Can this country JUST itself any more? Now I've gotta carry ID to purchase an energy drink

David Perry
Good, that shit fucks with people. Start lifting, you fat sack of shit, maybe then you won't need to rely on energy drinks. And start sleeping. And drink green tea or coffee, there's no fucking reason why any human being needs to drink those death drinks. Suck it up, smarter people know what's better for you than you do.

are you underrage, or a fucking retard, or both?
this is good because kids shouldnt be drinking that shit. i hate a nanny state but i dont see an issue with this
Brandon Martinez
I see no issue with this, also this has been a thing with various news agents for decades
John Gray
Over here "energy drinks" are generally not sold to kids under 15, there's no legislation behind it and this farce exists only to avoid actual legislation and a sea of trouble. I forgot if there were actual problem with hyperactive kids sperging out in school, or if some journalist made it up. It gets funny when you buy a plain sports drink with "energy" in the name and some fucko registered it in the shop's computer as caffinated. Buying caffeine pills though, no problem!
Brayden Myers
so you have no problem remembering to carry your knife everywhere but just can't seem to remember to bring your ID anywhere and you're not underage OR retarded
Tyler Miller
If they're actually concerned about caffeine/sugar why not soda also?
Brandon Baker
Ask yourself if you're a retard. I'm aware it's good for the little fat shits. I'm merely pointing out that you'll have to carry your ID if you're a babyfaced 17 year old.

Based waitrose desu, drinks like red bull and coke are pure shit, the sugar fucks your teeth and your metabolism, the caffeine just makes you edgy. Adults who drink them are retarded and children shouldn't have them.
Aiden Wood
Good. Don't want to send your kids to a school of youths hopped up on caffeine and refined sugars. They need to be docile.

I'm fine with it. Teenagers lose their shit over those things. I remember in high school there was that one clique that pounded Monster all day and had some weird culture where they kept trying to one up each other on drinking the most monster and sleeping the least.
Christian Miller
Less hyped up little niggers running around stabbing and causing misery is a good thing.
Elijah Moore
They're saving your life OP. Energy drinks are pretty bad for your heart.
Isaac White
Finally one person gets the point of this thread while the rest are too stupid to see that I'm merely making an hypothetical scenario as if I'm a babyfaced 18 year old with no ID.
Thank you for being a wise American.
Benjamin Robinson
In my country, kids have been passing out from overuse of energy drinks so much that when an ambulance crew arrives on a passed out teenager, their first question is did he/she consume any energy drink. You drink two cans of Monster every day, you go and play football, and one day your heart can't take the strain anymore and gives out. Kids had to be resuscitated, and I'm not even kidding. One or two got stuck in a coma for months and when they came out, they had a defibrilator installed in their chest.
Aaron Sanchez
>drinking energy drinks
why?
Josiah Hill
Here in Germany there is no minimum age for energy drinks - even a 5 year old could, in theory, ask his parents for money and buy double his weight of coffeine-containing beverages.
But a few things have to be mentioned: > In Germany there are very strict regulations concerning the ingredients of food and drinks. For example, energy drinks have a way lower concentration of caffeine than the same brand's drink has in the USA or Great Britain. > Although there is no law that restricts certain age groups of buying foods and drinks with ingredients like caffeine, if the seller (what's that job called?) doesn't want to sell you something because he thinks it could be harmful to someone your age, he has the right to do that. > After in the USA a girl died from Monster Energy overdose, debates started whether or not energy drinks should be distributed only for people aged 16 or higher. Though those debated dies quickly, there always is a chance of media creating new scandals...

Energy drinks are just caffeine and sugar, neither of which are unhealthy by itself.

Juan Green
> Now I've gotta carry ID to purchase an energy drink
Energy drink? You mean soda pop, full of sugar, artificial dyes, and caffeine?
Man up, stop drinking that shit and drink coffee. Black. No Sugar. No dairy.
Coffee is a super drink. Full of good stuff and a kick of caffeine. It's cheap. It's available everywhere in the world. It's actually has health benefits. You can go anywhere humans inhabit the earth, ask for a cup of coffee and get one.
It's social too, people drink coffee and talk to each other. Rather than chugging a Mountain Dew and getting back to Clash of Clans.
Asher Powell
Carded for cigarettes 37 years old
Zachary Bell
Wrong. They also have shit like taurine and guarana that's supposed to amplify the affects of the caffeine. Is this unhealthy? Probably only if you have a heart condition. Are teens fucking stupid and will drink them in excess until they're unhealthy? Yes they are and will. That being said they stupid shits should be allowed to buy them and kill themselves with them because it's just natural selection at that point.
Noah Perez

It's about the size of a pacemaker. But you don't want that in you when you're 19.

I actually support this, these drinks are toxic to our children and they are fucking them up in school. It's enabling this pill popping culture of "OOOOOOOOH YOU NEED RITALIN LITTLE GOY, YOU HAVE ADHD". It's like "no" the little shit just likes fizzy drinks.
If you are against this then you enjoy nigger dicks. Simple as that really.

Michael Bennett
It's pragmatic. If someone does stupid shit at 15 that's an indicator they're going to be doing stupid shit at 30. They're a burden to society because it's a behavior trait. Don't get me wrong, I not dumb enough to think energy drinks are a "gateway drug" but drinking them in excess that people think it's a health concern is a behavioral red flag.

People are victims of their vices. Sometimes you do need the state to guide you right so you don't become a total degenerate.
As someone who had been ADDICTED to drinking Monster since I was about 15 (drinking it more carefully since about 11) and only got rid of it a year ago (now 22), I think it's a good thing that teenagers don't get into this shit not knowing what they're doing.

who cares. Quit the caffeine Jew and in a few months you will feel much better. Then if you really need it a soda will do more than your heart attack drink. Hitler would have limited them to wartime use only.

In order to solve peoples problems you need control user. Its in the nature of government to want control of everything.
Its also its in nature to fuck everything up. Which is why we need to chop it apart and keep it as small as possible.
