UK supermarkets ban sales of energy drinks to under-16s

Kinda of a rant, so I went to my local co op like I do every morning for the past 15 years to buy a monster energy, she asked for my ID. They all know am over the age of 16 and is obvious by my various tattoos in pain sight. So I was pretty triggered that she asked for my ID, because I never carry it unless I know am going to need it. Luckily the manager was there and vouched for me, then the person who served me tried to explain to me about how bad energy drinks are and blah blah I was like wtf u talking about and left.

Now its great to see that we get compared to people like this.
"Justin Bartholomew, 25, who took his own life after regularly drinking 15 cans a day. His family believe that the energy drinks heightened his anxiety and helped contribute to his death."

I get that they are bad in large amounts, but what the fuck ins't.
