Doesn't soda, or pop, make kids hyper for lesson? On the other side, however, they're zombies without it.
I don't see any harm in enforcing for teens what everybody did for nursery kids: milk and cookies every two hours.
I must ask, however, especially after seeing Double J saying "my school" and Vercetti saying "I'm not going to a public school", what the term actually means here. High school, or University?
If it's the latter, I think it's a disgrace that it is being banned. If it's the former, I can sort of work out a negotiated acceptance for it.
...which is, of course, just as well, for if I couldn't, there'd be trrrrouble!
