The rationale given by the US FDA for their recent ban on certain alcoholic energy drink products, is this:

"Caffeine appears to mask some of the sensory cues an individual might normally rely on to determine his/her level of intoxication. The scientific literature suggests that individuals drinking such beverages may consume more alcohol per drinking occasion, a situation that is particularly dangerous for naïve drinkers."
