They support Challenge 25. "If you're lucky enough to look under 25, you will be asked to prove your age". We looked in to this after a guest, 22, was asked for ID to buy energy drinks at Butlins, Skegness, in July. "I was "ideed" to buy two energy drinks." They said. They were quite shocked by this, as the guest had never been asked for ID before, when buying energy drinks. "It's not alcohol, so I don't see the problem", The guest added.
We thought other resorts within the Bourne Leisure umbrella may enforce this policy... So we asked Haven Holidays, and a member of their Social Media team told us, "Haven do not sell energy drinks to under 16's" This means it clearly isn't the same.
These drinks are classed as stimulants, and many adults object to children, or young people drinking them. They are loaded with caffeine, sugar, and empty calories.
Haven and Butlins do not sell them to people under the specified ages respectively for the safety of children. The drinks can harm them in many ways. It is important that children do not consume energy drinks. We are starting a petition to get them made illegal to under 18, and for them to be in plain packaging.
