FOUR LOKO!

..an intriguing green-and-red-camouflage pattern - iirc the reason for the camo packaging is so u can hide it from the cartoon animals that will try to snatch yr loko.

plz don't bring that up

This stuff is awful... a few months ago I drank three cans and several beers and I didn't feel any different than I would have on any other alcohol. It reminds me of the hysteria around absinthe - it's just a strong drink, no more no less.
That being said, the heartburn and the hangover were so bad that I stopped drinking for a month afterwards, I had no desire for alcohol whatsoever. I don't know, why not just drink a bunch of whiskey and coffee? It would taste better...

I thought about going on the hunt for some of this to try, but caffeine doesn't really have an effect on me (way too much Coke as a kid?), so making myself drink sickly sweet malt liquor seems like a bad idea.

I'll buy a 1.5L of Evan Williams instead. At least then the hangover will be earned.

ill just knock back a six pack of budweiser.

one of the city congressmen in Boston who was on the news crusading against Four Loko was in my freshman dorm, lol

I basically remember him as a responsibly-partying football player

this shit will make you listen to girl talk, damn

We've been discussing this on another thread but 4Loko is pointless if you have the means to, like, make a tasty and strong drink. If you're going to a party or a show, though, it is wonderful because of it's strength but also it's portability

I mean seriously it's like asking "Why would you drink Mickey's when you can have a fine microbrew?"

Context, people.

fine microbrew not available at corner liquor store near where the show or party is at?

lol, most random corner liquor stores don't carry "fine" anything unless someone in the neighborhood is a ritzy alcoholic with a special order

at least, that's how Boston/Somerville works; you have specialty stores and then you have yr random neighborhood spots and never the twain shall meet

Ding ding ding!

I mean, also it costs more money but yes.

bay area stores cater more to the neighborhood. That was my experience of Brooklyn as well - I could tell I was in a gentrified area based on what was sold at the liquor store - Park Slope was very different from Bed-Stuy

same in chicago in my experience

there was a foodsmart down the block from my house and they had all kinds of snobby beer for me and the rest of the hipster scum

My experience in the NW is that you can find relatively decent beers at even the most backwards middle-of-nowhere gas stations.

Yeah guess what I just managed to corner the market on in mn

Tomorrow night some poor saps are getting forced to drunk this w/me - sadly grape is out of stock so we only have 4 flavors to sample.

damn jealous

haha one local bodega just upped the price to $4

Made it through a quarter of a grape. Unimaginably bad.

you were not aroused by grape trial?

its called uva btw

unimaginably very awful?

cad saying it was banned in MA had me worried tho looks like we still got the loko in CT. just picked up 2 12% watermelon $2.50 each. will drink at least 1 later on FOR SCIENCE

Good god, tried a sip of this last night. So so so horrible. Makes me want to vomit thinking about it.

came v v close to getting a can of this for the lolz last night, and am v relieved i didnt.

We now have 7 flavors. Gotta catch 'em all!

watermelon really is the best

also, novice fourloko drinkers: the key, as u might expect, is coldness + speed — u don't wanna be nursing even a still-somewhat-cool can, let alone a warm one, unless you're also too fucked-up to care about the nastiness — gotta stay ahead of the wave (picture yrself in a disaster movie running across a bridge as it crumbles), but if you get too far behind there is no shame* in putting it back in the freezer and letting yr buzz percolate for a couple minutes before having another go at it.

*: well okay maybe a little shame, but I promise not to tell anybody

just hit a bowl & cracked a loko am i going 2 die yn #loko

It tastes like wateermelon nerds

jolly ranchers, I always thought, but the point is yeah

(yeah it tastes like watermelon candy, not yeah yr gonna die (crossbuzzin is a-ok with me altho I would maybe not recommend smokin' anymore once/if you get into yr 2nd loko? seems 2 always end badly for me — then again that might just be the 2nd loko's fault))

no dude u r gonna ~fly~

<3 bernard snowy's grandfatherly loko advice

nah man it's red bull that gives you wings, fourloko just gives you extra limbs (for fighting/dancing)

(xp)

thx guyz dont kno where id be w/o ur advize

i am gettin made fun of for every time i cringe when i sip thisnow

#loko

on a scale of 1-4, how many lokos deep are you into yr can?

lol 1.5 lokos deep

my mom asked me today if I ever drank a four loko! i fessed up.

dude it's been like 15 minutes — yr slackin imo — try taking bigger gulps

(maybe hard b/c if yr like me, weed greatly heightens yr sensitivity to unpleasant alcohol flavor — but it gets easier, quickly)

rip crunch

can i have your fantasy football team y/n

you were not aroused by grape trial?
