Share Print Font: +-OLYMPIA, Wash.-- The Washington State Liquor Control Board voted to ban the sale of alcoholic energy drinks.

The ban goes into effect on Nov. 18.

"The Liquor Control Board has a duty to protect the safety of the people of Washington state," Gov. Chris Gregoire said at a press conference. "It has fulfilled that duty by banning these drinks."

"We're taking action to keep these drinks out of young peoples' hands and keep young people out of our emergency rooms," she said.

The vote this morning comes after nine underage students at Central Washington University became dangerously ill after consuming a caffeinated malt beverage called Four Loko at a party in Roslyn on Oct. 8. Nine students went to the hospital and one ended up in the intensive care unit.

The blood alcohol levels of the students who were hospitalized ranged from 0.123 to 0.35. A blood alcohol content of 0.3 and above is considered potentially fatal.

CWU President James Guadino said at the press conference that the students say they don't know how many of alcoholic energy drinks they consumed.
