Jager bombs come from the bar

This is a war on college drinking. Seriously, the only people who drink Four Loko's are college kids. I know when I have $4 in change on a Friday night, 2 Four Lokos will easily do the trick and then some.
Maybe I will have to revert back to the 40's of Colt 45 on weekends when I have no money. Thank you FDA, you make me want to choke the life out of Disney-like forest creatures.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will effectively ban the sale of beverages that combine caffeine and alcohol
by ruling that caffeine is an unsafe food additive

Oh, and for the record, oh collection of scientists of health.
Alcoholic energy drinks do not contain caffeine at all (with the exception of Red Bull). They contain guarana, which to date has no hard evidence of even being a stimulant without adding the seeds (which are clearly not present in energy drinks since they are not dark brown/black). The FDA fabricates another witch hunt and all the ignorant citizens eat it up like it's a McDonalds "hamburger". And why not? They are our Lord and Masters, after all. They say who lives or dies in this "free" country.
I also find it very convenient how the only 2 superdrugs that aren't being controlled by the FDA and making a direct profit... alcohol and caffeine... are being attacked by the FDA. What a coincidence!edit on 16-11-2010 by Brood because: (no reason given)edit on 16-11-2010 by Brood because: (no reason given)

You do know guarana is caffeine right?

Really?
I am more than capable of going to a packie and getting some Jager, then going to Costco and buying a 30 pack of redbull. In fact, I know this to be true because I have done it.

One time I had three Sparks (an alcoholic energy drink) in a row. And let me tell you, it did not feel healthy. My heart felt like it was about to pound out of my chest.
Caffeine and alcohol just arent a good idea in large doses.
I'll tell you what though, nobody better be trying to take away my irish coffee, or there will be hell to pay

I think anything that can be accurately called "soft core speedballing" isn't the greatest idea, unless we're talking about Ketamine and '___'.
But anyways, it really begs to question why the hell this is being done. I mean, as our friend here who supports this move has clearly displayed, there is no sensible reasoning as to why this is being done. It's not like it prohibits anyone from doing this, in fact from all varieties of caffiene/alcohol cocktails I can think of, Four Loko is the tamest.

December 17, 2008 - With Coke about ready to start selling stevia-sweetened products without FDA approval, the FDA realizes it must preempt Coke's launch of these products by quickly issuing a letter "authorizing" Coke to market stevia-sweetened beverages, or else it will lose face. The other option would be to halt the marketing of stevia products, but the FDA doesn't feel it has the political power to pull that off against Coca-Cola. With its hand forced by Coca-Cola, the FDA issues a "letter of no objection" that allows Coca-Cola to sell stevia-sweetened beverages and still maintains the appearance of FDA authority.
The truth, of course, is that Coca-Cola was about to market the products anyway, without FDA approval, and the FDA has become little more than a regulatory ragdoll that pretends to stand up against Big Business from time to time but is actually working so closely with other businesses (Big Pharma) that is has no remaining credibility to move against Coca-Cola.
In the battle of Coke vs. the FDA, the FDA just got trampled. (Or "pwned," if you're a gamer.) Sure, the FDA can threaten small companies with some degree of credibility, but not Coca-Cola. And not Big Pharma, either. The upshot for all of us is the observation that the corporations are in charge around here, not the FDA.
We are well into the era of corporations running the food supply while the regulators can only pretend to exert anything resembling real authority.

Coca-Cola makes Rockstar Vodka.
Pepsi, however... might have something there.
