Babylon, at it again.
You're not going to allow this slander, are you?
hells to the yeah. lookin good
“I’ve talked to parents who were shocked because the can was in their refrigerator and they didn’t realize it was an alcoholic beverage,” Dr. Reihart said.
heh heh heh
if there were a comment box on that article, i'm sure it would be full of well reasoned, insightful responses from the bicycle polo community.
North Babylon doesn't allow this stuff anyway. Trips to Zion would not be the same though.
cover of the local Metro here a few days ago:
After seeing how gainfully employed, educated, nice-guy polo players act after a can or two, I can only imagine what your average twentysomething gets into with a can of Four.

via cnn: FDA calls 7 caffeine-alcohol drinks unsafe
One of the companies that received warning letters was Phusion Projects, of Chicago, Illinois, which makes Four Loko -- a drink nicknamed "blackout in a can" by some users. The company announced Tuesday that it was dropping caffeine and two other ingredients, guarana and taurine, from Four Loko in the face of "a difficult and politically-charged regulatory environment."
and the cowbell was really the death knell of four loko. let the Midwest open in lexington be remembered as that last tournament where four loko flowed freely and loko-ly.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/16/AR201011...
It's official. From this juncture, continuing to drink this stems from either nostalgia or spite.
Ben- I say we contact Four Loko and have them sponsor us so they can legally give us all the stuff that has been made with caffeine that they can't sell. After all, they are a Chicago company. : )
just as we were close to getting them to sponsor our next tournament.
oh well, i just need to get all these guys instead:

We don't have Four Loko in Australia so the homebrew is my only option to try this mystical beverage. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) we don't have malt liquor here either. Can anyone suggest another alcohol I could substitute instead?
do yourself a favor. don't try to replicate the taste/effects of four loko. if you really want to experience it, find the most disgusting alcoholic drink in australia, buy a 22 ounce container of it, drink half of it, fill it back up with piss, drink the alcohol/piss mixture, then snort a line of an upper of your choice (meth, cocaine, a.d.d. medication, etc). that will pretty much mimic the four loko experience.
The caffeine may be comparable but the alcohol content of that malt liquor is only 8%. Mixed with the sprite and monster and it becomes way less.
Plus, you'd spend a fortune! Four loko was good because it was cost effective. The world is collapsing, there's nothing we can do but watch it die.
Add everclear to the mixture! That should do the trick.
Wasn't sure what everclear was so I had to look it up.. 95% alcohol - sounds perfect! Also, according to wikipedia..
"Everclear is perhaps the best cleaner for the restoration of tobacco smoking pipes."
Best way to mimic 4 loco sounds like it would be 3 loco.which is my choice of cocktail to start a tournament without the blackout . Half bottle of champagne , 2 shots of espresso in whichever form pleases your palate and a snickers bar.Continue drinking beer for rest of day with occasional shot thrown in to maintain lubricicity.
lemonade four loko + sweet tea vodka = wacky palmer

"Recycled" sure we get it.

RICHMOND, Va. – Truckloads of Four Loko and other alcohol-laced energy drinks are being recycled into ethanol and other products after federal authorities told manufacturers the beverages were dangerous and caused users to become "wide-awake drunk."
im not really missing the irregular heartbeats the next day, u guys voted for change 2 years ago
John and Loko
This guy is pretty bummed that they got rid of the caffeine.
