Morrisons supermarket has banned children under the age of 16 from buying high caffeine energy drinks.
The staff at some of the supermarket branches will challenge customers to prove their age.
The ban has been brought in because of health fears about extreme-caffeine intake by children with energy drinks.
The restrictions apply to certain brands with more than 150mg of caffeine per litre.
It will affect Red Bull which has 320mg, Monster (338mg) and Relentless (320mg).
