Four Loko

Heard so much about this stuff from various places I had to try it. I bought 2 blue raspberry and 2 fruit punches. They both tasted horrible but the fruit punch was truly disgusting. That said I drank 2 in 2 hours and was decently drunk, the 3rd one had me [censored]ed up and drinking the 4th one in 4 hours had me blacked out and puking shortly after finishing it. I was so [censored]ed up that I was trying to watch the end of the USC game and couldn't focus enough to see the tv. I saw blurs but couldn't distinguish much else. Won't drink "Lokos" again.....

When reached for comment, Xiao Ye?s Eddie Huang, an authority on the subject, had this to offer:

Perfect timing. We've actually been stockpiling Four Loko for the apocalypse. From now on at Xiao Ye, Four Loko Thursdays. 6pm to 11pm all you can drink Four Loko $15. Four Loko is not a drink, it is chlorine in the gene pool. It weeds out all the people unfit for the next generation, like Darwin in a can. General Loko over and out...

I must be getting old, also. Never heard of, or have seen, this stuff.

I do remember something named sisco (sp?) when I was growing up in Ohio that you had to cross the border into KY to get because the sale of it was banned. I think that stuff was borderline moonshine, though, not some some fruity enrgy drink type of thing.

So, the State authority is telling me what I can and cannot drink even though its not a banned substance?

Hilarious, now because a few upper middle class kids get their claws on the shit and either have alcohol poisoning or do some stupid shit we have to pass a law.

Again, like I said - youth (and adults alike) we're doing just fine getting alcohol poisoning before we had Loko.

I might not like the shit, but I will absolutely take a stance against Government telling me what I can and cannot ingest so long as it still remains a legal food/beverage/substance.

edit: Friend said it best "we're throwing laws at people to protect them from their own idiocy it appears".

double edit: Fucking article even says: "These drinks pose a serious healthy and safety risk to American youth".

So let me get this straight, does that finally acknowledge that young American's far and wide drink? (I can't think of one person in highschool that actually didn't drink. Even the little band geeks who we're sheltered drank wine coolers)

If not, the word "youth" is being used in a severely wrong manner.
Last I checked, when I turn 21 I'm not longer a "minor".... shit, when I turn 18 I'm no longer a "minor" - and therefore, not youth. So your essentially telling me I"m a youth until what age then?

Well, in your case specifically, until you reside here:

Doesn't that pretty much make it a banned substance by definition? :)

No substance in the can is controlled = not illegal. Yet that putrid state to the north of my own has "banned" its sale.

I'm curious as to see what other little knacks are going to fly out of the window soon to keep American's safe or "healthy".


Ben Franklin said it best.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty
to purchase a little Temporary Safety,
deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"

Safety, to me, involves personal choice. I can operate machinery (which are dangerous in nature) at a rather safe level. Driving a car, everyday is one of those. 90% of the people in this country can't drive worth shit - fortunately I'm not one of them. (And yes, I can be brash/arrogant and make that claim.)

However you don't see the federal government restricting the use of vehicles because of the number of deaths in car accidents now do you? And it's just as easy to have ready access to a car at 16 as it can be getting alcohol. Driving involves what most of these ritards could have avoided (alcohol poisoning) - It's called personal choice.

So by telling me I can't have a drink because it poses a "safety risk" is a crock of bullshit, and placing a specific limit on my personal choices and essentially my freedom's.

Might as well place a ban life itself for Christ sake...

This is stupid, and of course I don't support banning this crap. On the other hand, if you draw a line in the sand over some fruity-tasting caffeine-laden hooch, I think you're fighting the wrong battle.

Bullshit. It's not about the hooch. It's about the government protecting me from myself. I can buy a bottle of NO-DOZ and a bottle of whiskey and it's perfectly legal. This shit is ridiculous.
