That sh!t is horrible.

The first and last time I drank one, I blacked out and woke up in questionable circumstances......


Apparently, two Four Loko = Ocho Loko?!

I had absinthe when I was on a cruise through the Greek islands. It taste like **** (think Jägermeister / black licorice) even if you do the sugar cube addition. I was happy drunk for a couple hours.

Some highlights of the 9 shot experience: I peed off of the top deck of the cruise ship, fell down some stairs, and threw up for 4 hours. Goodtimes.

Drinking undiluted Absinthe is not the smartestest thing you can do. Probably not all that good for your optic nerves - like grain alcohol. True and sort of related story: theUSSR had a real problem with losing air force mechanics at an alarming rate. They were all going blind from drinking jet fuel. :thumb:

Did it twice in 6 year gaps and Im not doing it again soon. Every shot makes you feel much worse (or better?). First time the floor went vertical, the reality went into photo mode. Woke up with a nasty scar on my knee...
Yup that sh!t is the original red bull and vodka. Only drink that has ever made me have a true black out experience.

Split a bottle of the green stuff among friends and then went out to the bars in SLO. I don't remember a thing after the first bar, at least I was thinking enough to get myself a blunt wrap for the morning to fight the incredible hangover.

One of my buddies crashed in a sleeping bag in his own back yard :rofl:

Isn't this the exact type of BS that lead to Prohibition in the first place?

to clarify:

US law only bans SALES of absinthe in the US.

It IS permissable to purchase in a foreign country and then import for personal use.

Right?

I had two of them last night and felt pretty good. Made some sweet potato fries and fried rice...I cook when I drink. I usually have so much caffeine during the day that it does not affect me and well have a really high tolerance as well. The hangover if you have too many....holy crap it sucks! I'll just stick to 1/2 - 3/4 of a 5th and get as drunk as a few of those and feel way better in the morning.

seriously. A) they're 14, shouldn't be drinking. B) they're 14 and shouldn't be driving, and C) nobody should drink and drive, regardless of what alcohol brand they drink.

this is a stupid debate...I cracked up reading those stories because 75% of them were high, or had chugged six beers before drinking the magic soda. The equivalent is a 40oz and a redbull...are they going to ban 40s? Or vodka? Or high-power beer, like delerium tremens or sam adams' whatever awful thing it is?

it's stupid...they can't market it to kids because kids can't buy it.

Tried fruit punch and orange. Horrid. Cant imagine someone drinking a whole can fast enough to actually feel the effects.

Unless your 100lbs and that hard up like a 14 year old to do something taboo.

Gas station attendants arnt even IDing for the stuff. Claimed wasn't aware it was anything besides an energy drink.

One of my bosses slammed a Sparks at lunch. He thought it was an energy drink, like Monster or RedBull.

He says later "I'm feeling kind of funny". I laughed and explained it to him.

My coworker apparently went loko last night. Here is his story:

"I drank 3 four loko's, got wasted, threw up, a lot. Spent a few hours passed out in the bathtub, cleaned myself up, and went to sleep."

He's not doing too hot today. Hahahahaha

So just doing some numbers....... 24oz can's of 12% alcohol is equal to ~6 shots of vodka and god knows how much caffeine (news reports claim 12?). Suddenly those stories don't sound like they're exaggerating as much.
24oz of 12% is the same as 4 6% beers... Nothing NEAR 12 shots of vodka.

(24 x 12% = 288) (48 x 6 = 288)

I thought it was something other than just % of alhokol. I'm pretty sure the local polish ethnic minority called Łemkowie makes a Vodka and other things around it at similar 70-80% voltage and they don't go blind. Though I drank a sweed plum vodka/something with them once and slept 24hours without feeling drunk.

Also the sight loss wasnt connected to the wrong type of alcohol (methanol vs ethanol ?)

He wasn't claiming 12 shots of vodka. He was talking 12 something cafinateds, probably coffee cups.

My closest near death experience was the day before I graduated college, it involved several cans of Sparks, white water kayaking, and torrential down pours. I almost graduated with a degree in Darwinism.

Haven't tried Four Loko yet, and I do have tomorrow off... :cheers:

