Snorting glue is totally retarded.
Yet people do it.
Perhaps we should ban glue.

Glues main purpose is not to be snorted but to glue things together so this is not an appropriate comparison.
Bad example.

You cant legislate against stupidity. People are going to be stupid dumbasses whether it's against the law to be or not. Whether some "evil big business" is selling the product or not.

Depending on how one rationalizes such an absurd measure will help define your place on the idiocy scale. Maybe you're actually sort of smart. Maybe you're real target is alcohol consumption as a whole and you'll take any win you can get. Maybe you're actually a real idiot and think that by keeping peanut butter and jelly out of the same jar nobody will ever put them together outside of their respective jars. Maybe you're just carrying some ridiculous ideal based vendetta against anyone and anything that turns a profit. Maybe you just love your government so much it just cant ever make a mistake.
I want the real reason for support. At least then I know you've tried to think.

It's about standing up to big business, and doing what's right.
Ok here's the scenario.
I'm a bar tender at a local night club.
You are an FDA enforcement officer.
You see me deliberately make someone a vodka-redbull cocktail.
GO!

That just gave me a great idea. A board game similar to Clue. But called Rule. Where your goal is to discover who committed what non-crime and how they will be punished.
Consider this time-stamp a copyright. I have to get working on this ASAP.
It was the High School Junior with the Red Bull sentenced 3-5 years with 5 years probation and counseling by a state assigned social worker.

I thought alcohols main purpose was to get you drunk.
By that logic, its the alcohol that should be banned and not the caffeine.
Oh wait - we tried that once I seem to recall.
It ended up creating people like Al Capone.

What about this are you not getting?
It's not one or the other, it's the COMBINATION that's the problem.
It's like bleach and amonia. Use them separately and you're good but combine them and OOPS ! You're dead !
Get it ?????

No, I got that clearly.
Alcohol alone is good for you.
Caffeine alone is good for you.
Vodka-redbull? Its time for some 3 million volt taser action.

Never said either was good for you but when you combine the 2, it's not good.
Debating this with you is like talking to a wall, except the wall has a more rounded argument

So:
Alcohol alone is bad for you.
Caffeine alone is bad for you.
Vodka-redbull - it's time for a steel baton to the face?
