Never been ID’ed for an energy drink.

Be glad you don't live in the UK then. You have to be able to prove that you're over 16, or 18 - I forget which. Luckily I don't have to worry about that being 27, but it does get annoying when I forget about it and take a monster through the self checkouts. Normally I have to wait maybe 5 minutes for the overworked employee to notice me and authorize the purchase.

They did this in Sweden too. Then people stopped buying energy drinks, because most people self checkout and you had to wait for an employee to come check that you are an adult. And swedes being swedes, they would rather die than go through that.

Now they have a permanent employee checking from afar with a tablet, approving people without any intervention or interruption. I wouldnt be surprised if the energy drink brands partially pay for them.

I never got ID'd buying Sparks (basically four loko before four loko was cool). The places I went that had it, stocked it with the RedBull and it only says it has alcohol in it in the smallest of print. I was getting that shit when I was still just 18.

Is this an ADHD meme?

(Smol amount of alcohol to focus the mind a bit, deal with normal amounts of ADHD anxiety? Still, not reading the labels is weird.)

Wait is this a thing? Sounds like a horrible way to manage but I'm down to try anything.

Hangover also great for ADHD. Slows down the mind. Quite productive unless you buy in to the idea that you can't do stuff while hungover.

Pity alcohol is so bad for you.

Yeah, being sick is a little vacation from yourself.
