ITW:

Yeah, but you get my drift.

The problem is, while the FDA is fucking around with stupid shit like this, they are neglecting their real duties inspecting imported fish from China, Thailand, etc.

ITW- you know that 38 cents you DON’T get back from Uncle in New Jersey? This is the kind of shit it’s wasted on.

That’s about 100,000th of a penny. About $.3799999 were wasted in the wars, tax cuts, bailouts and subsidies to wealthy agri-biz.

What ever happened to the simple Martini?

I fully agree with you on this one Rico.  I absolutely hate the nanny type protect them from themselves laws.  Also notice from the article:

“In August, an 18-year-old in Palm Coast, Fla., died after drinking Four Loko in combination with diet pills. The following month, a 20-year-old in Tallahassee, Fla., started playing with a gun and fatally shot himself after drinking several cans of Four Loko over a number of hours.”

Notice how neither of these people were even of legal drinking age.  That’s one of the tactics I abhor the most some dumb kid does some dumb thing and the parents rally around some dumb cause to avoid admitting they raised a dumb kid.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the companies behind red bull and rockstar energy drinks had lobbied for this ban.  The recent fruity caffeine and alcohol drink popularity started with bars offering mixed drinks made with those drinks.  An all in one offering may have been dinging their market share.

Pat, Fat, and ITW:

Thank you.

If the Tea Party’s raison d’etre needs further explanation, look no farther.

I guess those in the FDA’s banning department were having a slow day and needed something to do.

We have too much federal government, it is misdirected and overcompensated for what it does.

It’s for the kids, Man. Think about the kids.

Yes kids, now you will have to buy your alcohol/energy drinks from the crack dealer on the corner. Pick me up a couple dimes, while you are there, thanks.

When you mix up a Hairy Buffalo, you must now add 4 bottles (100ct.) of No-Doze.

You can always just throw a couple No-Doze into a bottle of Night Train Express. (Freeze before drinking).

Are these the same people that are entrusted with running the economy, and protecting us from the “greedy banksters”?

When will this fucking nightmare end?

Ronald Reagan banned the Quaalude. Bill Clinton banned analogs, like MDMA. What the Hell kind of idiot would ban a drink made up of two totally legal ingredients? The same people that banned fresh, unpasteurized milk?

Oh No!  That means Irish Coffee and Jamaican Coffee are next!  Both have caffeine and the first has Irish Whiskey and the latter has Jamaican Rum.

THE DEVIL’S DRINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
