New Fuse research @teessideuni.bsky.social reveals a concerning picture of how children in North East England perceive energy drinks. Over 80% of the 13–14-year-olds surveyed consume them - many several times a week - despite health risks and voluntary sales bans. ⬇️ fuse.ac.uk/news/fuseres...

In this blog, the researchers share what the children told them - they aren’t passive consumers: they get marketing, branding & peer pressure, yet energy drinks remain part of their culture. Stronger policy, better education & youth input are key. ⬇️ fuseopenscienceblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/bran...

Our latest paper explores a question that’s been quietly brewing in school corridors, corner shops, and online spaces: What do energy drinks mean to young people? In this study, we listened to the voices of children & young people in North East England—hearing not just what they consume, but why.
