    Idk man I fuckin slam coffee. I used to be an actual caffeine addict and now just have a slight problem with caffeine, but I like to think that helped me understand the risks.

    My eldest is really good about moderation in general because her mom was a drug addict as well, so I might have a bit of a different parenting style than many.

      When my cousin was 16 he once drank like 9 energy drinks in a row then threw up and punched a hole in the wall. He was grounded for a week after that. He did it just because he thought it’d be funny. It’s been about 15 years since then and I can’t say I think he learned a lesson from that.

      I’m sure there are some responsible 16 year olds, but I definitely wouldn’t trust the judgement of all of them.
