Four Loko

Being able to handle yo

I've been drinking for over 40 years. 2010 wasn't long ago. And this isn't the 1st drink pulled from shelves because it was directed and causing issues with the youth......and it won't be the last


Ok so explain this to me how is this 12% more powerful then another 12% drink?

I'll tell you how.....its not. It's kids pounding it because it tastes good and drinking to excess.....saame thing with any alcohol that's Frank to excess

This is where you're going wrong. You think when I say kids can't handle there alcohol that's something bad....all it takes to be able to handle your alcohol is to grow up and not drink to excess. Fruity flavored drinks make it easy to drink to excess but that does not make the drink stronger then any other drink of the same alcohol content. Just means it's easier to swallow, especially for kids. The caffeine helps take the edge off and keeps the kid going until he consumes in excess.....thus not being able to handle his alcohol

 

I'll pass on Four Loko. I've heard so many bad things about this drink, it seems a lot like a alcohol version of K2 or something.

 

Still 12% homie.....you can run your mouth all you want but it's no stronger then any other 12% drink.....its people who don't know their limits, mainly kids, that think it's some super drink

 

better off sticking a hose up the anus and pouring in some everclear

 

Fruity, easy tasting, caffinated alcohol to keep the kiddies going. Wasn't the first.....wont be the last

 

I just realized you're an inexperienced under age drinker and I thought I would explain to you how alcohol content work but in your typical youthful manner you just got mouthy instead.

Still only a 12% drink, no more intoxicating then any 12% drink. Sorry that gets your diaper all soiled but it's the facts. I have quite enjoyed your little temper tantrums though

 

Time to go drink some real booze....not caffeine and koolaid

Take it easy kid. Been fun watching you get pissed off over nothing

 

I won't drink a kids drink. Not a grandpa yet either but I can't wait till that happens. Another thing you're wrong about

And it's still not stronger then any other 12%

 

Oh lol thnx for the info. I will have to try sometime.

 

I think here's the deal with getting "drunk". IME the effects of the alcohol vary by type across the range of spirits and beverages. Getting inebriated on wine is different than inebriation on beer which both are also different from drinking too much tequila which is way, way different than drinking too much vodka etc, etc, etc. IOW even with distilled spirits, malted brews, or fermented wine, everyone produces a different buZZ.

Just saying all alcohols are not created equal be they distilled, fermented or malted. It is entirely believable that a drink could be concocted with an alcohol type or two discussed above and combined with a bunch of different substances who's names end with 'ine' and when ingested in sufficient quantities could result in spinouts, blackouts, fights, jumping off tall objects, and doing all types of unabashed, uninhibited, unbelievable behavior. I get it.

Alcohol is a poison no matter how it's made and its combination with different additives can produce myriad effects many of which are unpleasant. And the buZZ off a beer drunk in no way compares with drinking too much tequila which in no way compares with drinking too much wine. It's got nothing to do with 'not being able to handle the alcohol', rather it has everything to do with the type of alcohol it is, what the alcohol is adulterated with, and how much is consumed.

As for Four Loko, DAMN! That sounds worse than Boones Farm Strawberry Hill LOL.

 

@killset actually may have some truth buried in what he's saying. He just doesn't know when to quit gracefully or how to come off appropriate either..which makes him so aggravating.

However, I think we can all agree it is sort of a "kids drink" in the sense that it's for amateurs looking to catch a quick buzz.
