Just drink a Jaegerbomb or something, christ.

Thank god, maybe freshman will actually have to try to get blackout drunk now.

that doesn't come in a can with nice colors. stop hating fun or something, christ.
-
energy drinks come in cans with colours. Just open them up and then replace a portion of the energy drink with strong booze.
The law kinda makes no sense to me based on the fact that this is a thing you can do.

Or make yr own (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTqSs9TO9tI&feature=player_embedded), doggonnit

At the best of times, Four Loko got me to yell songs with my shirt off. At the worst, it gave me weird chest pains that felt something not entirely dissimilar to a heart attack.
Goodbye, Loko. The good die young, as they say.
-
Guys, here's a thing.
Being a Brit, I never got to sample the horrific delight that was 4Loko. I understand that many of you might see this as a blessing for me, but man do I want to get shit ass drunk on it at least once. Buuuut there's a pretty big chance I'll never get to taste the real thing, so I am pretty keen to make my own. Looking at that video of how to do so, I can definitely get at least a couple of the ingredients (Monster is pretty widely available here, and I can probably use Pro Plus, a caffeine suppliment, as my extra kick), but do any of you know what is the best British equivalent of malt liquor (I dont really know what this is) and Jolly Ranchers (which look kind of like hard sugar candy?).
I am going to a house party in about 2 weeks. If you help me, I promise to make some by then and fully document the results...
-
yes, we been makin vodkastar and redbullodka for years before we got 4lokos, but man, 4lokos, they are the shit. i am pretty bummed that our time together was short though even though i've known about them for about a year. i guess we just got to capitalize on this soon.
-
Just do what I did in college and make a brass monkey from a 40 and a Orange juice.
Drink to the line. Fill it with OJ and have a fun time.
-
sad i never got around to drinking 4loko. Guess i'll just stick to steel reserve if i want to get drunk for cheap.
-
Thank god, maybe freshman will actually have to try to get blackout drunk now.
Given that it has a bit more than a quarter of the alcohol in a $5 bottle of vodka, I'm going to go with no. The difference is most people respect vodka/rum/whiskey/tequila.
-
it's weird and kind of histrionic to say this but i can honestly divide my adult life into "getting drunk before 4loko" and "getting drunk after 4loko," and i can assure you that, while life will go on, the drink seriously switched around a bunch of mental triggers in my brain. it's actually gotten harder for me to get regular drunk – in fact i haven't been full-on drunk without the aid of a loko since may – and i get the feeling that next time i get as drunk as i do on lokos without lokos, i'm not going to enjoy it nearly as much.
i guess in this way it's been kind of a positive experience, the lokos getting banned. once they're gone forever i don't have them as a crutch and i'm probably at like considerably less risk of drinking myself into an early grave.
on the other hand, it's fucking stupid that they got banned and like i don't see how that's going to stop kids from binge drinking at all
-
Cannot say I've had the pleasure.
Norway banned strong energy drinks for years until very recently, which is how we evidently battled the whole booze + energy drink crisis. I guess it worked too, actually. :psyduck: Was lifted not too long ago though.
-
but do any of you know what is the best British equivalent of malt liquor
Malt Liqour is (basically) very strong lager. Special Brew or Tenants Super would do. As for the Jolly Ranchers, they look just like hard sweets. I've had drinks before with skittles dissolved in vodka so maybe skittles?
I really can't see how the resultant concoction wouldn't taste like a million arses though. Why not just pop a pro-plus and drink Vodka Relentless or some such?
Or, quite frankly, just snort some fucking speed.
-
It seems like the general consensus is that Loko tastes like arse as well, so it makes sense.
Welp it looks like I'm just gonna have to stick with Purple Drank.
-
Or, quite frankly, just snort some fucking speed.
Come on now, we can't all be punks and long-haul truck drivers.
-
Khar, stop validating my burgeoning love for dextroamphetamine.
-
Best thing about 4Loko was that you could get 3 for $6. Cheaper than redbull and vodka, I think
-
Oh, Loko. I only knew you once. But it was one of the happiest drunks I've ever been in my life. We took photos, we laughed and quoted each other on facebook. Such jewels like
"Sammy's more drinking!"
"I haven't pooped since I got here, which is weird cos I usually poop a lot!"
and
"I'll fucking fuck the shit outta anybody!"
and then Barb spilled you and mopped it up with her own clothes.
and then Sammy blacked out and woke up making chicken nuggets.
and then I attempted to say every line from a Firefly episode as we watched it. I got most of them wrong and then I had spaghetti. In the morning, the tummyache was severe.
R.I.P.

