Kids and caffeine?

I stopped at a grocery store this morning and there were a couple dozen teens in line getting coffee, lattes and other caffeinated drinks. Does that seem ok to you guys??

We live in Seattle dude! First it's Starbucks then Heroin, it's a gateway drug. That's why we have the big needle down town.

I don't see a problem with it.

why is there any thing wrong with that? i drink a couple cups of coffee and a mtn. dew a day

Id hold that just about anything in moderation is OK.

Now drinking a couple super duper huge Wireds or Rock Stars a day...probably not so good.

How old of kids...., I know my sixteen year old buys those kinds of drinks form time to time..., I guess as long as he is not doing caffine induced back flips off the garage I am ok with it...., if they were 5 year olds whole different deal.

If its one or two coffees, prob not a big deal. There is a guy I work with that really makes me wonder. He always complains about how he can't do very strenuous activities because he has some rare heart condition. But...He smokes a pack and a half a day and he he averages prob 15 cups of coffee a day (I know this is fact cuz he's always jacking my sugar packets)

My Nephew is actually given a cup of coffee at school to control his ADHD

I know some young kids that drink Mtn Dew and nothing else, you hand them a glass of clean pure water and they'd go "eww whats that, yuck"

hand em a glass of organic milk and they'd wrinkle their nose at it too

no wonder why we have so much diabetes?

Thats alot better than being behind some old warehouse waiting for a bag of crack or something else. A cup of coffe is far from the worst thing kids can do today.

worse than the caffiene in those drinks are the calories. Lots of young fatties hangin around those places these days.

Many/most dont realize their little gee-wiz super minty caffe' whipped vanilla chocoblast with whipped cream blended "coffee" drink can have upwards of 600 calories in a large size....
