Four Loko

So by now, everyone who’s anyone has heard of a FOUR LOKO, I was a little late into the game until a few friends told me about it. The first time I tasted it, I had fruit punch. I was very skeptical because I do not like drinks that have a strong alcoholic taste. I loved it instantly; it was like soda with a little kick. Apparently I enjoyed it a tad bit too much, because two FOUR LOKOS later, I was being drugged in the house by my brothers. Call me a light weight, but the drink snuck up on me because I drank it down so fast. Since turning 21 last January, I have experimented and tasted different drinks to see which ones I like the best. I am the type to go by how a drink tastes, not how drunk it will get me. Four Loko has done an excellent job of balancing making a drink great tasting, and having enough alcohol content to get you a little buzzed.

While some people may be against this caffeinated alcoholic beverage, stating that it is targeted toward audiences under legal drinking age, it is important to know that FOUR LOKO itself is not the problem. Any drink that gets into the wrong hands can be considered dangerous. An article such as this one expresses these exact thoughts, and urges readers to understand that alcohol abuse is not because of the FOUR LOKO drink. Whether the ingredients are changed or removed off the market entirely whoever wants to get their buzz from caffeine and alcohol will figure out a combination of things to get that buzz.
