Doctors warn schoolgirl addict to 'stop drinking Red Bull or you will die'

France actually banned Red Bull from ever being sold as the French government deemed it to have addictive qualities, therefore, a drug.
It was illegal to sell Red Bull, and the like, anywhere in France

I don't doubt that they banned it, but I doubt the reason. I'm pretty certain they sell cigarettes in France, and I'm pretty certain they're one of the most addictive things sold.

Energy drinks are only bad if you drink, oh, 50 of them a week?

That's a bit ridiculous.

They're not addictive, physically...mentally they could be.

Umm. I thought caffeine WAS addictive. I think banning the stuff is ridiculous but come on, you have to know caffeine is addictive.
