Nearly half of poison control calls for supersized alcopops involve underage drinkers

Supersized alcopops are ready-to-drink flavored alcoholic beverages that have up to five times the alcohol content of beer and appear to be marketed toward young drinkers.

Better regulation of their alcohol content and retail availability is urgently needed to protect youth, experts say.
