LANSING -- The Michigan Liquor Control Commission is moving to ban the sale of alcohol energy drinks in the state.
The commission said Thursday that drink manufacturers will be notified of the ban through an order that will take effect 30 days after it is issued.
Commissioners said the drinks should not be on Michigan shelves until there is more research done by the federal Food and Drug Administration to determine their safety.
The commission said a typical alcohol energy drink is 24 ounces and has a 12 percent alcohol content. That's a higher alcohol content than beer.
