Default 4loko is the hot thing now

2 area clubs here are doing 4 Loko parties, and everyone I know is drinking this stuff now. Its catching on all over the country and alot of bars and clubs are ordering it by the cases to keep stocked for people. Here's some interesting articles about it if you've never heard of it before:

4 Loko Website

4 Loko Wikipedia

Being called Liquid Cocaine by alot of health advisors

Urban Dictionary calling it Legal Cocaine in a can

4 Loko causing people to black out

interesting. Have you had experience with it yourself? Is this a PSA or just an FYI?

upper + downer = jacked up ... but 12% ABV for $2.50 is enticing

My buddy had some of that, told me he woke up on the side of the road 2 miles away from where he drank it and his wallet was missing. Didn't remember anything.

I tried it, I had the fruit punch. The taste isn't that great, its like a energy drink with a beer aftertaste. After about 1 hour after drinking the can, I blacked out and woke up the next morning remembering nothing. Very scary.

My brother drinks this all the time. Like 4 a day. Never heard of insane side effects.

I'm gonna have to try it. I didn't know it contained wormwood. I have a lot of fun with absinthe.