Super shocked this blew up enough to get banned, and super shocked that it's fuccin Ally who made this thread.
My roommates bought me a case of mixed Orange/Cran Lem that they're stashing in my basement until I get back from Greece.
The dream will never truly die.
-

One day I may have a daughter, and I will be so proud of her growing up, and then she will go off to college and become a drunk stereotype and I will sigh.
-
Odds on that kid'll be born out of wedlock.
-
Fuck, so everyone's getting daughters? I want a daughter! Can't be fucked to make one though, I'll just adopt one. Preferably a grown up one with a job who will never need anything off me.
Edith?

In Florida I knew 4loko as the drink that bros and trashy Florida girls talked about way too enthusiastically.
-
I think that's pretty much what it's known as everywhere.
-
Warning - Consumption of Fourloko may result in sudden and involuntarily appearances of backwards baseball caps on your head, a dangerously increased interest in "raising the roof", and involuntary and superfluous exclamations of the word "nigga", regardless of your race.
-
My friends had a 4loko party last night. I didn't attend. All of them crave water this morning and learned that I love to yell a lot. They hate their lives.
-
I never actually had a chance to loko in any number.
*shrug*

When I first heard the story I immediatly thought of the beer rant in SLC Punk! (@1:37) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp4INKKzQ60&feature=fvw)
Of course I have mixed feelings about 4Loko when my best friend decided that it in conjunction with crunkcore were things that needed to happen at all hours of the day.
-
You're friends with someone that actively enjoys crunkcore?
:psyduck:
-
I often question the life choices that brought me to this point.

Malt Liqour is (basically) very strong lager. Special Brew or Tenants Super would do. As for the Jolly Ranchers, they look just like hard sweets. I've had drinks before with skittles dissolved in vodka so maybe skittles?
Unless skittles in the UK are different than the US, that isn't quite the same thing. Jolly Ranchers are pretty much just fruit-flavored hard candy, though.
-
I suppose skittles have that chewy bit in the centre.
Wait are they like, boiled sweets?
-
Not quite but imagine boiled sweets would have the same effect.
-
I'm not sure what a boiled sweet is, but imagine a fruit-flavored lollipop. Pretty much the same substance, similar taste.
-
Four Loko isn't the only drink that's affected. A number of states are banning pretty much all of the energy-malt liquor combos, including Sparks and Joose. I never drank Four Loko but Sparks was an integral part of my college career. I wonder if we'll start seeing regulations like this affecting bars that serve Jaeger-bombs and the like.
-
I wanted to try them out, but fuck... guess I can't, now. I don't have the patience for beer and stuff like that, though... I'll just take a caffiene pill and have a stiff drink with liquor, I guess.
-
Here a bartender is not allowed to mix energy drinks with liquor. They are perfectly able to sell you an energy drink and a shot at the same time, though.
-
This was already posted elsewhere, but I feel this is an appropriate thread for it.
Our poor ferret Emmit was depressed upon hearing the new of 4Loko's doom that he went of a bender. It was not a pretty sight.

There are no hard and fast rules about what can and can't be sold as a cocktail in the UK that I know of, but a lot of places have house rules. For example, at the pub where I used to work, we could serve jaegerbombs, vodka red bulls, boilermakers and Irish car bombs, but not snakebite or turbo-shandy. A lot of places have similiar rules, with different emphasis. Snakebite in particular is seen as something of a violence inducer. Turbo-shandy is, of course, just pure dogshit.
-
Irish car bombs
For some reason, I always thought that (or at least that name) was an American invention. I guess gallows humor is appreciated at bars all over the world.

