stimulation drinks not suitable for under 16s?

[tali1]

stimulation drinks containing caffiene like red bull and various are they not suitable for under 16s?
if they are not , how come none of them state a warning on the cans??

Because that is only some experts opinion. Labeling 'unsuitable for under 16s, pregnant women and those allergic or intolerant to caffeine' is being recommended.

But it takes time - if expert opinion weighs in favour of no risk then there will be no such warnings.

Don't forget it is the caffeine that is the stimulant, and drinking coffee in quantitiy can be dangerous:

I work at CoOp and we don't/won't sell Red Bulls to anyone under 12. Not sure whether that's just our policy or the law though. And there are warnings on the cans.
