Connecticut bill would ban energy drink sales to minors

March 5, 2020

Students and parents recently voiced support during a committee hearing for a bill to ban the sale of energy drinks to persons under the age of 16, according to a Hartford Courant report.

The bill would require young customers to present valid identification to buy energy drinks, beginning in 2021.

A survey of almost 400 parents in around 50 Connecticut towns found that 96% would be upset to learn their child consumed an energy drink.
