Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is pushing to get 4 loko banned. Enjoy it now, while you can.

^^ heard about that on the news the other day. All because some girl from Long Island died after drinking it. Of course, it is entirely the fault of the beverage, and not the irresponsible drinking habits of most of our generation. This shit wouldn't need to be banned anywhere if people just paid attention to what the hell they were doing.

So do the bans go into effect immediately or will we have a few days to fight the bums at gas stations for their remaining supply? (I know this info is somewhere but it is almost 5 and I am lazy.) 11/11/2010 4:48:55 PM |

I wonder if this will go over like when Obama got into office. Every redneck went and stocked up on ammunition from local stores, which soon ran out of supply.
Except now it will be Four Lokos cases, with college kids and people in their 20's buying out gas stations 11/11/2010 4:57:48 PM |

this is one of the articles that mentions the girl from LI that died from this stuff. Some sites say she was 18 at the time, others say she was 17. I say, wtf was she doing drinking this crap to begin with? Also, it is nearly impossible to find an article about the girl's death-by-four-loko that is not primarily about Chuck Schumer.

aea All Amurican 5269 Posts user info edit post |
^ according to this article, one can of four loko has as much alcohol as a sixpack of beer (though likely VERY light beer) and caffeine as four cups of coffee. On the news here they said it was equivalent to 4 beers and 2 strong cups of coffee. I don't know who's correct, but either way, one can has the effect of a few vodka-bulls.

aea All Amurican 5269 Posts user info edit post |
I think it's more like 3-4 beers and 1.5-2 cups of coffee at most. But that's just because I think the media likes to sensationalize everything they get their grubby little paws on. 11/12/2010 8:47:22 AM |
AndyMac All American 31922 Posts user info edit post |
It's 4 "ice" beers or 5-6 "light" beers. A can of loko has 2.88 ounces of alcohol, a 6 pack of bud light has 3.02 ounces of alcohol.
I don't know about the caffeine. 11/12/2010 9:21:18 AM |
quagmire02 All American 44225 Posts user info edit post |
yeah, they're not required to put the amount of caffeine on the label...i had made the guess in another thread of a minimum of 200mg (and likely around 300mg) of caffeine, which is 2-3 espressos or 2-2.5 cups of drip 11/12/2010 9:32:01 AM |

I have pretty much stopped drinking it as well...except maybe I'll chug one before a football game. I'm more concerned about what this says for the public, in that they have absolutely no regard for holding idiotic teens responsible for their actions.
Its like the media is saying Four Lokos goes into high schools and forces these drinks into the cafeterias. Idiots.
I found this pretty retarded in general though
Quote : | "On Monday, Lower East Side bar owner Eddie Huang was forced to cancel a Four Loko “All-you-can-drink” event after learning the booze binge party violated a state rule. His plan was to charge $15 for unlimited amounts of the cocktail mixed with Hennessy cognac." |
Seriously? The average person can't handle more than 2 of these things, and you're going to mix in cognac?

Truth. The media oligopoly's irresponsible fear-mongering definitely contributes to this legislative witch-hunt.
I saw an ABC11 news story about Four Loko last night where they had two elderly ladies, one of whom was a [retired?] nurse, explain their "study" about Four Loko, in which they drank some and monitored their vital signs. One of the old lady's blood pressure went up, and they couldn't finish a whole can. Based on this "objective reporting", we should ban these drinks. THEY ARE THE DEVIL!

This girl is in high school and obviously drinking 4 lokos and brave enough to post pictures on facebook with all her friends. Doesn't the internet makes it easier to watch over your kids? I think some parents should start paying more attention.
