tl;dr Underage College kids we're hospitalized after binge drinking Four-Loko's mixed with Vodka. Central Washington University banned booze on Campus, Washington State Attorney General wants Four-Loko's banned from stores. They're calling it, "Blackout In a Can"

This is stupid. You can't blame the company and push for it to be banned. The kids and again KIDS were binge drinking it with Vodka. What the hell did you expect to happen? I can understand the College Banning booze, but the State Attorney General calling to have it banned? Shut the fuck up.

That's moronic. That's ostensibly like telling people that they can't have a boilermaker. Obviously they're already retarded because they haven't learned not to mix uppers and downers responsibly.

Ughhhh. One 4-Loko will F-up your bowels...I'm talking anal leakage. I don't even want to think about binge drinking it with vodka.

Why ban it? Idiot college kids will continue to be idiot college kids. Just because one fucking moron can't control themselves, we all must suffer the consequences.

Forgive my harshness, but I think this is a prime example of what's wrong in this country-- no personal accountability. Everyone wants to be the ass and not have it be their fault.

I just think Four-Loko should be banned because it tastes like shit, not because a bunch of idiot college students blacked out and went to the hospital. If you read on a can it says "12% Alcohol" and it's their own damn fault for mixing it with Vodka.

It's 12% alcohol and one can has as much caffeine as two cans of soda. The shit probably should be banned, and is probably banned in MA due to caffeine content.

Or, you know, people could drink responsibly. Oh, wait, we're in the US. NM

I could care less if someone wants to ban them, it doesn't affect me. The only people I see drinking them are actual bums or really poor drug addicts/alcoholics.

So that's why I keep hearing about those 4-Lokos.

I've had them, and that stuff called Joose which is the same thing, they're not fun, you get really drunk but the caffeine fights back and forth with it, always made me feel really shitty. Just stick to regular beer.

Yeah caffeine and booze really shouldn't go together I am with you on this. Especially in such high contents.

That's like Drug Use 101: Don't mix uppers and downers.

I should brew my own booze and market it as Blackout in a can, the logo can be me winking suggestively.

I've had a Joose and a Four-Loko, I really didn't care for either.

If I'm really that broke and really need to drink for some reason I can't think of, I'll go back to MD 20/20.

Or if you're going to do it, make sure that you don't have them really balanced. A touch of one and a lot of another isn't going to kill you directly.

I traded a Four-Loko that I bought for two Sam Adams... worth the trade...

Only the jocks and dumbshit rich kids drink four loko. It tastes good, but the alcohol percentage is totally bad news. It's like a gas station vodka redbull.

Posted: Oct 27 2010 09:45 pm

If you drink two or three Four-Lokos, you are guaranteed to be the life of the party. Fruit Punch is the best flavor, but like I said, you'll pay for it in the morning when your shit looks like someone said "I don't know" on Nickelodeon.

I prefer drinking TGV. What's that, other than that super-fast train that runs through Europe? Well, it's a shot of tequila, a shot of gin and a shot of vodka. One after another, no mixing, pussies can add ice. Go on, I dare you get it down in one gulp.

Posted: Oct 28 2010 09:01 am

I could do it, but that's nothing to be proud of.

Posted: Oct 28 2010 10:28 am

I wouldn't want to do it. They made me do a Four Horseman on my 21st Birthday, Shot of Johnny, Jack, Jim, and Jose.

I was pretty sure I was going to die. No like litteraly die.
