Australian concerns about energy drink consumption by children:
“According to the ACA [Australian Consumer Association] most adults can safely consume 300mg of caffeine a day but children are advised to stay away from caffeine as they can experience disturbed sleep patterns, bed-wetting and anxiety. Most energy drinks carry labels warning they are not suitable for children.”
In the UK there is a code of practice, drawn up in 1994, around vending machines in schools which mentions decaffeinated coffee but makes no mention of energy drinks at the moment. The British Soft Drinks Association also have a web page setting out their position on vending machines in schools.
