id prfer a kid dirnking some caffine rather than eating skittles and potatoe chips with their mcdonalds fries and mountain dew..
i have got two nephews both are abot 8... both have cellulite on the stomachs and chests and fatty tissue all over their soft wrinkled upper bodies... its ufucking disgusting that their parents (my sisters) let their young kids eat themselves into this aat such a young age... i fear they have already metabolically destroyed themselves...

Kind of like a 19 year old kid using steroids... :P

We are raising a generation of future coffee addicts. Before Energy Drinks it was Mountain Dew with all the caffiene and sugar. Its only a matter of time before you start finding Starbucks in high schools and elementary schools. For some kids just a little caffiene can help them focus on the homework and whats important. Others bounce off walls. If the kids are fat its most likely the parents to blame.

Maybe that won't be such a bad thing. Maybe high caffeine consumption has a positive effect on fitness and education. ;D
Take Seattle, Washington for example:
"Seattle is the birthplace of grunge music[11] and has a reputation for heavy coffee consumption;[12] coffee companies founded or based in Seattle include Starbucks,[13] Seattle's Best Coffee,[14] and Tully's.[15] There are also many successful independent artisanal espresso roasters and cafes.[12] Researchers at Central Connecticut State University ranked Seattle the most literate city of America's sixty-nine largest cities in 2005 and 2006 and second most literate in 2007.[16] Moreover, analysis conducted in 2004 by the United States Census Bureau of 2002 survey data indicated that Seattle was the most educated large city in the U.S. with 48.8 percent of residents 25 and older having at least bachelor degrees.[17]"

"In 2005, Men's Fitness magazine named Seattle the fittest city in the United States.[161]"

Jan. 6, 2005
SEATTLE - Must be something in the coffee. Seattle has been named the fittest city in the United States in the February issue of Men’s Fitness magazine, leaping past the buff competition from Honolulu, Colorado Springs, San Francisco and Denver.
Exercising faithfully and shunning fast food boosted Seattle to the top from No. 6 last year, Men’s Fitness Editor in Chief Neal Boulton said.
“Eighty-five percent of Seattle residents get some exercise every month, and that’s a really significant thing,” Boulton said. The city’s jittery love affair with espresso might fuel some of that activity, he noted: “There’s not only a lot of it, it’s pretty darn strong.”

What is missing from our education system is a Starbucks in every classroom.

Nah, I was just kidding about the possible link between these. The truth is probably that people who are serious about their education get addicted to caffeine in college after using it to stay up studying and to stay awake in class. Also people who are more active and serious about fitness probably choose coffee shops over restaurants to hang out and talk to friends. I did read somewhere that Seattle has more coffee shops than fast food restaurants or something like that.

Crazy..Here in Florida, a few kids downed Redline before taking the FCAT (A Florida's Standardized Test).
They each chugged down a few. They ended up in Hospital.

So to nullify the effects of the caffeine, did the hospital serve them booze?

Because it gives you expresso levels of caffeine without the bitter taste of coffee, so kids like it. You don't need to a rocket scientists to comprehend this simple concept.

No reason? You're talking about stupid kids abusing caffeine, and you're a stupid kid abusing steroids! Doesn't seem like you're one to be judging anybody does it?

My favorite thing in the world when I was a child was coffee... I drank coffee from a very early age and used to make "coffee milk" all the time with instant coffee when I was young... like 5 or 6 years old. I turned out OK so far....I think. :D
I would worry less about the caffeine and much more about the other substances and stimulants in the energy drinks. Yohimbine, etc. can be taxing on the heart over time, I would imagine...probably not a good idea to promote long-term use starting in children.

Your first post reads like you’re questioning the reason behind the youth energy drink fixation.
Overtly, this last post seems to ask a rhetorical question, but your ulterior motive almost seems to hint towards suggesting a solution.
So does her majesty have any propositions?
Something along the lines of caffeine regulation perhaps?

