FILES-US-LIFESTYLE-FOUR LOKO
(FILES)Two cans of the 23.5 ounce "Four Loko" malt liquor energy drink are seen in this November 14, 2010 photo in Washington, DC. Four Loko, which has an alcohol content of 12 percent and as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, came under scrutiny this fall after students who drank it at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, and Ramapo College in New Jersey ended up in emergency rooms, some with high levels of alcohol poisoning. Phusion Projects, manufacturer of popular caffeinated alcohol drink, said November 17, 2010 it will remove the caffeine from its products, pulling the blend off the market just as the Food and Drug Administration is poised to ban it. The announcement follows an FDA announcement that caffeine is an unsafe food additive to alcoholic beverages. AFP Photo/Paul J. Richards
