A story in USA Today about a New Jersey college that has banned alcoholic energy drinks on campus over concerns about the health risks the drinks pose quotes Kathleen Miller, research scientist at the Research Institute on Addictions, who said that if the college can't ban drinks like Red Bull and vodka from local bars, it won't be able to stop consumption of caffeinated alcoholic beverages, but banning the drinks on campus will send a signal. Articles also appeared in the Asbury Park Press, on WLTX-TV in Columbia, S.C., College News and England's Top News.