4 Students Hospitalized After Consuming Energy Drinks
Students Took Drinks Before FCAT Exam
POSTED: 6:10 pm EDT March 12, 2008
UPDATED: 10:13 am EDT March 13, 2008
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. -- Four students from the same South Florida school were rushed to the hospital after consuming energy drinks.
It happened on the same day that many students took their FCAT exams.
Three 14-year-old students and a 13-year-old from Pembroke Pines were recovering at Memorial Hospital West.
According to a father of one of the children, the students drank Redline Energy Drinks to help them be more alert for the FCAT.
The four male students in the eighth grade at Falcon Cove Middle School in Weston had to be rushed to the hospital.
"Increased heart rate, sweating, lightheadedness," said Broward County Sheriff's Fire Rescue representative Mike Jachles. "All four male students were transported to Memorial Regional Hospital."
A parent said he's upset that the drinks are available to young children.
"I'm very worried about that," said Harold Rivera.
Rivera said he was frightened to see his 14-year-old son in the emergency room, shaking with bloodshot eyes. He said he questioned his son on why he would take such a potent drink.
"He said, 'I want to clear my mind and energy on the test,'" Rivera said.
Rivera said his son could have died.
Redline is a heavily caffeinated drink that includes several warnings on the bottle, including, "Not Intended For Anyone Under The Age Of 18 Years."
Rivera said there should be stricter guidelines.
"Why sell that product? Why is it easy for that age of child to find that in the store?" he asked. "I told my son, 'Did you read that?' He said, 'No, I didn't read anything.'"
A representative for the Broward County School District said energy drinks aren't permitted on school grounds. He said the district is learning from lessons like this one.
All four children were expected to be OK and released from the hospital late Wednesday.

Here's the info on REDLINE. It kind of scares me. :-\
Just recently VPX launched the technology of fat burning and energy enhancement into a new era with the introduction of Redline®. This freaky scientific breakthrough is the first physique-transforming matrix to coax your body to burn fat through the “shivering response.” It is a physiological fact that when you shiver, your body releases a large amount of stored body fat in an attempt to bring body temperature back to normal. Redline® induces this effect quite efficiently. However, the power of Redline® does not stop there, as its radical combination of novel ingredients will also have you sweating up a thermogenic storm, and thus burning fat through yet another unique mechanism. With this 1-2 fat melting punch, Redline® has rendered fat burners of the past obsolete! When it comes to energy, Redline® will “amp” you to the max within minutes, ready to tear apart the weights and wear out the treadmill like a tiger released from its cage!
Proprietary Blend
Vitamin C
Caffeine Anyhdrous
Evoburn
N-acetyl-L-tyrosine
Yerbe Mate
Green Tea
5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan
Potassium 1
Vinpocetine
Yohimbine HCL
And then it says this:

Actually, I wasn't consciously going down that road. However, considering that kids (the ones I’ve heard directly from) are drinking 2 – 3 a day, one can’t help but wonder what effect that is having on their development. A basic cola or Mountain Dew has something like 35mg of caffeine per, whereas something like Monster has over 150mg per and Redline is off the charts. Some of the clueless mothers out there I've spoke with say "at least they're not drinking all those sugary sodas" ::) Kids can't walk into a gas station and buy any of those energy tabs in those locked plastic cases (ie; NoDoz). Maybe there should be some regulatory intervention :-\

I’d thought about that. I’m usually steadfast against more regulation of anything. In this case, though, I feel that intervention is necessary; I simply don’t want to see it come from someplace like the government.
An age limit on purchasing products containing anything over a certain amount of caffeine may help some, but many 11-13 year olds are not the ones doing the household grocery shopping for the week. And a legal age limit on caffeine consumption is impractical because it is already in so many foods and drinks.
Then again, a posted age limit may alert parents as to the detrimental effects that excessive caffeine can have on young kids - or maybe I’m just naïve.
I don’t know what the answer is. All I do know is I don’t want some kind of policy that will force me to jump through the same hoops to get caffeine as when I have to purchase my damn Bronkaid.

We used to own a Gas Station. In fact we were the first in the area to start selling Redline. (then again we also had a blender and sold Protein Shakes)
Anyways, we used to asked for ID when ever anyone bought Redline.
I think the disclaimer needs to be in larger print.
