It would be sweet to have ausfailia bethe testing grounds for blak market energy drinks with a*******ine and god knows what goodies the asians will pack in.

if the ban is retarded it will be beneficial to the recipient and harmful to the instigator

If they banned energy drinks, couldn’t you just get around it by called it “high caffeine soda?” Or would they lower the legal caffeine content and ban using traditional energy drinks ingredients? That’d screw a lot of companies over, especially Starbucks because they have some really caffeinated drinks.

Anything in history that has been banned will always have a black market. Energy drinks are no exception.

As Paul Rudd said in Role Models, “When someone asks you to try drugs or alcohol just say ‘no thanks, i’ll have a minotaur’ ” they should PUSH the energy drinks maybe as an alternate for alcohol. i understand it wont do much, but for someone just looking to alter their mood it can help.

I just want to know what actually getting them banned will accomplish. Sure, no more teens will be sent to the nurses office for being stupid. The cans say, limit 2 or 3 cans a day (don’t remember which) it’s no one’s fault but the people who drink too many for what happens to them. Same goes for smokers and alcoholics, the warning is there, it’s not the companies problem that people can be stupid.

Australia’s government is like one big PTA: self-righteous, but secretly impotent and lazy. They take on easy targets and sensationalize scapegoats like energy drinks to draw attention from the real problems they’re not fixing.
