For her teenagers, soda and energy drinks occupy a unique role. "It's a kind of social currency for them," she says.
Her 17-year-old daughter, Olivia, confirms this dynamic.
" I feel like when you walk into first period in the morning, everyone has like a Red Bull, an energy drink — it's a social construct for sure," says Olivia.
Some of her peers come to school with Starbucks drinks that cost nearly $7 — a luxury she cannot afford. But having a Red Bull, she says, makes her feel more normal.
Government should have subsidized Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger jeans for me in HS so I could have fit in better.
