Sure it may energize a drunk person, but you can't blame Sparks for car crashes, sexual assault, and risky behaviour. Its the person that commits said act, stop blaming special drinks for "causing" people to do things. Not to mention all alcohol seems to have been blamed for these same things in past years. Its not the sparks, its the idiots that dont have any self control. And what about the craze of Jager bombs, with Red Bull? One of the most popular alcoholic drinks containing caffeine today. Are you going to outlaw that as well? STOP BLAMING THE BEVERAGE AND HOLD THE MORONS RESPONSIBLE.

I think the whole idea of mixing caffeine and alcohol is stupid, and most importantly, the science shows it is not safe. Sure you can mix coke with rum, but most normal folks do not think of caffine & alcohol effect. The loser(s) that market this stuff expect folks to realize that caffeine + alcohol = cool w/ this product. The only people that I can think of that would find this drink appealing is teenagers. Another way for these marketing pieces of trash at millercoors target youth, indirectly. Nice try. I am glad it is gone.

Sparks was a tasty drink its too bad they gave in.

I am so disappointed and disgusted with this country and MillerCoors. As of Jan 10, 2009, Miller has killed the real Sparks. It will now be reformulated into some wuss drink that nobody will buy or drink, no caffeine, guarana, taurine or ginseng. No more + or - on the can, no more lightning bolts, or any references to powered by, rockets, etc. Who the F is the CSPI and who the F are they to tell Miller what to do?
