Yeah, it was especially bad when it was pre-made like that. Every bar where I live sells energy drinks and they’ll mix it with booze for you. But you have to make that decision in the moment as opposed to buying 12 4lokos instead of beers and now every drink you have wires you up more.
As someone who has to wake up early most days I appreciate the ability to have an energy drink at a bar on a Friday night, but I’m sympathetic to the ban on alcoholic energy drinks
They add so much sugar too, which slows absorbtion, so once you feel like you’ve had enough, you still have a half hour of alcohol that hasn’t reached the blood stream. Its like it was designed to get teenagers blacked out.
It would be less dangerous if they just put 4oz of whiskey with 150mg of caffine.
The caffinated booze is a different hazard, it allows people who would otherwise go to sleep keep going, now with even worse judgement.
