Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal says the Sparks Red drink is a "recipe for disaster" because adding caffeine to alcoholic beverages reduces drinkers' sense of intoxication.
Blumenthal and the other attorneys general say young drinkers are especially vulnerable because of their limited judgment and risky behaviors in driving and other activities.
A MillerCoors spokesman didn't return messages seeking comment.
Last week the Center for Science in the Public Interest said it sued MillerCoors to stop the brewer from selling Sparks, saying it's going after teenagers with the drink

Targeting teenagers - if you haven't noticed the drinking age is 21 - any teen would require an adult violating the law to obtain the drink.
Also plenty drinkers spike their coffee and tea - once thinks are banned it is a slippery slope to what's next.
An adult has to take responsibility for their actions as a drinker - its not up to MillerCoors to police.

21 is minimum drinking age in NYS. Drinking age in other states are lower.
Teens drink. It's a fact. Its not difficult for teens to procure alcohol even in NYS

Cigarettes can kill you and are for sale every fifty feet in NY State, but "children might buy it" so no one can have it. Why don't they ban cigarettes? This decision is two faced.
