. . . .Executive summary: the FDA has informed four companies that caffeine is an unsafe food additive when mixed with alcohol. In this particular case, the drinks being affected are cans of carbonated, caffeinated, and alcoholic drinks but if youre wondering whats the scientific difference between that and a hand-made mixture of coffee, whiskey and whipped cream, the answers simple: there isnt one.

And if youre wondering whats stopping the government from deciding that bars shouldnt serve Irish or Jamaican coffee - or, God help us, Red Bull and vodka, which is apparently the big club drink now - the answers even simpler: nothing. Nothing at all. If young drinkers start consum[ing] hand-mixed caffeine/alcohol concoctions, the FDA will start going after the organizations that serve them. . . .
