Caffeine in coffee is not affected. Just as well, as someone told me that Tim Horton's coffee is the most highly caffeinated coffee of all the places people get their morning joe! (So maybe the unfathomable addiction. That or they line their cups with coke. One or the other

Oh and you can still buy caffeine pills!
Make mine a double red bull with a couple of pro plus chasers please
-You non-brewed coffee drinking mine of useless information!

Yes, it is limited, but to a level far higher than any of the popular energy drinks currently contain (i.e. carry on as normal!) The limit is over twice that of what is contained in a can of Red Bull.

but it would be almost a cardinal sin for the government to limit caffeine in coke or coffee..

Usually Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has their minds on pretty straight.. usually following the lead of US Food and Drug Administration..
But yeah.. why limit energy drinks, but leave the other drinks which is inundated with even more caffeine?

I think it should be pretty obvious. Kids are abusing Red Bull consumption. It is drug abuse plain and simple. Kids aren't chugging double espressos in night clubs or house parties.

I don't have an opinion because I've never had the pleasure of drinking the stuff before.. but I have been on Coca-Cola before, and Jolt.. and the caffeine definitely makes me wide awake in my younger years, to put in the necessary all nighters for school and work..
I can attest, that caffeine can become relied on artificially.. caffeine itself in high doses, could have a drug like effect..
