Federal officials crack down on college favorite Four Loko and other jacked-up alcoholic beverages, saying caffeine is an unsafe additive.

As a pre-med student at Lehigh University, Valerie Estela understands why government authorities and health experts are in a tizzy over caffeinated alcoholic drinks like Four Loko.
"When your body gets groggy from drinking, we've learned that's a defense mechanism to keep you from killing yourself," said Estela, 21. "Obviously, adding a jolt of caffeine offsets that mechanism."
That knowledge hasn't stopped Estela from occasionally downing one of the 23.5 oz. cans of the beverage, which reportedly has the chemical punch of four to six beers and a jolt of coffee.
"It's a quick, cheap buzz," Estela said, saying she never consumes more than one. "But the next day, you have the worst hangover humanly possible. Everything hurts."
Government officials have decided that the mixed stimulant/depressant drinks can lead to something worse than a bad headache and a sick feeling and have effectively banned them. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent warning letters Wednesday to four manufacturers of the drinks, saying that caffeine is an unsafe additive to malt beverages and threatening to seize their products.

Well the FDA should go get f@cked millions of people a year drink the hell out Crown,Jack,Jim,Canadian Mist...etc....mixed with Mtn.Dew,Coke,Sprite,7-Up..etc....Guess their dumb ass don't realize all these drinks have Caffeine and Alchohol when put together...........You just mix them the way you like instead all ready mixed in a can/bottle...............
Unless the people of this country/world start standing up against these stupid f@cks, there is gonna be a day when we can only breath 700 times a day instead of 7000 times a day. It's coming.
If you are of the LEGAL drinking age who gives a f@ck what you drink as long as you are responsible, I could give a shit if you drink unleaded gasoline and chase it with a bag of sugar. It's not against the law to die if YOU choose to stupid shit to your body last time I checked it does belong to YOU.