In four years my daughter will be a teenager, jesus fucking christ.
so seven years before she's sixteen?
-
is there any of the alcoholic stuff left? is anyone in san diego willing to get me a can or two that i can pick up when i'm there in february? i'm trying to figure out how to ration my remaining four
-

It passes... in time...
My youngest is 38, so it must be survivable.
-

Is there a particular reason for this? We serve Snakebite, and to me it doesn't seem to be any different from any other kind of comparable alcoholic drink.
-
Apparently you can not serve beer or cider by the quarter-pint in the UK so you can not serve a pint of snakebite.
Also apparently people get really awful drunk on it and do terrible things?

involuntary and superfluous exclamations of the word "nigga", regardless of your race.
As though this was something that 4loko enthusiasts don't already do.
-
My friend informed me that while two liquor stores in town still have 4Loko in stock, legally they are barred from selling it and are waiting for their stock to be picked up and disposed of, which makes me

Thank god, maybe freshman will actually have to try to get blackout drunk now.
You’ ve done your job pretty well by all accounts. You pulled your anxious offspring through a year of SATs, applications, and acceptance letters, and you lived to tell the tale. All that’ s left to do is pay tuition bills, feel good about yourself, and, every now and then, sneak into your child’ s room, clutch an old stuffed animal to your chest and stare wistfully out the window. Still, you can’ t shake the feeling that something isn’ t quite right, that maybe, somewhere along the way, you made a mistake. And you’re right. You can tell because your child now drinks FourLoko.
FourLoko is an alcoholic energy drink that costs very little. With ten distinct flavors, it’s the malt liquor equivalent of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. And it is the high point of your child’s week.
“I did Blue Raspberry last week,” said Your Child ’14, who has been looking forward to this moment since his hangover wore off at approximately 4:35 last Sunday. “Tonight I’m drinking the Orange flavor.” Well gee, you think, maybe it’ s not that bad. It’s not as embarrassing as crack or vodka-dipped tampons.
“It fucks you up!” said Your Child as the neon colored liquid seeped down his shirt.
Where did you go wrong? Why does your baby boy now turn to that canned fluorescent nightmare on a weekly basis? Maybe you shouldn’t have let him drink so much soda. Maybe you shouldn’ t have used a needle to keep him from wetting his bed.
“Wanna come back-a to my room,” Your Child told Some Girl ’14, “we’ll listen to dubstep, lookit my penizz….”
Well, there’ s really not much you can do about it now. You’ re not about to take the kid out of school, not after the ordeal it took to get the little bastard in. This is the direction society is headed in now, inching toward the inevitable tumble of Western civilization in the year of our Watermelon flavored malt liquor, 2012Loko. You’ re just going to have to get used to it. Here, try this. It tastes like kiwis, if kiwis tasted like refuse and disappointment.
Your Child ’ 14, vomiting, is unavailable for comment.

i love that article

i will do it sir. i'll go look for em tomorrow
-
Man I don't get why the government's gotta go all prohibition on fucking caffeine now, all people should have to do is put a fucking warning label on it and shit should be gravy
I mean fuck, Loko hasn't given anybody cancer like fucking tobacco does, but tobacco's still legal for sale EVERYWHERE IN AMERICA
I'm going to deplete my favorite gas station's stock tonight and spend the rest of the year laughing at all the poor fucks who ain't got no Loko
-
4Loko doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars going into lobbying.
-
Lobbying dollars don't mean shit if you've got an impassioned and mobilized bloc of voters. Statistically, this has been the case.
So yeah, y'all are fucked something fierce.
-
Apparently you can not serve beer or cider by the quarter-pint in the UK so you can not serve a pint of snakebite.
Also apparently people get really awful drunk on it and do terrible things?
You can't serve halfs of Snakebite, you mean. Snakebite is 50/50 beer and cider so it's not a problem for full pints. Also worth noting that the laws are somewhat more flexible and opaque than 'quarter-pint=illegal'. You're not allowed to have stuff like that on your bar tariff, or to have quarter pint glasses (because they're not endorsed by trading standards) but it's not illegal for a publican to essentially sell their produce off in whatever way they want provided they're not defrauding the customer, which is after all what the laws about measures are about. Otherwise, shandy, lager tops, lager and lime and such other things where you're not technically being served a whole pint of beer would be illegal, which they're obviously not.

