Product placement

Alani Nu (energy drink): acts - a young girl drinks it to prepare for school. Removing it would change the video's premise. CVS Caffeine Alertness Aid (tablets): appears - shown as an example of caffeine availability. Removing it would not change the video's premise. American Academy of Pediatrics (organization): appears - cited as a source of information. Removing it would not change the video's premise.

GRWM for the second day of middle school Pharmacist Reacts: Child Drinking Alani before school?!?

Transcript

I was tagged. Did you guys see this? This is just a PSA that just because caffeine is available over the counter, especially like in energy drinks, it is still a drug. You can literally buy it as a tablet, which people will do, especially like to cut calories, stay awake. It's scary to me that a middle schooler, so someone who, I'm guessing like, is probably like age like 10 to 12, is drinking 200 mg of caffeine before school. Let's just review some information from the American Academy of Pediatrics when it comes to caffeine and children. I am so concerned because when it comes to caffeine related visits to the U.S. ER, this has doubled among middle and high school age students. If the cause being energy drinks, like Alani. Remember, this past year, a girl passed away from drinking like over a long period of time. Not something that a kid should be doing consistently. If you're going to ask the American Academy of Pediatrics, they actually do not recommend children having any caffeine. Honestly, when it comes to young children and caffeine, the risks definitely outweigh the benefits.
