Beer with caffiene?

What effect will caffeinated beer have on the fragile fabric of American society? Can we handle this?

</NITF>At first, beer with caffeine sounds like a terrific idea. With caffeine in your beer, you can stay awake longer and do many delightful things, such as drink more beer. It's a beer-drinker's vision of heaven...

<NITF>Alas, there is a potential downside to this great breakthrough. Drinking too much beer sometimes makes people do stupid things, such as fighting with strangers. Or sleeping with strangers. Or calling your ex-girlfriend at 3 in the morning to tearfully beg her to come back -- a supplication frequently accompanied by a dubious promise to stop drinking. </NITF>
<NITF>Until now, beer guzzling was a self-regulating activity. Sure, drinking too much made you do stupid things. But drinking too much also tended to make you fall asleep before you got into trouble. Passing out is nature's way of saying you drank too much, and it has saved many a beer drinker from acute embarrassment. But with caffeine keeping beer drinkers cranked up, there's no end to the fun. Which could get ugly. </NITF>

Consumers of alcohol are already pumping up by drinking energy drinks before, during and after; they also resort to mixers with cola for the sole purpose of caffeine. Mostly, I think that the nature of the beast is the nature of the beast - adding caffeine is not going to make a kitten a cougar.

And besides, consumers DON'T have to CHOOSE to buy and consume it...

I've made some of that. The recipe I used was called "Schizophrenia Espresso Porter". It got you drunk and wired at the same time :silly:

One of my clients told me about this last week. They said it is going to prevent a hangover in the morning. Oh ok
