Energy drinks to be banned for under-16s in England from April

Starting next April, England will ban the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to those under 16 years old in a bid to protect young people from the potential health risks associated with excessive caffeine consumption. This move underscores growing concerns about the impact of high-caffeine beverages on adolescent health, including increased heart rates, sleep disturbances, and anxiety. While soft drinks with lower caffeine levels will remain available, this policy aims to curb the consumption of potentially harmful energy drinks among minors.
