I have seen 3 small boys at a family party sitting on the stairs giggling helplessly after having unaccustomed fizzy drinks, and am quite convinced that a sugar rush exists! It took ages for them to come down from it too.

My sons refuse to believe me when I say there's no such thing!
When they were small, birthday parties had sugary sweets, cakes, Coca Cola etc, and there was only the behaviour which was normal for children hyped up by attending a party.

When I worked in Early Years, one mother told me to give her son Coca Cola before she collected him, and she would know immediately. I never gave him it, but on three occasions she brought him next day and said she knew he'd had it the day before, as he was more hyperactive than normal!
