This article is focused on MotoGP, but I think it's relevant to our sport. No doubt, this topic has been discussed here previously. Sponsors like Lucas Oil become incredibly important, if any of this happens.
I'm sure teams and riders are looking at the realities of their situations if this comes to fruition.

The Shop
Again, why can't they have alcohol sponsorships? Everyone drinks beer.
I don't think there's any ban per se, of alcohol sponsorships.
As for energy drinks going away? I don't see it happening any time soon, unless they get legislated out of existence.
Would it kill the sport if energy drinks went away? No. Would teams have to get more creative about their pitches to other companies? Yep.
I'm kind of amazed at the amount of negativity on the forum right now. Look at the number of hand-wringing topics out there...for no real good reason.
Would love to see Dung on the podium hitting the water pipe after a hard moto instead of swigging the poison

I used to spend $200 a month on energy drinks, so yeah, they get a ROI for a special water !
I think if energy drinks ever get the pressure to stop those products, it won't matter anyways. They have built their brand up and are so "cool" or whatever that they could produce soda and still sell like crazy. I'm sure they have a plan B.
But they dump more money into supercross than any other sponsor.
Them leaving would leave a HUGE impact on the sport.

Too much of a good thing is equally bad then?
Energy drinks have a lot of stimulants, maybe best to keep away from kids for that reason
Coffee contains stimulants so does green tea etc
