Ban on caffeinated alcoholic beverages
A ban on caffeinated alcoholic beverages is a ban which prevents the marketing and distribution of any prepackaged caffeinated alcoholic drink.
In the United States, such a ban was discussed as a result of multiple cases of alcohol poisoning and alcohol related blackouts among users of such drinks. The majority of these alcohol poisoning cases were found on college campuses throughout the United States. Caffeinated alcoholic drinks such as Four Loko, Joose, Sparks and Tilt were the most popular around the U.S. The beverages, which combine malt liquor or other grain alcohol with caffeine and juices at alcohol concentrations up to about 12 percent, have become popular among younger generations. Their consumption has been associated with increased risk of serious injury, drunken driving, sexual assault and other behavior.

One of the more popular drinks, Four Loko, mixed an amount of caffeine equal to three cups of coffee, with alcohol equivalent to about three cans of beer. Critics argue that the beverages are designed to appeal to younger buyers that are used to drinking caffeinated energy drinks. A can of Four Loko contains either 6 or 12 percent alcohol by volume, depending on state regulations.〔 Another reason for drinks such as Four Loko's appeal to youth is the pricing.〔 At approximately $2 a can, at this price it has been reported that college students or younger high school students would be more inclined to buy such beverages.〔 When the ban was placed many students bought out what was left on shelves for resale.〔
