• Alcoholic Drinks with Caffeine to Be Pulled From Stores

The state Alcohol Beverage Control Administration is asking local retailers to immediately stop selling any alcoholic beverages that also contain caffeine. The move follows action taken Wednesday by the federal Food and Drug Administration, which asked four national beverage manufacturers to discontinue adding caffeine to their popular brands of alcoholic drinks. Such beverages have come under fire recently because the way they work mixing highly caffeinated energy drinks with alcohol causes drinkers not to realize how intoxicated they may actually be. Calling the feeling wide-awake drunk, the administration warned that the caffeine additive masks the normally depressing effect alcohol has on a persons body, reducing the feeling of intoxication.

• Alcoholic Energy Drinks Are Swill - I Mean, Swell

Hey, what are you drinking, that's not Joose, is it? It looks like Joose, or maybe some Four Loko, and it smells like kiwi and that's why I thought it might be Snapple at first. Did you hear the federal authorities are looking into alcoholic energy drinks, saying they're all bad for you and stuff and deserve a label and maybe should be outlawed all together, and at the same time the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is urging retailers to be extra careful when selling the drinks because they're marketed to minors and stuff? If you ask me, not that you are, but I'm going to tell you anyway, because I've been up since 6 a.m. Thursday and have had 15 and a half times my daily intake of caffeine and B12 - not to mention a little somethin'-somethin' - this investigation is li...

• Alcoholic Energy Drinks Remain Target

The state's Liquor Control Board and a statewide beer distributors' association want alcoholic energy drinks such as one brewed in Latrobe to be pulled from the shelves until safety and health concerns are resolved. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board last month asked its 17,000 licensed beer distributors to stop selling high-energy alcohol drinks until a federal Food and Drug Administration investigation determines the drinks are safe. The drink is popular among college students, and there have been reports of alcohol poisoning among those who have consumed it.

Caffeinated malt liquor which contributed to the hospitalization of nine underage Central Washington University students and the police-involved shooting of a Vancouver man will be banned from Washingtons grocery and convenience stores, Gov.

The emergency ban, similar to those in Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma, takes effect Nov. 18. Washingtons rule targets beer-based drinks that also feature caffeine, such as the malt-liquor energy drink Four Loko.

• Alcoholic Energy Drinks-- A Risk Not Worth Taking [Derived Headline]

They're sweet, fizzy and fruity, and they pack a stealthy yet strong punch with the quickly-to-be-inebriated. Alcoholic drinks like the colorfully packaged Four Loko malt liquor long have had the attention of collegiate and adolescent drinkers. And now they have the adults' attention after the finding that Four Loko made nine Central Washington University students ill at a Roslyn house party. Recall that the students were so smashed that authorities initially feared they had been drugged.
