It determined that caffeine is an "unsafe food additive" when mixed with alcoholic beverages.
Banned - rum and coke? The Captain will not be pleased.

And when I’m drunker than a skunk, they give me......BLACK COFFEE!!!
To: Libloather
Does this mean I can’t have a Bailey’s and coffee at a restaurant anymore? How about at home? My wife’s actually had a Red Bull and vodka, although I wouldn’t recommend it; it’s pretty nasty.

There are something like 25 brands of alcoholic “energy” drinks....
As long as they are sold to customers over 21, what is the problem?

Goo thing caffeine and alcohol can't be mixed! Otherwise, there might be trouble!

How does the government manage to come up with these decisions almost overnight? Isn’t there due process, regulatory hearings, public comments, etc? It’s this same overreaching government that quickly banned all drilling in the Gulf and then extended it with bogus scientific information. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, the process sucks.

Red bull and vodka make my wife a weepy crying girl for some reason. Just one or two, not an excessive amount.
Five apple martinis and she wants to dance with the stars.

If that’s the standard then how can anyone be allowed to sell any alcoholic beverage? It’s one of the most unsafe substances ingested by man.

Any prick that dares try to stop me from putting Glenlivit in my coffee is going to have something extremely painful happen to them in an eye blink.

Mine didn’t like hers, though she didn’t find it as distasteful as I did. No weird reaction in her case though.

People descended from beer and wine drinkers are common today.
There are not so many around descended from those who drank the water.

I do the same thing. When I get to work in the morning I pour a steaming cup of coffee, go back to my desk, and dump a couple of fingers of Glenlivet in. It smooths out the day. What do I do you may ask: I’m a brain surgeon.
To: Still Thinking
I have had a few redbull and vodkas, but only under extreme social pressure.
I found them distasteful too. Those little suckers cost about $3 per can, and everyone loves them as long as someone else is doing the buying thing.
