No more energy drinks for you!!

The government has issued a mandatory ban on energy drinks for under-16s.High caffeine drinks have a far-reaching effect on your heart beat and blood pressure. But many children think that these high-caffeine energy drinks are just normal soft drinks.

These drinks are even known to decrease children’s behaviour. Many stores, including Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Morrisons, have complied with the ban.

The government has also urged schools across the UK to remove energy drinks from the school premises.
