Here in Washington the Attorney General is trying to ban Alcoholic Energy Drinks, does not seem to affect beer.

Latest news on the 4loco party was that they were using it as a mixer! Maybe we should be banning stupidity and not products, WTF!!

This will not be good, guys. It will be more ammunition for the Neo-Prohibitionists to demand that the government ban alcohol altogether. And we'll have to listen to that crap the way we did when the government turned on the tobacco industry back in the mid 90s.

This same thing happened when bars started mixing red bull and vodka and local legislators wanted to ban red bull in bars. The problem with the caffeine and booze is that the kids get all hopped up on the energy drink part and don't notice how drunk the are until they finally crash down.
