Hello Mr. Jimi Disu,I listened to your news analysis this morning on front page news especially your comment on energy drink. Your analogy, “sucking up battery acid with drinking straw” sounded exaggerated but it drew attention to the inherent danger of mixing a stimulant with a depressant of the central nervous system-that is exactly what mixing energy drink with alcoholic beverage is.
However, I believe that what the regulatory authorities should do but have not done (enough) is enlightenment-letting citizens know that Caffeine-the active ingredient in energy drink, is the most consumed psychoactive (capable of affecting mood and behavior) habit-forming drug as it often produce psychological and physiological dependence. This is the reason we must be careful what we repeatedly do because it may become a habit that we may have to struggle to break. Finally, people should know that the name energy drink is rather deceptive. I am also passionate about this issue and wrote an article on it some time ago.
