I don't understand how it's possible to even ban a specific brand of product.
Personally, I think it gets so much hype because it's popular with younger people, but it doesn't seem anymore dangerous than any other caffeinated alcoholic drink, except for maybe that it actually doesn't taste bad?
All of these kids are trying to act like Four Loko does something different than normal alcohol... But it's really the same except you're not tired. You drink too much, you black out, you wake up naked in someone's bed... Pretty sure the same thing happens with any other drink in excess..
I do enjoy the Four Loko though.
