I think it is a very good idea, because there is nothing healthy about them, they can be very damaging.

My grandchildren only drink milk or water.

I don't think that's the point of them - they're supposed to be a stimulant rather than a health food.

they can be very damaging.

True of an awful lot of unbanned stuff, though.

Too much caffeine can be very harmful to children, it can cause them to be over stimulated and badly behaved.

That's weird. I though the sale of energy drinks to children was already banned. At least, when I go through the self service queue at Morrisons with my Red Bull, I have to get authorisation much like with alcohol.

Could they have a voluntary policy?

More turning young adults back into children. In all fairness Labour would probably ban selling these products to the under twenty fours.

It must be.

It must be.
