The Dude Would Not Abide

With Four Loko being given a nasty lashing by the FDA, an Iowa state legislator wants to make sure bartenders there can't mix up a White Russian for you.

Iowa state Sen. Brian Schoenjahn (D-Arlington) has proposed a bill that would close this dangerous gap by making it a misdemeanor for any business with a liquor license to "manufacture for sale, sell, offer or keep for sale, import, distribute, transport, or possess any caffeinated alcoholic beverage."

Wouldn't this mean that Cuba Libres would be banned too, unless made with caffeine-free cola, of course? So, if a customer ordered a Coke and then some rum in a separate glass and combined them him or herself, would that count as possession?
