The reason they are so "dangerous" is because they come in 24 ounce cans (Arizona Ice Tea size), and one is approximately the equivalent of drinking something like 5 coffees and 6 light beers. They come in various flavors, are 12% alcohol and illegal to sell in New Hampshire. Now, I have never had a Four Loko, but last weekend I had the pleasure of trying a Tilt, which is basically the same thing. (And to my knowledge, not technically on the market right now).
I will now tell you why they are so dangerous: because it was fucking delicious. It tasted like grape soda and it will get you going. It is basically like having a giant vodka and RedBull. Seriously, after a few sips I was ready to rock. Keep in mind I had already had a few drinks, but I could definitely tell what they have the potential to do. I am not a huge energy drink person. I will have a morning coffee, but that is about the limit of my caffeine. I don't even drink a lot of soda. The major problem with these alcoholic energy drinks is that people drink them like they are drinking a regular beer.
So, what I am saying to you is if you find yourself drinking one of these beernergy drinks this weekend, pay attention to your consumption. We don't need a UNH student student falling victim to stupidity. That being said, party on! Time to start my Thirsty Thursday!
Stay classy, not UMassy.
I tried a Four Loko Blue Raspberry, and it tasted like ass mixed with cough syrup.
ReplyDeleteSo now i'm tempted to try Tilt. Any idea where I could get my hands on one?
Thank You Thank You Thank You for posting this! Ignorance is what got those kids in trouble. Now I want to try Tilt!
ReplyDeleteI had a 4 loko a few weekends back, your so right, shit is intense. they're not the problem, but kids thinking they can drink a bunch of them like beers is. never had a tilt, but not sure i want to after having a loko. good looking out.
ReplyDelete1st commenter - Not sure where you can get a Tilt. A friend brought over a couple and she said they were given to her. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but she said they're not technically on the market yet. I do know they have had to be reformulated a few times...
ReplyDeleteFour Loko's are legit. Picked a few different flavors up last weekend when I was rolling through good 'ol MA. Have yet to find a flavor that actually tasted delicious, but you couldn't be more right about them getting you ready to rock. Half way through a can I was so down to party it was ridiculous--this is probably what ends up getting most people in trouble.
