Four Loko


Have you heard of this?

It is a caffeinated alcoholic drink with as much alcohol as a six pack and as much caffeine as 5 cups of coffee. Where was this when I was in college?

Suffice to say it has been banned from numerous college campuses. It was responsible for 9 student hospitalizations in one Washington State party:
Authorities at the time said they did not believe incident was a result of heavy drinking, but that someone had surreptitiously slipped drugs, possibly date rape drugs, into people's drinks.

Police today said there was no evidence of drugs found, only the energy drink.

"It was really scary," Katelynn Allen, a Central Washington University freshman.

"Everything was going fine, the music was playing, people were having fun - and then all of a sudden all the girls were puking everywhere," she said. "Girls were outside on their backs."

Actually...on second thought perhaps I am still alive today because this was not around during my college years.
