Ald. Ed Burke proposes energy drink ban for Chicago


Jan 18, 2013 10:04 a.m.


A Chicago alderman wants to ban the sale of energy drinks in the city. Ald. Ed Burke said drinks like Red Bull, Monster and Five Hour Energy are dangerous for teens and young adults.

The ordinance Burke proposes calls for a $100-$500 fine for each offense. Burke not only wants to ban their sale in Chicago, but their distribution as well.

Industry tracker Beverage Digest indicates energy drinks sales grew 17% in 2011, the latest year such statistics are available.

A federal survey, released this month, indicates that from 2007 to 2011 the number of emergency room visits involving energy drinks rose from about 10,000 to more than 20,000.

The FDA recently published an article claiming that at least 5 deaths since 2009 can be attributed to Monster Energy Drink.

Beverage manufacturers say the statistics are misleading and taken out of context.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Energy drinks are not needed and are so terrible for you. I don't drink soda, coffee or, energy drinks shit I don't even intake added sugar. Yet I still manage to get up at 4:50am and exercise for an hour. Our country's population will benefit dramatically from energy drinks being banned

You could say the same thing for beer, McDonald's, sex, diesel trucks or anything else that we enjoy. The point is that this is supposed to be a free country. If I want to kill myself on Monster, who cares? I'm not hurting anyone else. Just like seat belt laws and helmet laws.

I'm drinking one right now :) Is it bad for me? I'm sure. So is those 15 beers I had last night as well. Everything is bad for you I say. Hell every time I turn on the news there's always a 'new study' pointing out how things can kill you.

I remember once I drank seven of them in one day. Definitely did not like the feeling. Do I drink them for the 'energy'? Sometimes. However sometimes I just like how they taste. I think people are getting too carried away with this banning crap. There are worse things out there.

You Canadians have whatever laws you have but here, as long as the domocrats are in power, you don't need to think. They will tell you what to think. Isn't that SOOOO much easier?

It's not America's fault we're obese. It's each individuals fault. They make the poor choices and don't do the research required to be healthy. It's the individuals decision to drink the energy drink. They're not forced too. I can bet deaths from underaged drinking are way higher than than that of kids drinking energy drinks. Yet underaged drinking is 'banned'.

Have you ever try pulling a 36 hour shift and not falling asleep bc you may die or get someone else killed. Btw over here thats what we live off actually worse then redbull we have Pitbull, Rip its, and these coffee drinks that have more caffeine then american stuff in some cases 5 deaths isn't really that bad compared to one of us falling asleep and being overrun and killing oh i will say about 100 personnel. This isn't a personnel attack just a fyi in some cases caffeine is a must. how about we enforce the laws we already have. Kind of like get out of debt before spending more.:thumb:

Beg to differ. They might not be needed for most people however my current job (USMC DI) we go solid for three months straight with pushing our bodies to the point where you fall asleep standing up. Typical work days start at 0400 to get up shave and shower and be on deck 15 minutes prior to when they turn the lights on and between physical training and the rest of our work we don't go to bed till well after midnight. First couple nights we have the new recruits we stay up 22 hours a day. 7days a week non stop every day till they graduate. We drink energy drinks like water. Sometimes to the point of not even feeling them. It's my body I can put what I want into it and besides rock star taste good lol. They are gettin to ban happy other things will kill you also.

Bye it's not McDonalds fault parents can't say no to a child.

There is nothing you can breathe, eat, or drink that won't give you cancer and kill you. When it's your time, it's your time.
