It is a very common question to hear these days, with several schools/universities changing meal plans by eliminating soda, candy, and high-calorie snacks. Should energy drinks be taken out as well? Certain energy drinks are extremely high in calories and sugar. I do agree that high calorie/sugar drinks should be removed from schools. If America is trying to low the level of childhood obesity selling high calorie "popular" energy drinks is not going to help!
However, the Red-Bull company has recognized the desire for people enjoy low calorie drinks OTHER than water... So, they invented Sugar-Free Red Bull. This drink as opposed to many others energy drinks such as Rock Star contains only 10 calories per serving(per can). I do feel that high school, middle school, and elementary school children should not be exposed to such drinks.
Drinks such as Sugar-Free Red Bull should be kept in Universities and Colleges because of the long nights and early morning starts they encounter week after week. High school, middle school, and elementary school students do not put in the same amount of work hours as college students. They have shorter days, and therefore naturally sleep more hours than the normal college student. In conclusion, I feel only low-calorie energy drinks such as Sugar- Free Red Bull should be sold at Universities and Colleges!

Living your College life with Sugar-free Red Bull
Why Red Bull?
Adapting to the many changes in a college setting is a difficult task. As a college student you are forced to put in long hours outside of the class room: studying and doing homework are just a few examples. Having classes as early as 8am can be tiring especially when you do not received the recommend 8 hours of sleep during the night, but adding a sugar-free Red Bull to your diet can make all the difference! The sugar-free red bull as opposed to the regular only contains 10 calories per can. This prevents you from consuming unneeded calories into your diet. Red Bull is made with taurie to give you energry. At times of extreme physical exertion, the body no longer produces the required amounts of taurine, and a relative deficiency results. Taurine acts as a metabolic transmitter and additionally has a detoxifying effect and strengthens cardiac contractility. This in return allows the body to gain energy.
As a regular sugar-free Red Bull drinker I can say that I have seen personal results in the amount of energy my body has on and off of Red-Bull. Instead of feeling drained and tired late at night when I’m working on a project Red-Bull gives me the advantage of staying focused and working more diligently! Also, during my early 8am and 9am classes unlike most students I feel awake and energized. This gives me the benefit of being an active participant in class. I wouldn’t give up Red-Bull if I had to :)
