That stuff is bad for you, and like BarneyMobile said, it is targeted at youth which makes it all the more cause for concern.

Firstly, this stuff is alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol makes you drunk, caffeine makes you awake? Why is that so bad? Now, if you drink this stuff and are awake, it gives you a false sense of sobriety. Do you really want a 17 year old kid driving home from a party after downing a few of these behind the wheel because he feels "awake?"

Secondly, Alcohol is a depressant, caffeine is a stimulant. The two mixed together can create irregular heart rhythms, as well as other blood and heart issues. I am not a doctor, nor have I drank this stuff before, but this, as far as I know and google can confirm, is common knowledge.

I didn't know about this stuff's existence until I saw it on the news today or yesterday. It blows my mind that people would do this to their bodies. Not that alcohol is all that healthy in itself, but what happened to just kicking back and having drinks with your friends? Why do we insist on a dangerous mix just because it gets you drunk quicker? Anything that makes you drunk quicker can only lead to one thing: vomit.

Edit: and to those of you that suggest education, what do you propose we do now? Or to those who don't listen? You can say that the problem will persist, but if a ban could save a few lives, and the problem will persist anyway, then why not?
