    ~100mg of caffeine in one single espresso cup, so he drank equivalent of 3/4 espresso. It's better to worry about vitamins not caffeine content to avoid hypervitaminosis, which is vitamin poisoning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_poisoning)

    Simply go to SV and complain. If no reaction, call Gardai.

    Because the kid was legally sold a soft drink? :rolleyes: The guards would have loads of time for that.

    There's nothing illegal about selling it to kids. It's the parent's job to stop their kids drinking it. As such, this is not a Food & Drink issue. Thread closed.
