Punjab Bans Energy Drink Sales to Minors With Crackdown Near Schools: The Indian State Action That Joins a Growing Global Movement
Dailyhunt reports that Punjab has banned the sale of energy drinks to minors with enforcement crackdowns beginning near schools, representing the first Indian state-level energy drink age restriction documented in the briefing series and confirming that the global regulatory momentum catalyzed by the Alani Nu/Larissa Rodriguez death, the Florida SNAP ban, the Quebec youth ban proposal, and the FSANZ Australian caffeine warnings has now reached the world’s most populous country. The Punjab ban specifically targets sales near educational institutions where student consumers are most likely to purchase energy drinks as study aids, athletic performance enhancers, or social beverages, addressing the campus caffeine crisis that student newspapers from Michigan Daily to The Paisano to The Thunderword have documented as a generational health emergency. The school-proximity enforcement creates a regulatory model that other Indian states and international jurisdictions may adopt, potentially establishing a global template where energy drink sales are restricted within defined distances of educational facilities.
