00:00Okay, energy drink really. I'm a mum, I don't allow my kids energy drink, mainly because
00:06of the hypeness that they get after drinking it. But I think everyone like, everyone of
00:11us are like individual, we can make our own choices.
00:15I think it would depend on why they're drinking the energy drink. If they're just drinking
00:22it because it's fashionable, then yes, ban it. If they're drinking it for medicinal reasons,
00:28like they need the caffeine or whatever that they're suffering from, then they should be
00:33able to take it.
00:35So in effect, they're probably unnecessary, but it's sort of like, they drink it because
00:39of marketing, because of pressure, because their peers do. So it's probably not really
00:42necessary. So I probably would support a little bit of that. But at the same time, people get
00:46up in arms about having a lack of freedom of choice and speech. So you have to temper
00:51that as well, I guess, really. But yeah, I don't think that necessarily, necessarily
00:54kids under 16 need as much access as they think they do, perhaps.
