My son has become "addicted" to Red Bull and other similar high energy, caffeine drinks. On the back of these cans there is a warning that these levels of caffeine can be harmful to CHILDREN, pregnant women and those sensitive to high levels of caffeine. What defines a child? Surely anyone under the age of 16?
My son has become aggressive and at times violent while "on" such drinks... I say "on" as it is a if he is high on drugs! At the age of 14 I feel it completely wrong that these products are sold to children!
Legislation is required to ban the sale of Red Bull and other similar high energy caffeine drinks to children, all those under 16.
A warning is printed on these products stating that such levels of caffeine can be harmful to children, pregnant women and those sensitive to such high levels of caffeine.
Wouldn't you agree anyone under 16 is considered a child?
