Comment on Under-16s to be banned from buying high-caffeine energy drinks including Monster
tal@lemmy.today 3 days agoHmm. That’s a good point. I wonder if there’s trouble lurking there.
The government proposals will make it illegal to sell high-caffeine energy drinks containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre to anyone under 16 in England.
Aight, so that’s their red line.

A 12-ounce (oz) cup of brewed coffee may contain 113 to 247 milligrams (mg)Trusted Source of caffeine, whereas a smaller 8-ounce cup can contain about 95 to 200 mg.
Hmm. A liter is 2.8 times larger than a 12 fluid ounce cup, so that’d be 318 mg/L to 696 mg/L.
