A university in Vermont, USA, has banned energy drinks because they promote 'risky sexual behaviour'.
Students banned from consuming energy drinks
‘I see it as the equivalent of banning cigarettes,’ Dan Detora, executive director of dining hall services said.

Middlebury College will ban the sale of all energy drinks from 7 March, MetroUK reports.
‘There are more important things for them to address,’ fourth-year student Arnav Adhikari, who works at the college cafe, told NBC.
‘And what do energy drinks have to do with sexual activity?’

It was also revealed that Middlebury may actually have some grounds for their ban.
A 2014 study into sexual risk-taking found risky sex was more common among those who regularly consumed energy drinks. Another study suggested that those who mixed booze and energy drinks were more likely to have casual sex.
And in any case, the powers that be at the college have no intention of reversing the ban.
