    why not just have the state control everything you do and don't bother allowing anyone to make their own decisions?https://twitter.com/jillywillydoo/status/801334569328869377 …

    Energy drinks should be treated like alcohol. Buyers must be over the age of 18 to buy. Why not look at the effects of these?

        @jillywillydoo It isn't about controlling what YOU do, it's about restraining those who exploit the vulnerable.

        the addictive & harmful properties of sugar are well known. The state should step in like with alcohol/tobacco @jillywillydoo

        invalid argument. The state isn't stopping anyone from consuming sugar drinks - just taxing them. Money for health - simples.

        What a fine idea @Polyquats The product providers pay the #sugartax to the value of the retail sale. Ingenious!!!

        @jillywillydoo who needs a state when you've got all the buying power you'll ever need?
