Four Loko Banned: New Jersey's Ramapo College Bans Four Loko

i agree that dumbass people should learn there limit and stop complaning n talking smack about d drink. I drink like one or two of while smoking a cigarret n id never had any problems with it. soo al i can say is for dumb people to stop screwing things up for d rest of us

Well all I can say is that drinking Loko's sure doesn't help improve spelling or conventions. * Looks at the two posts above * Face --> Palm...

All I have ever seen Four Loko do to people that drink plenty of them is them getting really drunk and/or passing out. I have never seen them get violent or act anyway out of the ordinary. I personally have had these, and while they are quite strong, the only ill effect that I get is becoming very hyper (but that's more than likely because I don't drink a lot of caffienated beverages). I mean, I'm only 5'2", 115 lbs and haven't had any complications whatsoever...not even a hangover. Drinking 4 of these in a short period of time is not a good idea for anyone, but especially not for those people that do not have a high tolerance for alcohol. Plain and simple, moderation is key. Know your limits and don't try to be a bigger badass than the person next to you. By the by, people do drink alcoholic beverages such as Red Bull and Vodka, Red Bull and Jaeger,  etc and while I don't know the chemical differences between the liquors and energy drink ingredients, I can't say that I see the issue with Four Lokos. Oh, and Marnie, a co-worker of mine typically drinks Red Bull and Vodka and does suffer from shortness or breath and chest pains. When he lays of the caffiene, the symptoms get better. Just may want to keep that in mind.

This  so obnoxious. Drinking anything to excess makes you black out! I should know, I'm in college. While this drink is stronger than regular beer and should be consumed in moderation, so are many other types of alcohol such a vodka and tequila. People, just drink less! Moderate yourself, dont expect others to do it for you!

first of all, why would anyone mix a depressant, which is the alcohol and a stimulant, which is the caffeine substance; together... this drink is a contradiction.  This crap shouldn't be in the market, it just gets people drunk faster than usual.... for a few bucks.  Look at how they market the can, making it colorful and fruity which is appealing to kids and teenagers.  Yes, kids and teenagers can't buy alcohol, but eventually they will get their hands on it anyways.  I can drink a 24 pack of beer and not black out but this crap that they are selling just fucks up your body...ban this crap already.

So the can is bright and colorful and appeals to kids? Maybe instead they should cover it with warnings to all the dumbasses who think they're going to drink 4 cans. If you pay attention you'll not only realize that it has a much higher alcohol content than beer, you'll also see that the can is twice the size, so you don't need as much. And maybe if you pay attention while you're drinking, you'll notice that you start to get buzzed after half a can or so (or however high your tolerance is), and you'll think "Hm, maybe I shouldn't drink three more of these!" It all comes down to drinking responsibly, which plenty of people don't know how to do with other alcohol anyway. Don't let these idiots pass another unnecessary law that hurts those of us who know our limits.

if u cant control how much u drink, then u shouldnt b drinking at all. it does have a higher alcohol content so people need to watch how many they drink and not be stupid enough to drink four of them.

I personally wouldnt recommend anyone drinking redbull and vodka, but its quite popular in the social world.  so why would 4 loko be banned if its ok to mix redbull and vodka? Me persoanlly, wouldnt drink 4 loko. thats just too much ethyl alcohol in your system plus the hint of caffeine as well... Not a good mix at all. I disagree with the ban.  There are far more dangerous mixes out there at the bars. If this is the case then redbull should go out of business along with other Liqour companies.

Four Loko!  WOOOOO!!!

eh i think four loko is the most retarded drink and that shit has cocaine or some type of other drug in it and it should not be legal anywhere in this country other alcohol is fine but four loko is just way to much and for all of those people who talk shit about how people should learn how to drink stfu 

THE DUDE!!!!! i think you needa get smacked tfu..how you gonna talk shit what has this drink ever done to you??? or anyone you know in that case??? if you know how much to drink you wont get sick....like everyone else is sayin you stupid fucks are screwin it up for the people that klnow how much to drink...y dont u stfu

Heyy! Soo I have no problems whatsoever with four lokoz. Its the same thing as drinking 3 beers and having an energy drink. If people don't realize that by the label.. 12% alcohol, um big can, caffiene then their stupid. People should be able to control their drinking. I think it is absolutely riduclous to ban it because if you're going to ban it then ban all other alcoholic drink. It makes NO sense. Im 140 pounds and 5'7.. I have been drinking four lokoz for about 6 months (not a lot.) I will have usually 2 or 3 and feel tipsy and hyper.. it's not goint to kill me. Thank you:)

I AM A 5'3 120 pound girl I drink 4 lokos all the time and have never blacked out or got sent to the hospital. The drink is not dangerous all the people getting sick and going to the hospital are obviously not mature enough to handle their alcohol intake. This goes to show parents and schools blaming four lokos for the immaturity of their children. They should not be banned they are the perfect drink for a poor college adult. 

I drink these every thursday and friday night to start my night off.  I tend to mix it half and half with a 40oz (sidewalk slammer) and i can get to the party and only need one more beer.I know my limit which is why I don't drink 4 of these like that woman said, and I honestly feel that these drinks don't make you anymore blackout than jaegar and red bull do to me.  I think it would be utterly pointless to ban these simply because it's all about knowing your limits.  If these go illegal I will begin making my own at $3 a can so come find me

okay here is a compelling argument for all you people whom are trying to turn this into a grammar contest.  First off, let us not lose focus here, this is about ALCOHOL.  This is not English class, so quite trying to bring that shit into the conversation.  Secondly, I want to point out that i'm not a drinker, i actually hate alcohol (for the most part), but anyboy and everybody has the choice of what they put into their body.  Anything in moderation is not going to kill you, AS LONG AS it's used responsibly. I'm surprised that young girl didn't end up in the hospital after drinking 4 of those, WOW is all I can say.  If you start restricting alcohol, then you must restrict anything and everything that is harmful to people, fast food, cigarettes, even cars.  Think about the number of people that are murdered in vehicles annually, so are we to begin putting restrictions on those? No, this all stems back to responsibility. Many parents these days shelter their kids heavily and then they enter the real world and do not know how to handle themselves.  So, in all reality education is the key! Instead, our solution is to shun the dangers of society, we say "stay away from this or don't ever do that!  This is just like the prohibition in the 20's and 30's.  It's the same with marijuana, slowly becoming the largest cash crop in america and medically legalized in 14 states, but yet many of us shun it, because irresponsibility is associated with it.  So what's the solution, TEACH RESPONSIBILITY TO YOUR KIDS, inform them about everything!  Otherwise, they could be the ones ingesting 4 Four Lokos, or turn into the crack head on the corner!  It's your choice.

they got other kinds that are almost same thing but just don't taste as good, and they are only banning that brand?

After finding out four loko is on it's way out of stores... and as a Jersey resident I will be getting swasted tonight on them before everyone's whining gets to the officials... Your only bitching and griping because you  can't handle it yourselves. It's not 4 loko's fault your daughter can't drink. If there's a complete ban of the drink, I won't be sweating.. Just wait till the next drink takes it's place...  btw... how would people protest these rulings? By getting a huge group of four loko drinkers out side court houses waving their can in the air?

four loko made me poop.
