Banning Energy Drinks at Schools

At colleges and universities, energy drinks are study essentials, especially at exam times. However, in many grade schools, energy drinks are banned:

“…school officials across the country aren’t as buzzed about caffeinated energy drinks as some of their students. They’re worried about young people gulping down too much caffeine—and getting so hyper that they lose focus on their studies.”

There can be little doubt that, where such rules are set in place, students will find creative ways to have access to these drinks. How can the schools ever enforce such regulations? Ironically, this seems more a question of education and personal responsibility rather than setting rules that are difficult, if not impossible, to enforce.
