Sorry, I think I may have phrased that a bit too harshly.
However I believe in situations where safety issues are proven, and could continuously continue to cause health issues with an unaware target market, something needs to be done.
These are stupid kids drinking this, not your average, intellectual ATS member. Remember who're they're trying to get their product to. Sure, I look at the ingredients on almost everything I purchase, as many of the other members. But I'd also like to point out I didn't find out about ATS until after college either and made many, MANY stupid decisions I would not have made knowing what I have learned from here.

The fluid ounces, percentage of alcohol and addition of caffeine are displayed quite prominently on the container. In the case of some brands they are highlighted as selling points and placed in bold type with bright coloring.

But not everyone is concerned nor aware of the safety issues it poses. I don't know what age you are, but regardless, around the time you hit 18 and continuing until about 25ish, most people feel they are indestructible.
You know what happens when these kids hear someone died from this? Do you know what they're reaction is?

After seeing how Obama, Bush, Romney, Pelosi, and Reid have seriously messed up my state and country, I say, "Bring on the Communism!" Since the new entitlement generation has completely destroyed society, maybe a whole generation of communists might be a good change. We can take away their music, clothing styles, hair styles, internet, phones, cars, hard earned cash, video game systems, junk food, etc...
I am tried of trying to deal with Democrats; thus, fighting them on every other issue under the sun.
Fine! If the entitlement generation likes socialism, let us go the full distance and take it all away.
Let us not stop with caffeine in alcoholic beverages.
Next election in 2012, I am going to vote for a dictator.
Lets take it all away.
