The seller of this beverage has the right to request proof of the age of the buyer to avoid selling the wrong object.

Temporarily in Russia, energy drinks have not been considered as alcoholic beverages and are still sold freely. But some municipalities and autonomous republics have intended to take them, along with beer on the list of not complete ban.
