Such a sad world we live in. When I grew up, I had a health nut grandmother who advised me on good dietary habits and a erudite father who could explain the long term risks of various behaviours. And I'm in my 20s, so this wasn't that long ago. | ||

Whatever happened to dipping into the parents liquor cabinet (and replacing some of it with water of course) or hanging outside the grocery store and finding the right person to buy you beer and smokes. Teenagers these days.... I miss the days when hot girls would ask me to buy alcohol for them outside the store. Even scored a couple numbers. gg no re kids these days. | ||

I still won't drink them, nastiest hangovers of my life came from loko nights. | ||

Vodka + monster is cheap and one of my favorite "I'm just here to get drunk" drinks.

Post-script: How many adults are addicted to coffee. If you add this to cig smokers, I'm guessing at least 70 percent of pop. And how many of you all are addicted to the computer/computer games. The key is education on how to live normally, and not let the addiction take over your life... as an addict to certain things, I wish I had been taught.............. | ||

I feel it's backwards when energy drinks are accessible, but beer has an age limit of 21 (in the US). Most (European) countries operate with 18 I believe, while some with 16 (on beer). I'm not suggesting you put fines giving energy drinks to 15 year old's, and make it a felony. Just that they are not accessible to 15 year old's to buy in a store. To reduce the binging. No need to enforce anything. | ||

I think forbidding kids under a certain age, or somehow creating some sort of parental consent would be cool. At the very least all schools need to teach about things like energy drinks, eating healthy, and how to not die. Like, not only is it really easy to just eat crappy food because you need it quick, but crappy food tends to be addicting (to a degree). And the more bad food and drink you can take away from kids the better because kids are straight up dumb; they NEED guidance, otherwise they may very well carry shitty eating habits for a long time. Kids don't give a crap if something is bad for them or whatever, they just want to taste delicious fewd. EDIT: To address the guy above me, who has a really good point, just a bit: it's always hard to draw the line on issues concerning food bans (this isn't really a ban, it's just an age restriction) and the like. There are so many crappy drinks out there and you can't really tell parents that their kids can only drink ___ until age ___. However, you can say things like, "thou shan't consumeth any drink that containeth over ___ amount of caffeine/sugar until the age of ___." | ||
