But if you’re drinking one drink that is the equivalent of 3 coffees, then even if you don’t chug it, you’ll still drink it faster than you would typically drink 3 coffees in a row, right? So it’s the equivalent of chugging them in terms of caffeine uptake regardless. Unless they’re taking over an hour to drink one energy drink, which the typical 16 year old isn’t likely to do, it’s like they’re tossing back 3 coffees all in one sitting, something I personally wouldn’t recommend for a 16 year old.
Idk man I fuckin slam coffee. I used to be an actual caffeine addict and now just have a slight problem with caffeine, but I like to think that helped me understand the risks.
My eldest is really good about moderation in general because her mom was a drug addict as well, so I might have a bit of a different parenting style than many.
When my cousin was 16 he once drank like 9 energy drinks in a row then threw up and punched a hole in the wall. He was grounded for a week after that. He did it just because he thought it’d be funny. It’s been about 15 years since then and I can’t say I think he learned a lesson from that.
I’m sure there are some responsible 16 year olds, but I definitely wouldn’t trust the judgement of all of them.
Okay but the drink in question is the equivalent of drinking 3 coffee cups all in one go.
People also do generally not chug energy drinks.
