A Vermont college has banned the sale of energy drinks on campus because it said the drinks may lead to “problematic behavior” like “high-risk sexual activity” and alcohol abuse. Middlebury College, in Middlebury, Vermont, also said the beverages may affect students’ academic performance and lead to a culture of stress, Fox 2 Detroit reported.
The Middlebury Campus, the college’s student newspaper, reported that the ban will take effect March 7. It applies to popular energy drinks like Red Bull, Rockstar and 5-Hour Energy. Although those products will no longer be sold on campus, students can still purchase them from retailers elsewhere. The college’s Community Council, comprised of faculty, staff and 12 students, approved the decision.

I guess it depends on what you’re risking.
When to we abolish Nannies?
LOL! You can’t make this stuff up.
I guess strong coffee is just flat out, then. Back to snorting Bactine.
Next thing you know, they will be banning coffee and tea.
All that caffeine, you know.
Is not Vermont set to legalize marijuana?
What’s bad is a bunch of supposed “educators” are drawing an illogical conclusion out of thin air. To get from energy drinks to high-risk sex is like linking guns to armed robbery.
So they can’t buy them off campus?
Or passing your exams.
Hey now’s the time to put up a 711 right outside of the campus:-)
they gonna ban parties? short skirts? music? movies?
College leads to more sex than just about anything other than air.
Hell!I didn’t realize I’ve been doing things all wrong.All I’d have too do to have sex with a young lass would be to get her a strong cup of coffee.
I’m being sarcastic but that’s what this amounts to.
High-risk like buttsecs, or is that still a-okay in liberal-land?
I'm sure the collective IQ of the faculty council didn't think that one out.
... the drinks may lead to "problematic behavior" like "high-risk sexual activity" and alcohol abuse. Middlebury College, in Middlebury, Vermont, also said the beverages may affect students' academic performance and lead to a culture of stress ...
As far as I can tell, the connection to "high-risk sexual activity" is that students who consume stimulant beverages may also consume alcoholic beverages, which, as well all know ...
Maybe they should make an educational film about the risk and call it Redbull Madness.
