Ed, I just read the small article on page 7 in the April 15 Trentonian about underage energy drink restrictions. I think that is pure garbage! Has caffeine ever killed anybody? No! If they saw the news report about drinks like Monster and Red Bull, they’d understand that those drinks don’t harm us if we drink like one or two cans a day. I bet Caputo is saying that because his body can’t handle it!
