Alcoholic energy drinks to be banned

Alcoholic energy drinks will be effectively banned by U.S. regulators after reports of deaths and hospitalizations in young people, according to Senator Charles Schumer. The Food and Drug Administration plans to announce that caffeine isn’t a safe addition to alcoholic beverages, ending a yearlong review of the products. The Federal Trade Commission will tell manufacturers that marketing these products is potentially illegal. Washington, Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma and some colleges banned the drinks after reports of young people being sick or injured after consuming them.

Bonnie - the official ruling from the FDA about this issue cannot come soon enough as far as I am concerned.
