Tag: Caffeine legality

In 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to several companies, deeming the added caffeine in their alcoholic malt beverages an "unsafe food additive". This action has led many to question the legality of consuming both stimulants and depressants, wondering: is it illegal to have caffeine and alcohol in the same drink?

In the mid-2010s, the FDA issued multiple warnings about the dangers of highly concentrated caffeine products after several fatal overdoses. While it is technically possible to acquire straight up caffeine in a dehydrated powder form, significant legal and health risks are involved, making it a purchase most consumers should avoid.