what's an ideal beer for snakebite
-
Ally, that's fucking fantastic.
-
i love that article
-
what's an ideal beer for snakebite
Stella Artois.
-
You know that plan I had? It failed. But although I can't remember the name, there already exists an inexpensive FourLoko alternative. It is 12% alcohol and just as piss-flavored as the OG shit.
-
what's an ideal beer for snakebite
It depends entirely on the cider you're using. If it's a cheap fizzy cider like Strongbow or Blackthorn then maybe something like Stella, Kronenbourg 1664, perhaps Tiger? If it's real cider then go for like an IPA or something. Best Snakebite I ever had was like Thatcher's Old Rascal and some Greene King. Went down like silk, then I woke up in a ruined church and my pubic hair had grown a centimetre.
-
Damn! So soon? I wanted to try it atleast ONCE! :psyduck:
-

you thinking of earthquake? a buddy of mine copped a can of it once, its literally the worst tasting booze ever thats not liquor. but its only 99 cents!
-
There's also pitbull, 1.15 a can, 12% abv, and I honestly haven't figured out a way to make it palatable yet.
-
After reading and enjoying this thread I can't but express my happiness at the fact that my alcoholic tendencies limit themselves to overly expensive Islay scotch and aquavit.
-
earthquake
pitbull
Nope and nope. Fuck, I was gonna go to that liquor store and check again for you guys, but I kinda got slowed down 'cause nowadays I gotta walk literally everywhere if I'm going to get anywhere
-
I am so happy right now.
I am half way through a can of Fruit Punch flavour. 2 forumites saw my posts in this thread and decided that this would be the perfect gift for my Secret Santa, and today I received a package (incredibly confused, I wasn't expecting it). So I am half way through this can, and I have an Orange Blend and Lemonade in the fridge.
It tastes awful, man. But I have only had half a can and I feel kinda funny already (I haven't had a proper drink in quite a while). I am looking forward to this.
So keep an eye on the drunk thread. Oh God.
-
lol theres a gas station neer my house that is still fully stocked with the stuff and still selling it, pity i dont gots no moneyz :-(
-
it costs less than three dollars...
-
i don't even have $2, i haven't had a job in over a year and this stupid recession is making it impossible to find a new one. so unless i find a job im not getting booze any time soon.
-
Well since you are in the US you are only 60 returned cans from sweet oblivion.
Remember in some states they are giving 5 cents for water bottles now too!
Ahh I remember my days of getting enough change together to buy a 40!
-
yeah they sure are not giving 5 cents for water bottles in Texas, or i'd have heard of it and stopped just chuckin em in the recycle bin. i have a 40 gallon bag of crushed cans, but don't know anywhere local to take em, i've even started workin on the next bag
-
DID ANYONE GET ME ANY

Sell a kidney. You won't need one where you're going.... Williamsburg! To get a bunch of kids drunk. Then you steal all their glasses and belt buckles when they pass out and resell those. You'll make a good profit.

I'm more of a fan of the "Localise Lego" campaign.

wooo i has 4 of em stashed in my closet, 2 lemonades and 2 of whatever the purple one is :psyduck:
-
SHOTGUN ALL OF THEM
RIGHT NOW
-
Still imagining it's T-Rex speaking.
-
yeah no, i'm a real lightweight, just one is enough to get me drunk. i'm not gonna try to drink a whole bunch and either have a heart attack (which is at least part of why they banned em) or end up puking up a bunch and wasting it
-

I got a case of orange and Cran Lem, come to CO and I'll skrill you a couple.

Fuck, so everyone's getting daughters? I want a daughter! Can't be fucked to make one though, I'll just adopt one. Preferably a grown up one with a job who will never need anything off me.

Nah, I'm already full up on dads. Thanks for the offer, though!
