Diageo Says Smirnoff Raw Tea Should Not Be on the Michigan Liquor Control Commission Ban List

Diageo's DEO Smirnoff Raw Tea was taken off the market more than a year ago for commercial reasons and should not have been included on the Michigan Liquor Control Commission's list of banned alcohol energy drinks. Further, in accordance with Diageo's strict marketing code, Diageo never marketed Smirnoff Raw Tea as an energy drink and does not market any other brands that way or make claims on any products implying energizing, stimulating or invigorating properties.
