(Chicago Sun Times) — New York Sen. Charles Schumer is urging the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the marketing of flavored alcoholic beverages with caffeine that appear to be explicitly designed to attract underage drinkers.
In a letter to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, Schumer said Sunday that the colorful cans are also designed to befuddle parents and police with labels that resemble nonalcoholic energy drinks. He said popular drinks such as Joose and Four Loko also use very small print to disclose alcohol content of up to 12 percent, about twice that of beer.
