What was it before then? Was there really no age limit on energy drinks?
In Sweden at least (can’t say for other countries) there has been a recommendation to not sell to anyone below 15 for 2 decades now, which most major supermarkets follow.

I wonder if they will ban coffee too since it has higher caffeine content than the amount in energy drinks.

I live near a grade school here in California and it’s pretty disturbing how many kids i see on the way to school drinking large energy drinks.

Poland has under 18 ban for energy drinks for 2 years now. Every energy drink with amount of coffeine of more than 15 ml/100g can’t be sold to underaged person. At the same time producers introduced the energy drinks with 14 ml/100g, and obviously, those are allowed for the underaged people.

So you need the clerk to look at you and push an extra button for “okay” even if it’s a self-checkout. Very annoying.

In Lithuania, AFAIK, you need to be 18 to buy energy drinks (20 to buy alcohol).

In Romania it’s been a thing for a while and I’ve seen a lot of angry kids being denied Prime and Monster at the store

What is the harm of caffeine?
The most dangerous in energy drinks is sugar

Strange, this has been up for an hour and there has been no flood of posts about “how will you enforce it” unlike the spectacle that occurs in threads concerning bans on social media.

Once again, I will die on this hill. Barring anything seriously unhealthy, like alcohol, a kids diet is their parents business. A parent should have the right to decide if their kid can drink energy drinks on the weekend or after school, just the same as they should have the right to deny their kid energy drinks. Energy drinks, when consumed in moderation, is not very unhealthy at all, and it is not the states business to decide how a parent should raise their child. Besides, I believe a 15 year old is perfectly capable of deciding wether or not to drink an energy drink for themselves.

It makes sense.
I do drink quite a bit (well, depends on the perspective, like a couple a week at most) but they are not ideal for kids. I think even in the cans there is usually a warning not recommending it for young people.

Geezers ban anything they find scary.
