Ban on caffeinated alcoholic drinks in the United States

In the United States, it is against the law for companies to make alcoholic drinks that also have caffeine in them, or to sell alcoholic drinks that already have caffeine in them. The reason for this is because drinking too much caffeine and alcohol can be dangerous for people's health. Caffeine is a stimulant, which can make us feel awake and energized, while alcohol is a depressant, which can make us feel relaxed and sleepy. When the two are combined, it can be really hard to know how much alcohol and caffeine someone has had and how it could affect them. For this reason, it is better to keep them separate and make sure that people don't mix them.
