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

Quote from: my college newspaper
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Edith?

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