Texas House approves ban on alcoholic energy drinks

Texas House approves ban on alcoholic energy drinks
May 13, 2011 9:42 AM CDT
By Erica L. Rodriguez


AUSTIN - Texas lawmakers are cracking down on sales of highly caffinated energy drinks.

On Thursday, the House approved a ban that would take alcohol-based energy drinks off the market.

Supporters of the ban say that mixing alcohol with high-caffeine drinks have led to heart attacks and car accidents.

The Food and Drug Administration warned at least four companies, which produce the drinks, that their products were unsafe.

According to the National Conferences of State Legislatures, at least 13 states have already banned the sale of one Four Loko. However, recently the company that makes Four Loko, announced that it had removed caffine from the product.

Damnit. Looks like I'll have to go back to adding high proof whiskey to my thrice brewed, heavily caffeinated coffee. :rofl:

At first i thought this whole situation was completely stupid, because like everyone has mentioned you can just buy both separate and mix them!

But then i realized that with drinks like Four Loko there's quite a bit of caffeine in them, compared to me just taking a sip or 2 of a Monster, Rockstar, etc. as a chaser.

This doesn't make any sense.  The FDA already banned these products federally.
