Should energy drinks be banned for adolescents?

For today's essay brainstorming, I decided to plan an essay based on 'should energy drinks be banned for people under the age of 16?'. 

This is a topic that's been popular in New Zealand after Countdown banned the sale of energy drinks to all people under this age. I argued for this idea. 



Some reasons why I am against energy drinks:

  • Health is not benefited, there are only disadvantages
  • Unhealthy and barely effective
  • Addictive and costs a lot of money
  • There are many better alternatives to energy drinks
  • High levels of sodium

Strongest ideas (1 being the strongest, 3 being the least strongest)
1. Many health disadvantages/side effects of consuming energy drinks
- Rapid heartbeat, insomnia, nervousness, irritability, increased blood pressure etc.
2. Expensive and addictive
- The ingredient caffeine found in energy drinks has a tendency to cause withdrawal symptoms
such as anxiety and panic attacks in some frequent users.
Caffeine is addictive and harmful if consumed too much.
3. There are much better alternatives to energy drinks
  - Getting the right amount of sleep improves your general well being and replaces the need for
energy drinks enormously.
