Party Beverages

INSTRUCTIONS:

Party beverages that go by "blackout in a can" and other monikers may soon be banned from store shelves in some U.S. states, thanks to a number of incidents that have left drinkers unconscious and with dangerously high blood alcohol levels. The Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) stated a typical is 24 ounces (0.7 liters) and has a 12 percent alcohol content—compared with a 12-ounce (0.35-liter) can of beer, which normally has 4 to 5 percent—plusthe caffeine equivalent of five cups of coffee. Some of the beverage lines singled out for their 12 percent alcohol content were Associated Brewing's Axis, United Brands's Max and Phusion Projects's Four Lokoofferings. The commission concluded that a person need only consume one can of such a beverage to become intoxicated—and that because these drinks typically cost $2 to $5 per can they are "easily accessible and affordable." Such beverages were in the news when students were hospitalized following a party. The blood alcohol levels of the students—who were all under the age of 21 at the time of the incident—ranged from 0.123 to 0.35. (A blood alcohol concentration of 0.3 can be lethal.) That school and others have since banned such drinks from campus pending further investigation. ****THIS IS WHAT YOUR ANSWERING FROM THE AVOVE INFORMATION********* What do you guys think about these such drinks?
