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.

think correct, these energy drinks malheiros and health problems.

I agree. It really is BS. I think that applies for most situations when a handful of people ruin something for everyone else.

I think I might die. If lucozade is counted in this I think I might just start a revolution.

I get the concept. 16 and under are dumbasses who think they're invincible if we're being real. I wouldn't be surprised if the next internet challenge is to see how many red bulls you can drink in 10 minutes resulting in multiple deaths.

At the same time though, if you're going to ban this, then go all the way and ban anything that may give 16 year olds any kind of energy including soda and coffee.
