Gee - I guess Four Lokos is history now that college administrations are banning them, right? Like no one can mix an energy drink with, say, Everclear?

Vodka and red bull, rum and coke, irish coffee, etc.....people have been mixing alcohol and caffeine for a while now. Anyone wishing to ban four lokos is pretty much a hypocrite.

People want to ban Four Lokos because they are awesome, why else do you think cocaine is banned?

They sound like Mike's HARDER Lemonade. I drank like 6 of those 1 night and got fucked up pretty bad.

Even if he did, they banned Cocaine (the energy drink) due to strong FDA pressure considering the name (I believe).

A hypocrite? That would mean that people wanting to ban them were actually drinking them. I think the word you were looking for is dumbass (idiot, moron, etc).Y-Town Steelhound;552250 wrote:Vodka and red bull, rum and coke, irish coffee, etc.....people have been mixing alcohol and caffeine for a while now.

This will make you never want to drink one again... I have 3 in my room and want to pour them down the drain after watching this.

I guess you're right....my mistake. I can't believe states are actually banning them.
BTW, I heard that they sell Four Lokos in kegs for about 130 a keg. Now THAT would be a hell of a party.

How about a Four Loko Hairy Buffalo Party if that was even possible. FUN.

I drank 2 last night and was actually pretty drunk. They didn't taste nearly as bad as everyone said they do. The orange one I had tasted like what a jack and orange crush would taste like. I'll probably never drink one again because I was super dehydrated this morning, but I can now say that I've had 1.

Our Loko party last night was a complete success. One of the best nights I've had in a looooooong time. I think the Lemonade flavor might be my favorite.

They aren't officially banned in Ohio but the company that makes Four Loko has decided to stop distributing them in Ohio. If they didn't stop distributing them in Ohio then they would be banned. Better buy them while they are still in stock at your local gas station or liquor store!

This drink is quickly becoming a fad. It won't be around this time next year. Measures put in place will take it down, which is where it should be.

Why is that "where it should be?"
Don't get me wrong, free market will most assuredly keep this from having a long lifespan, but why SHOULD that be the case?

I'm 39 freakin years old, I don't need a Nanny! In fact, I'm the nanny at my house (take care of parents). I'm responsible, pay my bills, stay out of trouble, don't do drugs, drink only occasionally. If I want to drink a drink like this, I don't need some pompous bureaucrat tell me what I can or cannot drink.
