Alcoholic Caffeinated Drinks: Good Time or Bad Brews?
After nearly a dozen party-going students were hospitalized in Washington state, authorities put some of the blame on Four Loko, a popular drink that mixes alcohol with caffeine.
The FDA has had the drink on its radar since 2009, when it asked its maker, Phusion Projects, and 30 other manufacturers to prove their drinks are safe.
So far the agency hasn't ruled. In the meantime, here are the 40 plus products that mix booze and caffeine that are on the FDA's list.
