The revelation this week that sugary, high-alcohol energy drinks helped
send nine Washington state college freshmen to the hospital after an
off-campus party has renewed public concern about the hazards of the
beverages.
Several states have enacted or are considering limits or bans on the
drinks, and at least two universities have banned them from campus while
the Food and Drug Administration reviews their safety.
The drinks are popular with college students who want to get drunk quickly
and cheaply. The maker of one beverage linked to the Washington state
party this month said that it markets its products responsibly to people
of legal drinking age.
At that party, police officers found a chaotic scene, with students from
Central Washington University passed out and so intoxicated that
investigators thought they had overdosed on drugs.
Nine students who drank Four Loko, a caffeinated malt liquor, were
hospitalized with blood-alcohol levels ranging from 0.12 percent to 0.35
percent, and a female student nearly died, CWU President James L. Gaudino
said. A blood-alcohol concentration of 0.30 percent is considered
potentially lethal.
All the hospitalized students were inexperienced drinkers - freshmen
ranging in age from 17 to 19. Toxicology results showed no drugs in their
bloodstreams, although a small amount of marijuana was reported at the
party, said the university's police chief, Steve Rittereiser said.
Some students admitted drinking vodka, rum and beer with Four Loko.
