Age restrictions on energy drinks by country

Common card · No. 241344

This is a list of age restrictions on energy drinks by country. This list compares laws that set a minimum purchase age (or otherwise restrict sales) of energy drinks for minors. In most jurisdictions there is no national age-of-sale law, however many Eastern European and Central Asian countries prohibit the sale of energy drinks to under-18s. In 2014, Lithuania became one of the first such jurisdictions to ban the sale of energy drinks to minors. Many countries have adopted caffeine warning labels (e.g., under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011) and voluntary retail policies to dissuade minors from purchasing energy drinks. Public-health bodies in several countries advise that high-caffeine drinks are not recommended for children. In some countries, retailers apply a sales policy restricting the sale of energy drinks to minors, even though local laws do not prohibit their sale.
