caffeine and alcohol

[erin]

is there caffeine in any alcoholic beverages?

[rekstout]

The coffee based drinks may have some in - I'm not sure if alcohol would denature the caffeine in some way - Tia Maria, Kaluah (not sure of spelling)

Coke and Red-Bull both contain caffeine and are common mixers but are not alcoholic in themselves. You can get an alco-pop cola drink.

To answer rekstout, alcohol would not 'denature' caffeine. To answer Erin, most alcoholic drinks are made from fruits with do not contain caffeine. I suppose it may be possible to frement coffee beans..... Otherwise it would have to be added.
