    I don’t think that’s true anymore. The ban wasn’t formally finalised and was quietly dropped during the pandemic. The store I work at still sells energy drinks to under 16s. We used to have to check, but they changed it and took the warning off our tills.

    ETA: stores can implement their own policies though, if they do wish to age check people buying energy drinks.
