We once played 10 cup four loko pong in lieu of beer pong, with everclear "landmines". I passed out on the side of the persons house, in a pile of shitty rags next to the air conditioner that they had previously used to clean up their dogs diarrhea from inside its kennel and the wall behind said kennel. 4/10, ok night.

When they announced they were nerfing them I went out and bought a case (12) and drank them slowly over the next 6 months so I could reminisce all those blacked out memories I couldn't remember.

True story: I was young and these things were just released before they toned them down. Myself along with three of my friends all decided to go out to the city fair this night and decided to each have 3 four locos (without really knowing what they would do to us). We started in a jacuzzi with alot more friends and ended up drinking all 3. We got separated, I could no longer operate my phone. Asked a cop for help. Was told to fuck off. My friend almost got arrested for reasons unknown to this day. Another one was lost and crying and found by me. Night was a fucking disaster. Never tried them since.

There's no caffeine in four loko anymore, FDA basically forced everyone to remove it in the 90s in response to when kids started getting hospitalized after drinking too much, since caffeine helps "mask" the effects of alcohol.

I’m slightly disappointed that he never stated why four loko was considered crazy and was banned back before they changed it. For those who didn’t know, it was sold as an alcoholic beverage and an energy drink in one. It was absolutely insane, and got banned in almost all US states. They ended up taking out a few of the energy drink components and stopped marketing it as an energy drink before reintroducing it, which is why he’s able to drink it today.

This man drank a whole eight loko!

I had one of these on New Year's Eve a few years back and after the countdown (and as the bar was closing down) I gave some dude at the bar my prize NYE hat and stumbled back to my hotel room where I was sharing a room with 2 of my friends. They were married and went back a little early so they could have sex before I got there. I passed out just outside of the room and when my buddy went to go look for me he found me slumped beside the door with the room key still in my hand. He brought me in and put me in my bed. I got up at some point and really had to piss so I made my way to the bathroom (still extremely intoxicated) and while I was pissing the endless piss I thought to myself, why the hell am I still dressed?? (I sleep naked) I then proceeded to get into my birthday suit and walk out completely naked, marched right across the room (in full view of my very conscious and somewhat conservative friends) and passed out on my bed face up. No covers, no clothes, no shame...Four Loco.

And now we're starting to see the breakdown only four episodes in.

Four loko played a big part in my fiancé leaving me LMAO god bless. This man is waking up, getting sober ✌️❤️

Starbucks, Red Bull, the talk of "[coffee] beans" - It seems like you're making reference to there being caffeine content in Four Loko, but that's actually no longer the case. Four Loko used to have caffeine and other energy drink chemicals originally, and it was marketed as being the combination between an energy drink and a malt liquor. But the FDA cracked down on the market and made the company change the recipe. The concern was that encouraging people to drink caffeine and alcohol together is inherently dangerous (more than consuming either chemical alone), which is probably true. It was really well marketed at young drinkers - still is - and even though it no longer contains the ingredients that made it so infamous in the headlines, it has stayed popular as a dumb ass drink. That said, I knew dudes who would drink that stuff along with some pre-workout (caffeine powder) to recreate the old effect. But yeah, it doesn't have stimulants anymore. It's just a gross-ass malt liquor with hella sugar.

Hey, im just here to say "Hi!" from Philly D.
