N.J. Takes Candy From Babies

New Jersey Assemblyman Ralph Caputo is is drafting legislation to ban minors from buying energy drinks.

Caputo says he is worried about caffeine’s effect on children. I assume energy drink prohibition for minors will be a lot like alcohol prohibition, with Red Bull speakeasies and armies of Protestant women destroying cases of Monster with axes.

There is no word if Caputo knows children can get the same effect from drinking, say, three cans of soda as they can from drinking a Red Bull. And with how expensive that disgusting stuff is, I have to assume it might even be cheaper.
