Skimming Parents last night (yesterday was Oprah, today Parents), I came upon a chart suggesting with suggested alternatives to caffeinated drinks “preteens” often go for. A lot of the bad drinks listed made sense–a whole variety of sodas, Snapple–which children go for all the time, especially since they are everywhere (including at school). But also Red Bull. Are there really a lot of 11 and 12 year olds addicted to Red Bull? (Well, other than as a chaser, in which case, these kids have bigger problems than a caffeine addiction. And yes, obvious many kids have worst problems. Still had me wondering for a second.)
