It is morally very doubtful - but not necessarily only because of the target group - "around" the legal age. Main problem is - exactly these products [and many more] are just promoting irresponsible drinking and the abuse of alcohol! Even people who don't "like" the taste of alcohol...

Daniel, for me Blue Curaçao is nothing else than an inferior product mixed with food coloring. Hell - I guess nobody believes, that it is made by "blue_flesh_oranges"... I think you have to make a decision for yourself of using artificial color or not. Sometimes you have to do compromises...

I am not so sure, if Bacardi is really awful or if it is just a trend to hate Bacardi. Well I won't buy the Bacardi "Superior" for myself [nor would I buy Havana Club Añejo blanco - though I like Matusalem Platino or even better Elements 8 platinum]. I still have a bottle Facundo...
