BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A state senator is proposing to ban the sale of energy drinks to anyone under the age of 16 amid concerns about the jolt of caffeine's effect on health.

Republican Sen. Robert Adley of Benton has proposed the bill for the legislative session that begins in less than two weeks. It would make the sale of the energy drinks, which are growing in popularity including with teenagers, to anyone 15 years old or younger an unfair trade practice.
