Budweiser BE - Caffeine Beer!

Heard about this a while back:

I dont drink bud, so havent noticed this around anywhere...
Vokda and Red bull is the curse of the police / gardaí, as it tends to keep drunk people up and ready for fighting, instead of leaving them in a heap where (hopefully) they'll be less danger to themselves and others.
Looks like BE is going to come under fire for much the same.

What do people think of this move by Bud?
Especially now where "Drink Responsible" is a big marketing message, I think this is going in the wrong direction.

It does sound incredibly irresponsible.

it's the same with buckie. although bud tastes well pretty rubbish and leaves you very gassy so i doubt they'll be people drinking mad amounts like they do vodka and redbull style

But you could also say that Red Bull is sickly sweet - but it doesn't stop people skulling it by the bucket load.

I don't know. Bad move, I think.
