I think it could apply to any of them since someone could drink multiple. I think it comes down to whether you are high on caffeine or not, if it's affected someone's driving to the point that it draws attention and gets them pulled over, I guess the police could then insist on you giving a blood sample back at the police station. I think they'd have to have some video evidence of having followed suspect for a reasonable distance before pulling them over and eventually if such a case is pursued to court then that will set a precedence.

The media are getting confused with Prime Hydration (bottled, caffeine free - similar to Lucozade Sport) and Prime Energy (canned, has more caffeine than Monster)Can lead to being fined and points apparently, thought I'd seen something in my phone news feed so just rechecked.

Young drivers are being warned of drinking energy drinks, such as the popular Prime energy drink which has a particularly high caffeine content, when behind the wheel as their awareness and control may be inhibited, increasing the risk of accidents.www.express.co.uk
How can anyone drink Red Bull (aka Chav Bull)? It smells horrible and tastes horrible. I call it Chav Bull as 99% customers who buy it are chavs
Yes, it's the can version of prime that has the caffeine. The bottles are just sugar (sucralose) water

This was created by Paul logan and KSI who I use to follow back in the day..Is anyone else being tortured by their children about this stuff? My kids are convinced their social lives and entire reputations are at stake if they don’t get the latest flavours. I’ve been touring the Spars and Asdas in the local area to try to get some “Ice Pop” and “Meta Moon” to no avail.
A dodgy guy in the local Spar heard my plight and gave me a tip for a place to go. This is what I found…
Only £11 for half a dozen I thought, but none of the flavours the kids wanted. I’ll get them anyway. Guy at the till wanted £66. They were £11 each. I left empty handed.
Another dodgy guy with a can of special brew and every scab on his face picked to the point of bleeding gave me another tip off. So off I went.
Oh look, what great value…
My kids hate me because I’m too tight and don’t realise that I have ruined their lives.
Maybe I could get them into coke instead? It would be cheaper.
KSI in particular has done amazing for his career. Happy for the lad but this drink is not for me though. Each to there own.

I don't drink energy drinks anymore and prefer my espresso that I make from raw beans roasted and then later grinded whenever I fancy a cup a

Ksi has nailed the market and people are lapping it up.

My boy is ten. I am trying to bring him up the right way and that to me involves responsibility. He has his own debit card where we put his Birthday, Christmas and pocket money into. We also live in a village. He came home from school a couple of weeks ago saying the local shop had Prime and could be buy some. I said, yeah of course, as long as it is not too expensive. This is where our ideas of what expensive means differs.
He came back from the shop with his friend and three bottles of Prime and gave me one of them, they had the other two, one each. It was ok, nothing special. They loved it. I then asked him how much he spent.
Thirty six ******* pounds!

That would be the time to take away the card.

We had a chat about money, he is usually quite sensible but the kids are all going on about it at school and he just got caught up in it. He knows it was silly.

Test him - ask if he wants some more bottles. If the answer is no, you win.
I find it incredibly sad people look up to KSI and LP [and the likes]. I get finding them entertaining or whatever but actually essentially worshipping them as role models.......

That's a bit harsh. He's clearly flexing the kid equivalent of the Gucci Belt wearer of these forums

I know right. I liked his early stuff when he went on melt down whenever arsenal played badly. He set the trend way before aftv lmao but I never worship him.
I'm surprised 10 year olds know of him...
His been around for well over 10 years now
Tracy Island was the big one for me. My dad couldn't get it anywhere so we had to make do making one like Blue Peter.

In 1992, repeats of the classic 1960s puppet show Thunderbirds on BBC Two led to an unanticipated surge in demand for Tracy Island play sets in the run-up to...youtu.be
It's nice that it harked back to something from 30 years in the past. Being crafty and spending quality time with family.
Also something that I think is diminished now - the continuity between generations. Watching shows 30-50 years old that your parents also watched.

If you're that wired on caffeine that you're crashing your car, then yeah perhaps you shouldn't be driving, but the popo aren't going to be pulling people over for having an energy drink and then driving lol Do they even have the means to test your caffeine levels ?Can lead to being fined and points apparently, thought I'd seen something in my phone news feed so just rechecked.
