And yes. The caffeine in the first one makes you not feel the effects until later, at which point you might have already consumed more. So when it hits you, you might already by drunk.

But my point is, this is personal responsibility. I can legally buy some cheap ass vodka and 5 hour energy drinks and mix them and have a combination 10times more dangerous than a 4 loko....so is the government gonna ban them too???

I think Sarah Palin is the scarlet whore of Revelations. I voted for Obama. I still can't understand why the fuck Americans - some of the most privileged, spoiled, and pampered persons in the entire world -are so fixated with owning assault rifles and "defending der freedoms from evil commies/the king of england/zombies!".(eventhough I like guns)

But I still oppose banning these products just because someone, somewhere, abused it and was harmed as a result.

i agree dont be stupid about it, and yea that was my redline and vodka comment, you can do much worse but kids are dumb these days and have no control or common sense, and sense i dont drink 4 lokos i could really care less.

this is what i like

placing a more "menacing" label on 4lokos wouldnt do anything. its popular, available and most importantly, cheap as hell. i dont think that your comparison with cigarettes is applicable, cigarettes dont impair your ability to do anything plus it isnt like everyone at a party is smoking and peer pressuring you to have a stog like at a college party (where this is happening for the most part) compared to alcohol. comparing peanut allergy deaths to alcohol related deaths is not comparable either; peanuts are a natural and in large part, a safe to consume substance. by chance there are people that have severe allergies to them and subsequently die as a result of mistaken consumption. you wouldnt ban peanuts because BILLIONS more people are not allergic to them and there are no negative consequences of consuming them.

4lokos could be banned because they are harming and being consumed by underaged drinkers by and large which is both illegal and dangerous not only to the drinker but for others around them. obviously you can purchase alcohol legally (im assuming) and you are free to buy 5 hour energies and popov if you really want to but the group that is most effected by these drinks are 18 and 19 year olds who havent had as much experience with alcohol as you have (again assuming). if hypothetically you did mix popov and 5 hour energy and made some crazy drink you would know what youre getting yourself into and it would probably taste terrible. the whole point of 4lokos is that it tastes GOOD and you wont taste the alcohol. you could tell whoever is drinking them, this drink is bad for you and will make you sick, etc, but when an underaged and new drinker has that fruity non alcoholic taste hit their lips and they dont feel the effects of the alcohol immediately, ill bet they would go for another one and when they do feel it theyre not gonna remember much the next day.


i agree with you that whoever is drinking this has the personal responsibility to keep under control but what im reading is that they lose that when all the sugars/caffeine/etc hits them and they think theyre okay and im sure thats not hard to imagine with...600+ calories, the equivalent of two cups of coffee worth of caffeine and god knows how much sugar in them.

im not really all for banning things but if its clearly harming and promoting unsafe behavior then its doing more harm than good. also sorry if im coming off like an asshole, just putting in my two cents.

[ZenkiKid]

Ive never had one. I personally think its no fun if you get fucked over from just 1-2 of these things. But I have heard that this drink does take you to a different place.

[CleanAndLegit]

its whatever honestly, theyer somewhat good when your already buzzing, or stoned lol
anyway banning it is pretty dumb, but in the end who gives a fuhh theres plenty of other drinks just like it

[tricky_ab]

Energy drinks taste like ass in general..Just saying...

Oh and remember when I was younger traveling in Europe when Red Bull first came out. Damn Red Bull and vodka messed me up proper. The thing is you never really feel the alcohol when you drink it mixed with energy drinks. Never again after that....

4lokos is the cheapest way to get drunk and the only good flavor is lemonade. i usually just drink one can to get my night started and a beautiful (hennessey + grand marnier) once in the club, and another random drink to keep my buzz going.

for the people that have consumed, everytime my friends and i pound a can within 10mins, does your chest hurt? that's another reason why i dont drink it fast anymore.

i wasnt asleep, just too messed up on speed and heroin

[WanganRunner]

This is stupid. Why not ban vodka & rockstar then? That will get you fucked up a LOT quicker.

Kids are dumb. If some idiot is going to drink a can of this and get shitfaced, he'd just drink something else and get shitfaced if this gets banned.

You can't legislate stupidity.

[mike[pistonless]]

you wanna gett a better effect pound 2 40s smoke a bowl then walk into formula d and have all the free nos you can get, then you cant sleep cause of the kidney pains lol.


nahh but 4loko is fucking nasty ill stick to old english n 211s no need to suffer through drinking windex when tasty beer tastes just as good and gives the same effect without that horrible 4loko hangover you get the next day lol

Drank four of these four lokos in a night at a party few months back (was completely gone) and the worst hangover in my life the next morning.

Never drank it since or any caffeinated alcoholic beverage... Beer and liquor will suffice

The problem with this product is the huge amounts of caffeine in it. You don't realize how drunk you are getting because the caffeine masks the effect. So it greatly increases your chance of getting alcohol poisoning because you drink more to get the same buzz as before. Obviously, no one can prevent people from making red bull and vodka, but that doesn't mean that there should be a product on the market with more caffeine than a 6-pack of soda mixed with more alcohol than a bottle of wine. The fact that all of that is packed into a single can, suggests that it is a single serving, leading people to drink more than 1 and greatly endangering their health. One can over 30 minutes is enough for a 100-lb woman to risk alcohol poisoning.

you should get one then pretty sure youd be the coolest person in high school . Once again people they ARE NOT BANNED, changing the formula. WHO cares redbull vodka rockstar vodka all the same you can still get your super healthy mix of energy and alc haha. Who ever said goose is over rated....your so right i think EFFEN is smoother, it actually tasted good Belvedere was pretty good popov or what ever IS the nastiest alc ive ever had Bacardi isnt much better imo absolute it ok for the price, patron is legit how ever i go for quality/taste not for the alc thats feat in the most rap songs hehe, and im a vodka man beers get the pass too

[illxs14]

that song is legit! haha
never liked 4loko, joose, or sparks.
jager and monster was bomb though!

kids will just find other shit to chug.
so long "blasted on a budget!"

[RhdjokerNJ]

4lokos get you really drunk. But after drinking them day after day at parties it messes with your heart and you can't sleep. They don't taste that good either. But I'd rather drink beers, jäger bombs, or captain and coke haha.
