From the post:

>The British government on Wednesday outlined plans to ban the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children, joining a number of other European countries in a move that it said could cut obesity, reduce anxiety and improve classroom concentration. The proposed restriction would apply to anyone under 16, the Department of Health said in a statement that began a formal 12-week consultation period with industry leaders and health experts. The measure would need parliamentary approval, which is widely expected and unlikely to require a vote.
