Nov. 10: Alcoholic energy drinks 'Four Loko,' left, and 'Joose' in Olympia, Wash.
According to the article, the FDA is supposed to declare that caffeine is unsafe. Four Loko has announced that it will be removing caffeine from it's alcoholic drinks.
The announcement came as the FDA is expected to find as early as Wednesday that caffeine is an unsafe food additive to alcoholic drinks. That finding essentially would ban Four Loko and other drinks like it.
The FDA ruling "should be the nail in the coffin of these dangerous and toxic drinks," Sen. Chuck Schumer, who has pushed the Obama administration to ban the beverages, said Tuesday.
Wow. Thank goodness for Chucky Schumer and his amazing knowledge of what is good for us.
So, apparently, this is going to effect beverages that contain both caffeine and alcohol. How are you going to prevent someone from ordering a Red Bull and vodka? If the FDA declares that caffeine is dangerous, then what's next? No coffee?
I love this. The same people that do not want smoking, they do not want caffeine, ect. but, hey, getting high and smoking a joint is okay.
