4 Locos

[green-lantern]

Would anyone like to move to Canada with me? I need a change in government.

Canada is more liberal than the states. Agentoblivious is a good example

The people get what they deserve. They wanted change and they got it. I tell you what, the FDA it trying to take control of anything you ingest. It will get worse with them.

My local liquor store voluntarily pulled it already, can't say I blame them, I think this stuff is awful. It all started 4-5 years ago with Sparxx or whatever it was, I remember kids bringing them into class, no concealing or anything, because nobody assumed it contained alcohol.

In my opinion, this stuff doesn't need a Federal ban, but it is a horrid product. Just like drinking tons of red bull will give you hard palpitations, 'uppers' and 'downers' taken at the same time have nasty effects on your system. I've known quite a few people that have ended up in a hospital bed after a night with too many jaeger bombs or vodka red bulls.

I don't drink this Loko stuff but at $1.99/can and some people not even IDing young kids when selling it, it's a recipe for disaster, as evidenced. I'm glad it's being pulled from shelves voluntarily by some stores. Of course, one can easily drive over to the ghetto and find gas stations selling all varieties.

whatever kids should be able to buy crack... you guys are socialists

don't tread on me...

I can't imagine drinking enough red bull and vodka to end up in the hospital. Of course I'm not a kiddo that doesn't know when to stop either. I used to drink Sparxx too, but the taste turned me off pretty quick. Before Sparxx, they had regular "four", it was on and off the shelves real quick due to the wormwood controversy. But yeah, I can see where inexpereinced drinkers could get themselves in real trouble, real quick.

I go through a case of red bull(at least) and a few bottles of cherry vodka every weekend(split between my wife & I). Cherry bombs > Jager bombs. I had my fill of Jager back in high school and college.

I can't either, but it has happened. That much caffeine in your system is just overload. Knowing when to stop is the differentiator between responsible persons and irresponsibles persons, but the stuff is still bad for you. I had a buddy who worked construction as a supervisor, he'd have 2-3 Monsters a day. One morning he'd had 2 before 8am, he was shaking so bad whil operating machinery they sent him home.

Four Loko seems to have some fad status with younger people, because it's cheap and is considered a 'blackout in a can'. I talk to some of the younger guys from my fraternity chapter who are still in college and they generally pregame with 2-3 Lokos and blackout the rest of the night. While some may consider that fun, I can't help but feel no pity when I see emails about how so and so can't find their car keys, wallet, or explain what the hell happened the night prior.

And for the record, I'm no anti-drinker. My kegerator is always stocked and we generally go through a few bottles of liquor every weekend as well due to college football Saturdays and the like.

And I agree, just about anything is better than Jaeger, yet for some reason I still get suckered into taking shots every once in awhile. What is 10X better than Jaerger-Red Bull is Jaeger root beer. Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself, it's actually pretty damned good.

I should clarify that I only drink red bull on the weekend with cherry vodka. Outside of that, I am 100% caffeine free. I think people that go through nine thousand pots of coffee a week, plus drink caffeinated cola all day, are way worse than what I do. I can't stand caffeine, or uppers period. Never understood the point. Bombers don't phase me because of the upper/downer balancing act. If I tried to drink a regular old red bull....oh dear lord I can't even imagine. A Dr. Pepper will give me horrible shakes.

Vitals for my wife and I are always absolutely perfect, and we've both hit it hard over the years. We understand the fire we're playing with though.

There's no way I can bring myself to drink Jager anymore, period. Budweiser, cherry bombs, and shine are the only thing I will drink if I'm looking for a buzz.
