Look, I’m no expert, and I’m not saying caffeine is as bad as cigarettes, but I’m sure neither of us has a full understanding of the brain, or caffeine’s effects upon it. How about admitting you might not know enough to make an informed decision, and let those who do know more work it out?

Ok fair, I can admit looking at your comment my argument was flawed, I still think though that people of all ages should be able drink whatever caffeine based drink they want as long as it isn’t strong enough to kill you which energy drinks arnt, most countries do not have this restriction to my knowledge and I think this use of “public health” and the idea we need to curtail people’s freedoms to save NHS money is wrong and that there are more important mismanagement of government funds that needs to be looked at
