        I work in a grocery store in Europe and now that Prime is produced in Poland and it doesnt cost absurdly, I can say that mostly, if not only, kids are the ones drinking it.

        Edit: I just got back to work and checked that my country’s biggest chains only sell Prime Hydration, which is caffeine free.

        That’s as much caffeine as 3 8oz cups of coffee, which doesn’t seem that extreme to me.

        Any large iced coffee from Dunkin has more caffeine.

            Define “child.” A 6 year old? I don’t let my 6 year old drink pop at all. A 16 year old? Not a concern for me.

              You would let your 16 year old chug 3 cups of coffee in one sitting?

                People don’t generally chug an iced coffee. I’d have many, many questions if she did.

                  Okay but the drink in question is the equivalent of drinking 3 coffee cups all in one go.

                  What do you base this on? What tests have you done or read? An opinion is not medical science.

                    Yes I said its an opinion, I made no claim it was medical science. My opinion is that in many cases, a teenager consuming reasonable amounts of caffeine is not something to worry about. I base this off of the knowledge I have of caffeine as someone who isn’t a doctor. If you want a doctor’s opinion, you should go to a doctor instead of the internet.

                    Again you need define “child” here.

                    For adolescents that’s 100-175mg/day, equivalent to 1.5 Monster energy drinks, or a large iced coffee. Per studies, that’s fine for a 12 year old but I wouldn’t want my 12 year old drinking adult beverages with any regularity. I’d rather work on there sleep habits, etc.

                    Worth noting that higher caffeine take is associated with things like poor diet/etc, but not causally linked.
