Alcoholic drinks have to be imbibed sensibly, obviously, or it’s a short road to alcoholism. Energy drinks too aren’t without their downsides, with too much leading to an overdose of caffeine which will see you awake for days on end.
So here’s an idea: why not produce an alcoholic energy drink? Four Loko is just that, and it has bad news written all over it.
This video shows three women trying and reviewing the watermelon-flavored Four Loko. They’re not keen, hating the taste. But that’s only part of the problem with this devil’s own drink.
According to new reports, Four Loko is leading kids to black out, with just two of these huge cans enough to really mess someone who isn’t used to alcohol up. Which isn’t surprising seeing as its 12% ABV, 660 calories, and contains guarana, taurine, and caffeine.
In essence, it’s a cardiac arrest waiting to happen. I’m glad it’s not on sale in the U.K.
