In Canada, children don’t usually acquire a taste for coffee before they reach their teen years but once they do, it can become a daily ritual. You don’t have to wander far from your own neighbourhood to take the (sometimes racing) pulse of coffee culture. Cafés are everywhere, and these inviting local spots are a magnet for teens after school lets out.
A rich cup of coffee is not the only caffeine culprit though. Soft drinks and energy drinks have their share of caffeine too, and even drinks that don’t appear to be caffeine-based might have caffeine in the ingredient list.
