A leading supermarket has said that it's going to stop selling high caffeine energy drinks to kids under 16.

It's because people are worried that there's too much sugar and caffeine in them which isn't healthy for children.

Research has shown that kids in the UK are one of the biggest consumers of energy drinks in Europe.

So what do you think, is it right for supermarkets to ban energy drinks for kids under 16?

Do you drink energy drinks?

Do you think about supermarkets should be allowed to ban energy drinks?

Do you know how much sugar and caffeine are in energy drinks and that they can be unhealthy?

I do not drink energy drinks and don't think they should be sold to children under 16.

I think shops should keep a record of how many times children buy energy drinks a week. They should allow one per week.

They should not be banned as they are a nice treat that gives you all the energy that you need.

I don't think children should drink energy drinks because all the sugar is bad for your teeth.

They aren't good for children as they keep you awake at night and then you are tired for school in the morning.

Children should be able to buy them but they should make a children's version with less sugar and caffeine.

We don't think that the supermarkets should be telling children what they can and can't drink. But we do think that education should be given to children and their parents so that they know the dangers and only drink these types of drinks now and again or in small doses. Could they make the bottles smaller?
