        Again you need define “child” here.

        For adolescents that’s 100-175mg/day, equivalent to 1.5 Monster energy drinks, or a large iced coffee. Per studies, that’s fine for a 12 year old but I wouldn’t want my 12 year old drinking adult beverages with any regularity. I’d rather work on there sleep habits, etc.

        Worth noting that higher caffeine take is associated with things like poor diet/etc, but not causally linked.

          Per day and all at once are two different things. One is a concentrated dose, the other is spread out. You’re not even accounting for that.
