Beer Company Gettin’ Rid of Sissy Drinks.

MillerCoors LLC has come under fire recently by over a dozen states for the sale of alcoholic energy drinks such as their lead seller, Sparks.

The original complaint was that the addition of caffene and other ingredients to alcohol would decrease the drinkers sense of intoxicaion, and increase the risk of driving dangers.  Also that they were sick of the wimp drinkers who couldnt handle a real beer or a shot of hard liquor.

Okay, maybe not that second part.  Actually, Sparks is stronger than most cans of beer, but the attorney generals are worried that it promotes underage drinking because of it’s candy flavor and the fact it looks like any other energy drink.

The Milwaukee-based company says it will remove caffeine, taurine, guarana and ginseng from Sparks and will not produce caffeinated alcohol beverages.

So does this mean that when this all happens ‘Sparks’ will just be another malt liquor?

St. Louis based company Anheiser Busch has alredy stated that they would reformulate their Tilt and Budweiser Extra beverages to be removed of all of these energy ingredients as well.

Sales of Red Bull with cases of beer are likely to go through the roof when the last can is sold.

I must chime in and say I do disagree with this though.  Music promotes drinking and smoking, television, movies, and video games promote sex and violence, but theres no ban on them, only ratings and age restrictions.

But when a drink promotes drinking, even with a 21 and over age restriction, it’s got to go!
