Children in England will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban (禁止) the sale of energy drinks to kids. It is now asking for public suggestions as to what age the ban should start at (16 or 18), the BBC reported.

An energy drink is a type of drink that contains stimulants (興奮劑), such as caffeine (咖啡因). Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.

However, these drinks have very high levels of caffeine. Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250 ml can of Red Bull contains about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca-Cola, the Guardian noted.

Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than normal soft drinks. This may explain why obesity (肥胖) rates have risen among children.

In the UK, more than two-thirds of 10 to 17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to government data. “Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health challenges this country faces. It is important that we do all we can to make sure children have the best start in life,” UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.

The ban would apply to (應(yīng)用于) drinks containing more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell the drinks to children would face fines (罰款) of up to ￡2,500 (22,070 yuan).

1.What is an energy drink?

2.How many fines would shops in England face if they sell energy drinks to kids?

3.Will you go on drinking energy drinks since China doesn’t ban the sale of energy drinks to kids? Why?
