man! im pretty shocked when i see little kids come to my trails with a 4pk of beer can sized energy drinks,these kids are gonna grow up an develope diabetes if they carry on like this, i try an educate em that water an bannanas an stuff like flap'jacks would be much much better but,i guess the mass marketing advertising an logo placement is too much for the easily infuenced to ignore

i know that these corperations put a lot back into sports but,i just think they should come with a health warning kinda like cigerette packets

opinions??????

EDIT ON 9-12-09 i have since learnt that the long held belief that over consumption of suger is linked to developing diabetese was disproven in 2006,i was part of a generation that was taught the opposite(around 18yrs ago in phys ed),if you read the whole of this thread you'l see why i'm posting this edit
i gotta point out that the rest of my concerns still stand
DISSCLAIMER this was intended as a light hearted thread from a day at my trails but, has since turned into quite the debate!!

all you can do is inform. it's their responsibility after that... you tell any 12 year old kid not to do some thing, and they wanna do it even more. they're kids, they're dumb.

i drank 2 relentless energy drinks as after i opened one i realised the other had a hole in it and i didnt wanna waste it,i honestly thought i was gonna have a heart attack,granted my age might not help but bugger theres gonna be a lot of failed law suites in a few years.

i drink nothing but water now,and the odd chocolate milk shake for a perp.

some people suffer from exhaustion or there completely knackered,if you drink energy drinks for the sake of it then your body has no time to rest.

at 13 i needed no such thing as energy drinks,i was like a kangaroo on whizzzzzz i never stopped.

drop the energy drinks drink more watwer and get out more.
