The email stated that the drink will be banned from now and will be confiscated if found. ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad The email read, “Hi everyone. Prime drinks are now a banned item. DO NOT bring them into school. They will be confiscated if found or seen, and you will be sanctioned with a -3.
