New Alcohol aimed at Teens?

Tweet

There is a new alcoholic beverage out on the market called Spykes and critics charge it is aimed at teens. Is it? The folks at Anheuser-Busch have rolled out a new alcoholic beverage called Spykes. The malt beverage has a 12 proof alcohol content and comes in 2 ounce bottles shapped somewhat like nail polish bottles. The flavors available are mango, lime, melon and chocolate and they all come packed with a boost of caffine. Critics claim these drinks are geared specifically towards teens and encourages underage drinking. What do you think? Personally I don't see these to be geared specifically towards teens. One of the main arguments is that the bottle size fits perfectly into pockets and purses. *cough* Ahem, so does any shot bottle currently on the market. As for the drink flavors, well there has already been a craze for caffiene driven beverages and the flavors are reminiscent of the Pucker's Schnapps flavors. So I don't see this as being nescesarily geared towards teens. You can view the full article here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17862137/wid/11915773>1=9246
