A new market trend has raised warning flags at the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission - the influx of alcoholic energy drinks. Widely popular among teenagers and adults alike, energy drinks typically contain high amounts of sugar and caffeine, but no alcohol. However, new beverages started to appear on the market do; some, like Joose, contain over 9% alcohol - more than the average beer.
TABC fears that children may inadvertently buy alcoholic energy drinks (some of which may be cheaper than their non-alcoholic counterparts) or purchase them in hopes of sneaking the alcohol content past watchful parents.
Labeling on these alcoholic energy drinks is also a hot topic of discussion; 29 states have already appealed to the U.S. Attorney General, asking that more prominent labels be mandated for these beverages.
