Alcohol has been legal to buy, sell, and consume in the US since the repeal of the 18th Amendment in 1933. Caffeine has never been illegal in the US, and millions of people consume it in soft drinks, coffee, and tea every day. So what's the problem when you combine them together?
Pat yourselves on your backs liberals, big government is here to ban whatever you deem offensive.

Alcohol = downer
Caffeine = Upper
Upper + Downer = Not so good for you health.
Its like pulling your body to different ways. Red Bull and Vodka would be an example of something you probably shouldnt be drinking alot of. I gotta agree with them here. But then again, they still allow the sale of ciggarettes. So who nows what this is really about. lol

Took it seriously until the bolded was read, and I realised this is just a thread to overtly show your political alignment.

Well I dont have four lokos in my fridge and 12% alcohol seems obscene probably tastes like ***. I don't even drink these kind of drinks my girlfriend does. They are like 600 calories a can so yea, I stay away lol (Sparks).
The problem with the FDA pulling this is like what was mentioned in the article, they can pull the plug on four lokos because they arn't properly labled like Sparks are and have been for years. My girlfriends little sister (14) drinks these with her friends, so these are definately more popular with the younger underage drinkers.
Silly kids, when i was underage I just scraped together a couple of bucks and got too 24oz 211 Steel reserves and got *** up on just those 2. I didn't need caffiene and sugar and 700 calories to have a good time. Guess I'm just an old *** tho (23)

I just think it's stupid that the primary evidence they have it of being bad for you is 18 year olds that legally shouldn't be drinking in the first place.

Having watched several people drink a few of these and start vomiting, I'm torn. It was perfect Darwinism at work, to be honest, but it's stupid to let people actually drink that crap.
Meh.

I don't really drink, only been drunk 2-3 times, and only completely hammered once.
It's just never really appealed to me I suppose.

So because I have political ideals and opinions, makes the reported story invalid?

Can we just stop being childish with this whole blame game ***?
Because that's all this liberal-conservative BS is.
If you really want to blame someone blame Teddy Roosevelt who created the FDA
