Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker wants to ban energy drinks but not coffee

[alexd]

Oh here we go, Councillors wasting more time and therefore money on issues out of their jurisdiction but guaranteed to get them press. Lets ban asteroids from Toronto too FFS.

LOL

 

[ndrwrld]

he wants to restrict sales of energy drinks to people under 18 years of age.
i agree.

 

[Primavera]

does he seriously have nothing better to do then propose ridiculous shit that won't happen?

 

[alexd]

Is coffee banned to people under 18 in Toronto?

 

[djfear]

If I had his last name I would start up a brewery and start posting in Beer Babe's Beer thread.

Next up on the Councillor's agenda: banning asteroids from earth!

 

[KickIT]

Not totally irrelevant. Would you endorse putting Red Bull in vending machines in Toronto schools?

Aren't 90% of the kids on Ritalin or Adderall anyway? What's a little caffeine when most of them are on speed?

 

[basketballjones]

That's a very ignorant and broad stroke of your brush to classify people like that. You might as well say aren't 90% of gay men carrying AIDS.

BTW, I agree that energy drinks like Red Bull and the like do not belong in schools. There's no reason for kids under 18 to be drinking that shit anyways.
