Chicago Aldermen propose banning alcohol-caffeine drinks

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Chicago would ban the sale of beverages that contain the potent mix of alcohol and caffeine, under a crackdown proposed Wednesday by a pair of influential aldermen.

Finance Committee Chairman Edward M. Burke (14th) and License Committee Chairman Eugene Schulter (47th) are joining forces to cut off the sale of drinks young people use to give themselves a jolt.

Alderman Burke and Alderman Schulter are worried about caffeine but aren't worried about using the chambers of Chicago's City Council to honor a "high ranking made member" of the Chicago Mob.
