It determined that caffeine is an "unsafe food additive" when mixed with alcoholic beverages.

Banned - rum and coke? The Captain will not be pleased.

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.

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.

Number one drink in Maine:

The buzz that keeps you drinking all night. And the nights get pretty long up here.

I had Four Loko Halloween night (after a LONG night of drinking and partying with friends) and I can tell you that it wasnt the Firefly (Tea flavored Vodka) the case of beer nor the Tattoo (Rum) that screwed me over. It was that damned Four Loko. My roommate who drank it was in the same boat as me, we were both hugging the porcelain maiden and emptying our guts. All because of that damned Four Loko.

But they still shouldnt ban it because it provides great entertainment for everyone else!

This is crazy stupid. Rum and cokes, Irish coffee, heck Kahlua and how many other coffee liqueurs out there?

I’m particularly fond of Sumbuca expressos as a weekend eye opener.