Connor X: “Just an average Connor X Tuesday night,” I thought as I double-dogged two broads from behind. Whoa. Hold on. Back up a minute. Rewind. Let’s start at the beginning. I was chilling with my boys, watching “the game” and doing Four Loko. No big whoop. Like I said, average Tuesday night. I was maybe thirty lokos deep when my boy Shawn suggested we go down to the trendy new nightspot where all the vapid *beep* and collar-popping asshats got together to try to bump uglies. So we all piled into the patented Connor-mobile (heh, of course I’m not drunk driving, officer…) and went to the spot. Now bear in mind, I’ve got like seventy lokos in my gut at this point, so I’m a little sloppy. But hey, I’m Connor X. The night’s just getting started. We roll into the club and I just see this vast expanse of vapid *beep* One vapid *beep* steps up to me and barks, “you’re kinda cute.” I look at my boys and just know. Countdown to destruction in five…four…three…two…I smirk and reply, “Yeah, I know. Now who ordered a doggie bag? ‘Cause we’ve got a genuine d-o-g on our hands!” Her lip quivered and then she pulled out a gun and shot her face off. Roasted. Toasted. And burnt to a crisp. I high-fived my boy Steve-o and walked to the bar. I started pounding beer shots. I had probably eighty mugs of beer before the barkeep said, “Whoa, fella, I think you’ve had enough.” With a wide grin spreading across my beer-encrusted face, I told him, “Enough’s enough, ‘fella’.” He toppled backwards into the shelves of beer and booze and his head fell off. Score one for the Con-man. I slammed about twenty more beerskis and…whoa. Let’s just say I was starting to feel it. “Let the games begin,” I told my boy Jakester. I scoped out the room. “Jokers to the left of me; jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with me, myself, and I,” I thought. I scoped out one broad and the veins in her rack were busting out of their seams. I sidled up to her. “Hey, I think there’s something wrong with my receipt.” “Hm?” she asked inquisitively. “Yeah,” I yeahed. “It doesn’t have your number on it.” She laughed like a hyena and then laughed some more. I took this opportunity to pound a booze shot. I had her eating out of my hands, literally! Just then a popped-collar assbasket walked up from literally out of nowhere. “Is this guy bothering you?” he asked the broad douchely. “Not as much as your breath is bothering me, twathandle,” I deftly proclaimed. “Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, say hello to the dog-faced boy. I don’t know whether to shake your hand or give you a pat on the muzzle.” I knew I had another burn in me before I closed the casket on this one. I tore off his popped collar and threw it across the mighty Potomac , deftly proclaiming, “Fetch, Lassie.” He aged two hundred years right before my eyes before promptly decomposing, like that dude in the end of Last Crusade. I flashed my infamous “pwned” grin and with a twinkle in my eyes, turned on “the game.” I told the broad my infamous “dirty knees” story and before long, she was literally eating out of my hands. “I think you should meet my friend,” she flirted in my direction. “Game on,” I volleyed back. Flash forward to two hours later and I’m sack-deep in some premium poon tang. The two broads are doing orgasms left and right. We’re getting it on so hard. Racks are bouncing everywhere. Clits stand at attention and then nut girl stuff all over the place. You name it, these broads and I did it. 69. Doggie style. Karma sutra. Just low-down, nasty sex stuff. If I told you, you wouldn’t even believe me. Let’s just say, do the words donkey punch ring a bell? We made sex for like three days (Viagra? Yeah, right! Meet Connor-agra!) and I was just nailing these broads. Racks, boobs…you name it, I nailed it. It reminded me of the time I got a blowjob while skydiving off the Eiffel Tower . But that’s a story for another day… Then it hit me. These weren’t just broads; they were vapid *beep* I hastily busted my nut and shuffled them out the door. “Call me?” they said in unison. “In your dreams,” I shouted back, slamming the door in their vapid faces. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. It was my boy Chas. “We’re hitting the new hotspot nightplace; you wanna come with?” Without hesitation, I duded in the affirmative. We rolled out. Oh yeah, I was also totally drunk, having done lots of Loko while slamming the sleazes. But not too drunk, because I have a very high tolerance (what can I say? When you “get your drink on” as much as Connor X, you’re bound to build up a tolerance). We rolled up to the hotplace nightspot. It looked new and shiny in the crisp autumn air. I took my pants off and we went inside. The bouncer stopped me. “What do you think you’re doing, sir?” he meekly asked. “It’s the no-pants zone and I am the zonester,” I hurled back as I strolled in with nary a care in the world. He fell backwards in his bouncer chair and cracked his skull on the baseboard. Brain matter and spinal fluid leaked out in a gross way. I didn’t give a crap. I scoped out the broad situation. Affirmatory. Broad at 10 o’clock . I sauntered up. “I’m Connor X. Spank you very much.” She melted like butter in my hands and was also literally eating out of them. After I shot the shiat with her for a while, I said, “my place or yours?” She vapidly suggested mine and we got a cab and headed back to Connor X H.Q. for a night of romance. Then we bootiefarked.
oh wow

I've had some interesting experiences on Loko. I had 3 after I met up with a few buddies for hempfest in my town and after 2 I was blacked out. Continued to ride around town on bikes, me on my hardtail (the easiest bike to ride when trashed). Got legitimately lost in a park I pass through on my daily commute while I repeated to insist that it was 3Loko and not for 4Loko. Rode on into farm land, roasted a fat one, and violently threw up. Rode back into town, pulling manuals through the street only to have a cop roll up behind me and tell me to get out of the road. Apparently I couldn't hold a consistent and straight manual. Rode back to the place that I was watching for the weekend and passed out. Woke up at 6:30 the next morning for an XC ride with my Dad and his GF. Apparently I 'smelled like an open bottle of Whiskey'. Ya, that ride HURT.

Another remarkable night with 4Loko was combined with other sources of hard-a and beer. Threw up after a shot of So-Co, but that and that only. Had a 30 min nap before work at 8, still 3 sheets to the wind.

why anyone would decide to drink more than one of those at a time is beyond me. the hangover off of one is bad enough, not to mention they are all pretty gross tasting. last spring i'd generally drink one to start off my night and then would transition to beer, still would black out every time. i've found the best strategy for stomaching them is pouring it in a glass and pounding it as fast as you can or just sacking up and funneling it in one or two goes. drank at least one a weekend for probably 3 months and decided to stop so i wouldn't black out so much.

watermelon is the worst flavor
apparently you've never tried lemonade. that **** is gross. :dead:

I had a dream about Loko last night. I was hanging around my hometown after work at the liquor store, and we decided to open a Loko. I had about half a can then tossed the rest, as I felt wasted but also wide awake...I knew I couldn't drive so we bummed around the parking lot for hours...
