Four Loko Banned and other hilariousness....

Probably tastes like shit. The same could be said for Budweiser, Coors, etc., but people still drink them.

Depressant and stimulant ingested together, sounds like "chasing the dragon" in a can.

It doesn't seem like this will last too long, regarding popularity, it will go the way of St Ides, OE, MD 20/20 and any other malt beverage, fortified wine, ripple that has ever come before.

Sigh....I dont know why I am indulging Toker.

Toker is not just the general combination.

Its the volume. If i said here is general drink like Jack Daniel and Coffee and i was bartender so I measure the drink serving.

You probably be fine.

In the same 12 oz cup. Lets get rid of jack daniels and replace it with something 3 times stronger per alcohol volume and then on top of that let replace the coffee with an energy drink that has 3 times caffine of average cup of coffee.

Chances are your going pass out, vomit until the son dont shine or make a trip to the ER.

It reminds me of Will Steger (the guy who just can't stay out of the Arctic) at the Minnesota State fair a couple of years ago. He was attempting to prove a point about Global Warming by placing a block of ice on the blacktop in 90 degree weather, and watching it melt.......What the fudge did he think was going to happen? It was laughably ridiculous. The crowd around him was openly mocking his stupidity.....it was soo damn funny....

digital seriously.... wtf.

you are not indulging toker you completely ignored his ONE question.

**digital** · 11-17-10, 05:46 PM

To answer his one question. Yes I am for the ban.

I dont think any product between a drink, medicine or a vehicle or any product that has great health or safety risk should be sold.

If you drink this drink and end up the hospital potientially. Pull it from the shelf.

If after taking "x" medicine you develop another major health condition. Recall it and sue the pants off the company.

If you buy "x" vehicle and the manufacter knew 2 years ago there was an engine design flaw or brake system issue. Recall the car, and refund the person's money.

So you support banning all alcohol and all energy drinks? Any food that has a carcinogenic risk involved? Any medication that might cause long-term side effects?

We're going to live in a really, really shitty world then...
