They pic and choose what they say not good for us,.
But not really looking out for our overall health in general.
Hamburgers that dont rot
High fructose corn syrup
Aspartame or nutrasweet
Sodium Nitrates and nitrites
Monosodiumglutamate
Tobacco companies
Flouride in drinking water
endless amounts of drug company products
ect,ect,ect.
All that stuff has some serious long term adverse health affects
and now they are worried about caffeine?

There is money in Beer and liquid, all of those have been around for ages, but caffeinated alcohol has only been around for 5 years maybe less? Though due to the recent spikes in deaths related to these beverages the FDA sees it as something that just doesn't need to be done. I agree that Cars,Cigarettes,Beer, etc are bad for us, but stuff like that is going to always be around.

Punishment due for being caught serving such drinks in a licensed drinking establishment...I say we start with a good macing, then while you are on your knees clawing desperately at your eyes to try and get rid of the burn, they tazer you, 550v ..while you are curled up in the fetal position with eyes burning and your fruit of the looms just a little bit heavier then when you put them on this morning..you get a good swift kick to the abdomen. After you are left to squirm around in pain and in your own filth for a few minutes, you be allowed to slowly get up and try and regain what's left of your dignity, but as soon as you make it to as far as your knees..WHAM! Swift punch to the face and you're down for the count. Just for you Mnemeth. =)edit on 17-11-2010 by Aziuno because: fat fingered spelling error

What about the Rum and Coke? The 7 and 7? The Jager Bomb? Crown and Mt. Dew?
Most cocktails contain caffeine.. I don't see how going after the "Energy Booz" is going to effect anything...

I think they're targeting the pre-mixed drinks only, so Jack and Coke sold in separate containers is ok. Having them in the same bottle would be forbidden.
