      It’s not only much cheaper to not have a caffeine addiction, but it also I think makes me much more present as I don’t need caffeine in the mornings to function, and I get enough sleep. Just seems better to me.

        No time for sleep when you either

        1. Need to work till 17:00 and then also do need to do even more when you’re home

        Or

        1. Party the whole night

      imagine if this whole thing was about cigarettes. id imagine people would be questioning why it wasnt age restricted sooner. caffeine and nicotine are practically the same type of addiction, but one of them is legal for almost anybody to get and the other is getting banned more and more

          Only those energy drinks that have artificially added caffeine or taurine are going to have their sales restricted to those over 18.

          When I was a teenager, we were shotgunning beers and smoking hash. A lot worse than a few energy drinks a month.

          When I was a teenager, I started drinking coffee before I went to school. Everyone was still half asleep and I couldn’t sit still as coffee was my energy drink. I regret it now because I need more caffeine to wake up.

          not having caffeine for a few days gives withdrawal effects same as nicotine withdrawal effects (not exactly the same, but same idea if you get what im trying to convey)
