    Might be easier to just limit the caffeine max per can.

    I feel like teenagers will drink X cans per night regardless, so its easier harm reduction to reduce the caffer per drink then try to remove the drinls from teens all together.

      That’s not true. Imagine a hypothetical scenario where the government awarded an extra dollar in tax benefits to any company that was able to keep caffeine within a certain range. You can literally guarantee every drink manufacturer would refactor their operations overnight.

      This is not a “can’t be done” scenario, this is we don’t want to because we’re profiting from it scenario.
