Caffeinated Beer Becomes a Reality

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i've-waited-for-this-day-so-long dept.

Cylar writes "CNN is reporting that Anheuser-Bush has developed a sweet, caffeinated beer they are dubbing B(E). Intended to compete with the trendy sweet concotions popular on the club scenes (such as Smirnoff Ice), it will contain caffeine, guarana, and ginseng." Not sure how I feel about ginseng in my brew, so I'll have to study this with a few cases.

  1. Safety Question by rasteri · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Drinks/food with all these psychoactive chemicals really makes me wonder if it would be safer (and more effective) just to legalise Ecstasy. E is rather safe, after all (the government just flat-out lies about its safety). It also provides a far more pleasant high than alcohol and certainly caffeine, and users report that they are basically "themselves", unlike being drunk where you just lose it.
