Thumbs down

oh my !!

the "energy" drinks are already spiking so many teens already without the added blast of the alcohol

I dont think we actually comprehend just how the "energy" drink phenomenon is real impacting teen and young adult behavior and overall health.

Kids in highschool & college knockin' 'em back from early morning till late night and on this rollercoaster of high and crash. so very unhealthy nomatter how they market themselves IMHO

we should probably move this out for discussion.

lil'monkey is 13. i see kids younger than her buying these "regular" energy drinks at the convenience store before school.

what's worse..is the parents who push them on little kids before sports.
