Snoop Dogg Is Pimping A New Drink [VIDEO]

SNOOP DOGG is promoting a new drink that combines caffeine and booze. It's called Blast and it'll be part of the malt liquor brand Colt 45. (--Which is made by Pabst Brewing Company.) Blast doesn't hit stores until April 5th, but because of the Four Loko disaster some people are already calling for it to be BANNED. Four Loko also had the alcohol / caffeine combination and you probably remember how that turned out. After a string of bad incidents, states banned it, and now Four Loko is no longer made with caffeine. Blast is a 23-and-a-half-ounce drink, with 12 percent alcohol content. That's about DOUBLE a normal beer, both in alcohol concentration and amount. And then there's the caffeine on top of that. It'll be available in a bunch of flavors: Grape, raspberry watermelon, strawberry lemonade and blueberry pomegranate. Like Four Loko, critics say the drinks are dangerous to kids because they look like sodas and energy drinks. Naturally, Snoop is taking some heat for endorsing it. So far, there's been no response from Snoop or Pabst.

Personally I think that its a ridiculous argument to say that because the can has bright colors kids are going to try to drink it. Kids are going to try to drink it because it has alcohol in it, not because of what the can looks like. Otherwise you could package healthy food and drinks in cool packages and our kids would be fit and in great shape. That's a stupid reason to try to ban a drink. If we have to ban everything that kids shouldn't have because its packaged in bright colors, then we shouldn't sell cars that are any color but black because kids shouldn't be driving right? Kids don't need to watch R rated movies so make sure wo don't make the trailers look exciting or kids will want to see them. The packaging isn't the problem so quit complaining about it. If you don't think people should be drinking it then don't buy it. Some people want to drink it so let them. This is American right? I'll drink what I want and you drink what you want, end of story. Anyway here's the promo video, careful it has some kid unfriendly language.
