Alcoholic Energy Drink Made Maryland Woman 'Lose Mind'

For some reason the title made me laugh, probably because I associate the phrase "lose mind" with eldritch abominations somehow.
That drink is [i]psychedellic[/i] man!
[QUOTE=Miskatonic;26015405]Maybe she was just crazy.[/QUOTE]
Well she [i]was[/i] drinking four loko
Four Loko isn't to blame, it's the fucking people who think that they can down two and be absolutely fine. I'm 6'1, 160 pounds, and 1 four Loko is enough to get me good and drunk. Two for a girl her size is basically suicide. Blame her fucking friends for letting her drink two.
I'm 5'11, 180-185 pounds and one buzzes me good, two gets me drunk, and three gets me bombed.

Ecstasy and pot are said to go pretty well together.
[QUOTE=Pepin;26018776]Ecstasy and pot are said to go pretty well together.[/QUOTE]
I don't think either of those are a depressant or stimulant, but I could be wrong.
[b]Breaking news! Drinking too much alcohol makes people do stupid shit and eventually fucks up your body! More at 11[/b]
Seriously? Is this really newsworthy?
When does mixing caffeine and alcohol ever sound like a great idea?
People are [i]so[/i] fucking stupid. Caffeine is a DRUG. A stimulant. Alcohol is also a drug. A depressant. Many prescription drugs have warning labels that caution against mixing stimulants and depressants.
loko is awesome.
Hey let's put a depressant in an energy drink see what happens.

It tastes like barf, at least every kind I've had. I'd rather just drink beer.
EDIT: you guys should have had the four (not loco) when they put wormwood oil (ingredient in absinthe) in it, shit makes you lose all feeling just like a painkiller.
some kids in my school drink like 3 or 4 of these a party, makes me feel like a puss, but i'm not blacking out
I swear, if it gets taken off shelves, this is just proof of a nanny nation forming, and people becoming blithering fucking idiots too stupid to take responsibility for their fucking actions. Own up to it, things are better when you just accept responsibility. What? Do we have a nation of fucking children?

Why not just drink real absinthe...? It's far better than anything else you're going to get watered down like that.
And these drinks aren't that serious. I mix my own drinks that are similar but harsher than this, I handle them fine. It's idiots like this girl who fuck this up for the rest of us.
yeah, ban it, seriously, six beers in one can, what kind of energy drink is that?!??!?!?!?!

Yeah, just ban things you don't like or want in the world, that'll fix it.
Not like i can't make something similar to this by mixing drinks myself easily enough.
These things don't deserve to be illegal, the idiots who call for the illegality of things are just woefully stupid people entirely incapable of the thought of personal responsibility.
Already banned in WASHINTON STATE
Yester day was the last day stores could sell them
Damn, this isn't that far away from me, like a 30 minutes drive. Also Four Loko is shit.
[editline]13th November 2010[/editline]
I support their ban too. Loko is harmful alone and is being sold, which gives them enough of a reason to ban them. Whatever jackass at their offices that thought it was a good idea to put caffeine and alcohol in a single cheap as shit can and sell it to completely unknowing more-than-likely-already-drunk people should be fired.
Knowing the makers of Four Loko they will probably just use this as an opportunity to release a light version for sale so people don't get too drunk too quickly because they confuse the can with having a low level of alcohol.
The uk site is hilarious, it doesn't list any stores to buy it because there aren't any. Why is the site even there
[QUOTE=DrLuke;26013709]I always thought Caffeine in combination with Alcohol was really bad, which is a reason why it says "Don't consume Alcohol and Caffeine" on some products in germany.[/QUOTE]
The caffeine wakes you up and gives you a strong illusion of sobriety. The delusion could either fuel you drinking more than you should or behaving in a dangerous manner you think you are sober enough to handle.

Very relevant.

But for her build that's like a bottle of Vodka for me.
[quote]This vigil is about more than the lost of 21-year-old Courtney Spurry who died in St. Michaels this weekend when she crashed a Ford pickup truck into a telephone poll after a night out with her girlfriends. They drank Four Loko, an energy drink with 12 percent alcohol content—the equivalent of five to six beers in one cheap can.[/quote]
Was this woman retarded? "Yeah let's go get this drink, with alcohol in, and then go drive this is safe and sounds totally wise"
I was at a party last night and all the girls there drank at least 2 of them. Most of them threw up. This is the drink of the devil. But hey, at least its only $2.50 a can so you aren't going broke giving yourself alchohol poisoning.
[QUOTE=faze;26013225]Mixing the two is not as bad as you may think.[/QUOTE]
...as long as you are completely unconcerned with your heart's condition.

It's not like drinking energy drink and alcohol is going to kill you. It's about moderation. Durp.

Absolutely agreed. These desperate, childish people are just looking for a scape goat.
The very idea of the cold truth (it was her own fault) terrifies them.
Drink Four Loko erryday
To anyone who drinks four loko, I have learned time and time again that one is enough.
