Why have energy drinks been banned for under-16s in England? The real question is why it wasn’t done sooner

  Expecting parents to police kids’ intake of a psychoactive drug is unrealistic

  Caffeine is a psychoactive drug that activates the central nervous system.

  I have to say that having someone over for water and crumpets just doesn’t have quite the same ring as tea and crumpets.

    Scotland will not pursue a ban on sales of energy drinks to children and young people, saying there is not enough evidence the policy would be successful.

    I suppose that it’s always possible to journey to the exciting, anything-goes frontier land of Scotland.

      Yeah, but with Farage as PM I do wonder how much longer the current devolution arrangement will even last for.
