TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Officials at the American Christian
Academy are considering banning energy drinks after one student was
hospitalized and several others became ill after drinking too many
of the drinks during the school's annual prom trip.
Headmaster Dan Carden says about 10 students became sick about
10 p.m. on April 11th while the school was at The Grand Hotel
Marriott Resort in Point Clear for its prom. One student began
vomiting.
Carden says the school holds its prom away from Tuscaloosa for
safety and monitoring purposes. This year, 110 students made the
trip.
Carden says at least two of the students were taken to a nearby
hospital and all of them were tested for drugs, alcohol and
tobacco. He says none of the tests came back positive. He says the
hospital also analyzed the drink and no alcohol or illegal
substances were found.
The school has taken disciplinary action against some of the
students at the prom, but Carden declined to elaborate.
The Christian Academy is working on a schoolwide policy that
will ban energy drinks of campus. The drinks usually contain a high
amount of caffeine mixed with B vitamins.

LOL, I know it must be serious if a student had to go to the hospital, but this just sounds funny. What’s next? “A student has been making other students laugh while they are drinking milk, to watch the milk squirt out of their nose.  The Christian Academy is working on a school-wide policy that
will ban milk on campus”, or “Student have been purposely hyperventilating themselves to get dizzy. The Christian Academy is working on a school-wide policy that will ban air on campus”.
