

          Specially for you:

          Country Hopes Other EU Nations Will Follow Its Lead

          I bet that this will start rolling, slowly but will start.

            Agreed definition of energy drink is 150+mg caffeine.
            Coffee has up to 60mg.

            Most importantly kids are being hooked on those energy drinks like lemondade/soda. They cause health issues.

                    That is why it is a great measure that will save thousands of lives in the long run. Like you said - it is so bad that you even feel it instantly. Not everybody feels that much, but bad stuff is there and it is fucking with your heart in a major way.

                      Also,i am quite sure how there are natural things which give you same if not better energy boost,like green tea and various spices,but that is not so tasty i guess.

                        Yes,i actually heard one story from one dude which were studying all night and drinking tons of red bulls so he had some sort of heart attack and had to go to ER.Luckily i never had such big problem.
                        Still,i think they are not problem unless you consume them in big quantity(or you have sensitivity like me).

                                          Energy drinks are bad news for heart. Energy drinks + alcohol is even much worse.
                                          When I see people drinking alcohol + energy drink I think - how is it possible that people damage their body/heart/health volunteraly .. Crazy.

                                            Depends on how strict would be the fines.

                                                I don't drink coffee so I just so do not get it.
                                                starbucks is mainly sweet coffee, friendly for taste buds of kids. Brilliant biz model, get them hooked at a young age this way.
                                                Kids would never take a normal cup of coffee.

                                                    Only "not sure"? Where is your brain? Of course it is highly unhealthy. And "all the time", "day mix" - how people can be so stupid?

                                                        Nobody will follow one way or another.For example,Denmark banned trans-fat and they even got good results,apparently is 70% less of people which dies of heart problems. But dont see anyone else doing same and they doing that from 2003.

                                                          Kids would never take a normal cup of coffee.

                                                                It's important that some people tell other people what they can and can't do with their own bodies and lives. VERY important.

                                                                Also just looked up the "Grande" cup of brewed coffee at Starbucks: 330 MG of caffeine.

                                                                Fucking people trying to run other people's lives. It makes me sick.
