SEATTLE -- Central Washington University has determined that a high-alcohol energy drink under scrutiny nationwide is what sickened students at an off-campus party this month.
Nine students were hospitalized after the Oct. 8 party in Roslyn, where about 50 people had been drinking.
Some students had blood-alcohol levels ranging from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent after consuming cans of the drink called Four Loko, CWU President James L. Gaudino said at a news conference Monday.
Other students mixed the drink with additional alcohol, he said.
McKenna said his office would lead an effort to ban such caffeinated malt liquors this year after a previous proposal died in the state Legislature.
"It's time to bring an end to the sale of alcoholic energy drinks," McKenna said.
"They're marketed to kids by using fruit flavors that mask the taste of alcohol, and they have such high levels of stimulants that people have no idea how inebriated they really are."
McKenna said he wants to lead a national push to restrict the sales of the drinks.
Four Loko is made by Phusion Projects Inc., of Chicago.
It comes in several varieties, including fruit punch and blue raspberry.
A message left with the company was not immediately returned.
A 23.5-ounce can of Four Loko sells for about $2.50 and has an alcohol content of 12 percent, making it comparable to drinking five to six beers.
The caffeine in the drink can also suspend the effects of alcohol consumption, allowing a person to consume more than usual, officials said.
All the students who were hospitalized were freshmen ranging in age from 17 to 19, and they were inexperienced drinkers, Gaudino said.
A female student nearly died, he said.
The students have recovered and are back in classes.

Ever heard of a hangover remedy known as....wait for it....COFFEE!!?!?!? And guess what is in coffee? You guessed it...caffeine. The effects of caffeine can stave off the effects of alcohol; however, once THOSE effects wear off, they can actually make the effects of alcohol WORSE. See how that works?
Learn about it, son.
