While they are it,they should ban coffe as well lol

Who cares what Lithuania does?

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 :1orglaugh

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.

It's a good start

yep great news.too many young ppl use them

Well they putting staff inside which make you addicted.I would be addicted too but energy drink causes me headache/blood pressure,i think i am sensitive on too much coffein/sugar.

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).

Should be banned along with your twinkies fatties

Who cares what Lithuania hopes for.

About time!

People who agree with this measure.

i stopped drinking that shit about 2 years ago

What made you stop? Have you noticed a big difference?

let me guess, nobody for real will check are you over 18 when buying that shat

i seem to have become more sensitive to it and after a night of vodka/red bull i thought my heart would try to bounce its way through my rib cage...

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. :2 cents:

under 18 you shouldnt need an energy drink.

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.

day mix with alcohol all the time..not sure is that healthy at all

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?

That a nice proposition. Good for the start.. :)

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.

People my age (28) are always looking at me like I am nuts for drinking black coffee. Nothing beats a good burr mill grinder and a french press or a good espresso, black as fuck. :1orglaugh

No doubt, yet they are stupid enough and take them.

add red meat (steroids other things)

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.

This is definitely a step in the right direction ...

Back when Redbull/vodka was still a new novelty, I drank 8 of them in a club in Manhattan, and I was truely afraid to go to sleep in my hotel room, as I could feel my heart beating in my chest, and was afraid of having a heart attack ...

Was one of the longest nights of my life ...

I am 110% supportive of controlling access to these drinks!

When i was under 18, i was so energetic.
