Still, nothing will replace Four Loko for some.
“[It’s] something that came and went. It’s sort of a mysterious ghost,” said Ryder Ripps, who organized a Four Loko vigil in Union Square last month. “We were enamored with it. It’s kind of like it died for its sins.”
I believe this man just vaguely compared Four Loko to Jesus.
Today is the last day to purchase Four Loko legally in New York, so stock up if you’re into mixing dangerous amounts of caffeine with lots of booze and you’re too lazy to mix Red Bull and vodka.
I tried Four Loko for the first time a couple weeks ago, just out of curiosity. It’s disgusting. I had hoped to at least once drink a full can of it, only to see what would happen to me. Science experiment! I don’t drink all that often and I recently cut back on caffeine, so I figured I’d be particularly susceptible to its charms. After tasting it, I’m skeptical I’d be able to get through 24 ounces of it.
Still, it seems too big a coincidence that I should have a family function to attend with my in-laws tonight, the very same night Four Loko is last available. What could possibly go wrong?

I tried the stuff once, and I have to agree, it was just awful. Although some people just swear I had a bad flavor, but I wasnt trying that garbage again.
And I think that it was probably a good idea to ban something like this, if it were causing problems. Only think is that un typical fashion, lawmakers have to always over react. I read the other day that they are now trying to make all energy drinks illegal for kids under 19. ANd the criteria is a certain level of caffine per serving.
Only problem is that most coffee at DD and Starbucks contains the same if not more caffine than a Red Bull or a Monster. SO now they are going to have to card college kids buying coffee at starbucks too?
Ted, you need to Ocho Loko (drink two cans). Your life will change forever. Your teeth may completely rot out, but it’s worth it.
It’ll change forever! You’ll be dead, but isn’t that a change?
You can make your own once it is off the shelves. Just mix equal parts Kool-Aid, Everclear, and Battery Acid in a dirty bathtub and you’ll get a perfect flavor match.
The most irritating part of 4 loko dying is the hipsters who have stupid memorial services. Thee worst.
Also man up everyone it ain’t that bad.
I tried Four Loko last month for the first (and only) time as I felt obligated to at least see what all the hubub was about before it was banned. I agree with everyone who says it tastes terrible. To me it seemed like some terrible cross between NOS and cough syrup. It took me a while to finish the can, and I’d probably have to be quite inebriated before ever considering having another (if I were able to find one of course).
