No_99_Melee Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 For those of you who don't know a Four Loko is a alcoholic drink + energy drink smashed into a 23.5 Oz container (12% alcohol). It comes in 9 different flavors: Grape, Fruit punch, Orange Blend, Watermelon, Blue raspberry, Lemonade, Cranberry, Cranberry lemonade and Lemon Lime. The FDA is currently investigating the manufacturer of the drink to find out if drinking caffeine induced alcohol is safe for anyone. It was also banned in a college in New Jersey after it had hospitalized several of its students. Last night I had one of these things and holy shnikees it was possibly the most intense thing I've drank. Obviously my body thought so as well because for the first time ever I threw up from drinking. So my question to you is do you think they should be banned? Personally hell yes they should be banned. I think if I ever have another one of those things I will need my stomach pumped. PS: Try one! :thumbsup: PSS: Watermelon is the best flavor.

Bows Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Lemon is the best, and no, I don't think it should be. If you already know that an energy drink or a certain alcoholic beverage is hard on you (or any alcohol at all for that matter) you really shouldn't smash them together thinking it's ok.

OldJoe Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Should not be banned. It's your own responsibility to drink responsible.

Kirbyallstar Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Whats the difference between a four loko and a Jägerbomb? Or a four loko and a vodka + red bull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_99_Melee Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Should not be banned. It's your own responsibility to drink responsible.

Nadril Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Should not be banned. It's your own responsibility to drink responsible. So with your logic crack/meth/heroine etc. should be legalized and people should just be responsible? That's a bit of a jump isn't it? I mean going from two things that are plenty legal put together to, well, meth. I don't see how this is any different than like a vodka + redbull so unless something is way different it shouldn't be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with your logic crack/meth/heroine etc. should be legalized and people should just be responsible?Oh god damn it. No they should not be legal. If you've never tried alcohol+energy drink before, why try a ready bottle? It would be better to mix vodka+energy drink on your own, since you'll know how much you've put in. Just because some [cabbage] happened to you, doesn't mean all others should pay. You could cross out energy drink and start on a crusade on alcohol, something that's caused an enormous amount of deaths and suffering, but just because it get's out of hand for some people doesn't mean we all should have to pay the price of getting the product banned.And speaking of meth, i can make it in my house by products in the store, should you ban them too?

obfuscator Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Yeah, it should be legal. If you want to be stupid enough to drink it, then go ahead. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed to your first statement. Hell no I need my meth. I see what you're getting at though, but if meth is illegal to sell made why can't it be the same for Jagerbombs/FourLokos?

Zierro Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Mixing a stimulant with a depressant doesn't sound too safe: "Students whose motor skills, visual reaction times, and judgment are impaired by alcohol may not perceive that they are intoxicated as readily when they're also ingesting a stimulant," said O'Brien. "Only the symptoms of drunkenness are reduced but not the drunkenness. They can't tell if they're drunk; they can't tell if someone else is drunk. So they get hurt, or they hurt someone else." "Mixing powerful stimulants contained in some energy drinks with depressants in alcohol could cause cardiopulmonary or cardiovascular failures, said David Pearson, a researcher in the Human Performance Laboratory." So why does meth cross the line, but caffeine+alcohol drinks do not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could happen with very strong energy drinks too. It really just a case of being stupid enough to do stupid things with drinks like these. Drinking them responsibly is fine.

stevepole Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Alcohol with some caffeine in it is not equivalent to methamphetamine. Quote of truth. Comparing four lokos/ alcohol to meth is silly to me. The two are completely different substances with two completely different affects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Should not be banned. It's your own responsibility to drink responsible.This. Its your body, people should learn to look after it. If you think it'll make you throw up, hospitalized etc, dont drink it. Simple as that. However it if is THAT dangerous, perhaps they should reconsider not selling it. Especially if it has immense side effects etc from just 1 drink on so many people. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 YES. I just celebrated my 21st, pregamed with Four Loko at the frat. God, nothing about last night was good. I went for the bars for the first time, don't remember it, and got kicked out within half an hour. Admittedly I also had 12 shots of liquor (only hit 18 drinks), but the Four Loko started the night.
