Caffeine and Alcohol Don't Mix
Anheuser-Busch will stop selling caffeinated alcohol beverages in New York State, after an investigation by the Attorney General's Office charged the company with marketing to underaged drinkers. As part of an agreement with Andrew Cuomo's Office and several other State Attorneys General, Anheuser-Busch will no longer produce "Tilt," "Bud Extra", or other alcoholic energy drinks. The A.G.'s Office says the company was making false statements about the health and energizing effects of the caffeinated beverages. Anheuser-Busch will also pay 200-thousand dollars to the states involved, for public programs and also to cover the costs of the investigation.
