Within hours, UNH bans energy drinks, then doesn’t

University of New Hampshire officials can’t seem to make up their minds about energy drinks.

In an odd turn of events, UNH President Mark Huddleston announced Monday night that he was delaying a decision made by the university earlier in the day to ban the sale of energy drinks on campus. Huddleston’s announcement was sent out just before 8:30 last night, nine hours after the school sent out a press release announcing the ban.

Monday morning, UNH media relations sent out a press release announcing the decision to restrict the sale of energy drinks in retail and vending locations campus, citing a survey conducted last spring that found 20 percent of UNH students reported mixing alcohol and energy drinks during the last 30 days.

The ban was set to take effect in January.

“We felt it was important to support Healthy UNH and the president’s commitment to make our campus the healthiest in the country,” David May, assistant vice president for business affairs, said in the press release. “These products, while legal and safe when consumed as intended, have been proven unsafe when overused or mixed with alcohol.”

3. Alcoholic drinks can be mixed with milk, fruit juice, soda, coffee and plain water

depending on its form. So perhaps milk, fruit juice, soda, coffee and plain water should be banned from campus, too.
