Episode description

When Four Loko mania reached mainstream fever pitch in 2010, Doctor Joshua Sharfstein was the principal deputy commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. He joins Taplines today to tell a side of the story that got lost in the sauce as the chaotic, cash-rich, caffeinated first act of Four Loko came to a close: how the agency gathered the facts, determined its jurisdiction, and weighed its response to this hugely popular, highly volatile new drink.
