why should alcohol energy drinks be restricted?

[Karen]

I am sure if they have any alcohol in them, they are restricted for sale - it's the law! Maybe they have imperceptible amounts ... or, like cooking extracts, they are too weak for anyone to get "drunk" off of ...

Actually, when I first read the title, I thought you were referring to combining alcohol (a downer) with an energy drink (an upper), such as a jager bomb (jagermeister mixed with red bull). I don't know, I guess I don't get what you're saying should be restricted.

I personally think the energy drinks are ok, just like coffee or soda, when consumed in moderation. Problem with energy drinks, coffee, soda, etc, is the simple fact that people are gluttonous over-indulgers (myself included...giving up soda while I'm pregnant has been surprisingly easy, but usually, I crave them).
