no they didn't eliminate shit. all the ban will do is teach kids how to mix no-doz and monster together then add cheap liquor (thank youtube).

$2 a can for 84 cans, after the ban, they're almost guaranteed to sell for $4 or $5... run out to parties with two each, sell them off, .... profit!
strangely ciggarettes come to mind. thousands dead to four lokos 1 or 2 who were breaking the law and mixing with pills probably when they died. .
No.
Youtube has shown that for years. They also show idiotic things like piss sniffing, hypoxia, and other brainless ways to "get high"
The ban cannot be blamed for kids jumping to other stuff that was already around.
It's funny how nobody gave a shit when Joose entered the market, everyone was suddenly up in arms when the media hyped FL up. No matter what facts you bring to the table, it's simple. There are MANY ways to get at least as fucked up as you can with FL, (and for cheap) and many taste a lot better. Just admit you're a product of media hype, ignorance, and sensationalism.
Uh no it isn't. It's 12% APV, 24 proof. 24 oz right? So that ain't shit. Not jack shit. like I said. A few shots are stronger than ONE Four Loko. Sorry, but like I said I don't see this putting people down like they say it is. Seems like a bunch of idiots who can't hold their liquor are pounding these things and getting it banned. This would happen with ANY alcohol. If Four Loko didn't exist they would be trying to ban energy drinks because people are doing jagger bombs with redbull. I am 25 years old, I am not some old long time drinker.
The average beer is 5% ABV. Light beer can be even less.
5% -> 12% = 2.4X
2 x 2.4 = 4.8 (round to 5).
You have 5 beers in a can.
No, not jack. It is a lot of shit. It is pretty much almost a 6 pack in a can. A can that you can easily consume, even casually (no chug) in 30 minutes.
Have two in an hour and you are gonna start hurting.

You have 2 in one hour. You weigh 150lbs. Your BAC is now topping 0.25%.
"Judgment extremely impaired".
Have one more in an hour, another 5 drinks, and subtract 0.015
0.026*15-2*.015 (2 hour span) = 0.36. You are going to the hospital bubbie..
6 shots are stronger. 6.
6 is not a "few shots". Having 11 shots in an hour is a LOT of alcohol.
11 shots x 1.5oz/shot = 16.5 oz.
16.5oz = 480ml You just downed 2/3 of a bottle of 80 proof in 1 hour. You drink that much hard liquor, you KNOW it.
You drink 2 cans of this... well you will know it in a minute or two, but you really do not have as good an idea about how much you just consumed.
Yes. They are idiots, and that is why it is banned. We need to save the idiots, or the poor kids with so little self esteem that they will drink what their "friends" tell them to to gain approval, that's why they have banned it.
Wow, 25, here's your medal old man.
4 loko did NOT exist 15 years ago when they were doing these Bull+Vodka mixers. There were no real incidents like the ones that Loco has prompted. Therefore they did not ban it.
It is not idiot proof, but somehow mixing your own drink seems to be an idiot deterrent.
Thanks for the rundown Ninjahead, said it better than myself.
So you prefer living in a nanny state where any product that kids MIGHT get their hands on and MIGHT get drunk on (ZOMG) MUST be taken from the hands of adults? I've watched alcohol ruin lives. My cousin drank herself to death with vodka. Do I feel that vodka was to blame? No. She shouldn't have allowed it (through whatever amount of control she had) to get to that point. I smoked way too much pot when I was young and it robbed me of ambition. Was it the pot's fault? No, it was fucking mine.
It's simple. It's been easy for kids to get fucked up since the beginning of society. I got SHITfaced drunk many many times as a kid. I drank beer, liquor, and whatever else. I didn't often like the taste of it, or like how much beer it took to get shitty, but you know what? I just mixed it with something or *gasp* drank more fucking beer! We used to do shots, use a beer bong, and there were even times when I was worried my friend got alcohol poisoning. And guess what? There was no such thing as four loko. Would I have drunk it then? Fuck yeah. Would it have been any worse than the shit that I did in its absence? Fuck no.
The simple fact is that kids will do what they need to do to get drunk. The insane amount of fright and hype behind this witch hunt because it's simply a bit easier to drink is frankly sad. I enjoy four loko occasionally, and I've found that it doesn't get me any drunker than any other type of alcohol. If you want to kill yourself drinking, the myriad of choices out there (tasty or no tasty) is there because we are a free country, with the freedom to exercise choice. The fact that you guys are willing to sacrifice freedom and start down that slippery slope of bannage because it MAY be easier for a tiny fraction of the populace to drink themselves into a night hugging a toilet with a product that has been around for years and years in many forms is just too bad.
Seriously I have to agree. I don't know what kind of partying these people are doing, but there's no way 1 four loko is making people black out. Fuck there's no way "heavy drinkers" should be phased after two, even if they drank that shit in 30 minutes. I've literally chugged 5ths and not blacked out, I'm not a light weight, but I know people who can hold their liquor better than I.
bro, too much logic. It's FAR better to inform every person out there that there's a supposedly delicious beverage called 4 loko that'll FUCK YOU UP and to stock up NOW before the FDA gets it's hands on it.
The best part is that it's still gonna be there, just without caffeine. I've seriously been considering making a video of me after one and two lokos. Not so sure I want to drink three.
We bought seven cases of this shit, mostly half to get shitfaced on, and the other half to make back the money. $2 a can for 84 cans, after the ban, they're almost guaranteed to sell for $4 or $5... run out to parties with two each, sell them off, .... profit!

shens to the MAX!
You just wasted your time. My post is about alcohol content. My post has nothing to do with the law, ethics, morals, dumb college kids, etc.
The best part is that it's still gonna be there, just without caffeine. I've seriously been considering making a video of me after one and two lokos. Not so sure I want to drink three.
BAC .20%:
You may feel confused, dazed, or otherwise disoriented. You need help to stand up or walk. If you hurt yourself at this point, you probably won't realize it because you won't feel pain. Even if you are aware that you've injured yourself, you probably won't do anything about it. At this point you may experience nausea and start vomiting. Your gag reflex is impaired, so you could choke if you throw up. Since blackouts are likely at this level, you may not remember any of this.
BAC .25%:
All mental, physical, and sensory functions are severely impaired. You're emotionally numb. There's an increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit and of seriously injuring yourself by falling or other accidents.
bfdd, you just admitted to driving drunk.
GG!
Well obviously I was drunk enough to drive Ninjahedge or I wouldn't have drove.
Now, as for the rest? Like I said, if this was so easy to make, why were so few making it? If this has been around with Red Bull and Vodka, why were there so few incidents of college students unconcious on floors because of that? This is not forbidding alcohol, or caffene, or brightly colored cans at a cheap price.
