Okay let me put my perspective. I have slowed my rope on a lot of sugary beverages.
I have tried a variety of them and I used to drink them 2 or 3 times a week. I have had extremes of drinking 8 in a day, to having a redline after a 5 hour energy. But I can tell you these drinks are destructive. The day I had 8 NOS energy drinks, I couldn't close my eyes without seeing hallucinations, I had heart palpitations and my body was running a fever of 102. Redlines, are energy drinks so powerful that they can only be purchased over 18, those with a 5 hour can cause stomach ulcers (didn't know that at the time till I had them)
Now as some of you have stated the warning labels are clear indications of safety, but most people don't realize that the Cross symbol that has been added to energy drinks as a further warning as well as secrecy. The in some cases can not reveal how strong an energy drink is because they know what can happen to people who have them. That being said the warning will be the shutout tool for any legislation, if anyone is responsible it is the parents who allow those drinks or the people who are irresponsible with them. I got lucky and learned. A lot of people my age haven't learned yet.
