Energy drink ban: College links beverages to alcohol abuse, high-risk sex
Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar and brands of sugary energy drinks will stop being sold on the campus of Vermont's Middlebury College based on its announcement last week. Its ban will start on March 7, Monday. The new policy is based on one student who argued that the caffeinated drinks encourage a culture of stress and bad study habits, while the school's officials have argued the high-caffeine drinks have been linked to alcohol abuse and high-risk sex.
