Quote :

"At least four states — Michigan, Oklahoma, Utah and Washington — have instituted at minimum an emergency ban on the beverages. Perdue’s request comes almost a year after the FDA issued a notice to nearly 30 manufacturers of alcoholic energy beverages that asked them to show how they can legally add caffeine to the beverages. If the beverage-makers cannot provide proof, the FDA said it “will take appropriate action to ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace.”"

Quote :

"Jon Williams, the chairman of the commission, told The Associated Press that his proposal would take the beverages out of stores starting 68 days after the meeting. Perdue did not say yesterday what actions she would take if the companies fail to comply."

the meeting was on thursday. prepare for 1/18/2011

this is so stupid.

ban busch light if you really want to prevent binge drinking.

11/15/2010 4:34:51 PM

I thought this was America

11/15/2010 4:36:51 PM

Why doesn't the FDA provide proof of why the company CAN'T put caffeine in their alcohol?

They're the fuckin FDA, they should know shouldn't they?

Bev Purdue has already called for them to be pulled from shelves. Heard that on NPR last week.

11/15/2010 4:40:22 PM

fwp?

for real though, what good is banning this really going to do? none, that's what.

she hasn't mandated it yet, but she is asking for it to be done... i reeeeally dislike her. This is just another book on the shelf of my disdain for that woman and what she has done (and not done) while in office

11/15/2010 4:45:41 PM

I hope you pricks that voted for Perdue are happy!


Seriously though, just another example of how we have to coddle the public through regulation.

meh.

11/15/2010 5:31:46 PM

why not just move them to the abc store?

11/15/2010 5:35:27 PM

im actually kinda surprised people buy this stuff

it does have a high content though

11/15/2010 5:38:38 PM

Get out of here with your logic and reason! Heathen!

11/15/2010 5:38:41 PM

This is fucking retarded. I could go to Walgreens and buy 50 things off the shelf that are more potent and dangerous than FOUR LOKO. What the fuck America?

11/15/2010 6:29:17 PM

I thought America stood for freedom?

America has a fear of stupid people killing themselves.
Alas, the problem fixes itself!
...if only you let it.


Stop banning shit, America.

Thank god

Now I can go out to the bars and binge drink recklessly without my hair and clothes smelling like an ashtray four loko

11/15/2010 6:49:25 PM

rode with some people to taco bell and put lemonade loko in my baja blast

11/16/2010 10:18:57 PM

it just a low power jager bomb that tastes like wild irish rose, they havent banned that shit so I dont see the point in banning four lokos

11/16/2010 10:24:48 PM

Four loko is losing the caffeine. Just heard it on the news.

11/16/2010 11:09:34 PM

what we need to do is subsidize 4 loko, not ban it. Keep everyone happy

Or tax it. Figure out how to pay for this overgrown mountain of debt

11/16/2010 11:15:12 PM

well they should start putting little caffeine packets on the cans with a little clear wrapper.... then you can just add it to your drink haha

It's a known fact that some people are prone to be in debt no matter how much income they have. Only people that know how to implement tolerance, restraint, frugality, and have jewish DNA can save money.

11/17/2010 12:13:52 AM

Why are people going to miss this shit?

11/17/2010 2:22:31 AM

"Easier version: Mountain Dew, Tang, and vodka. That was our study beverage in college. Called it "Caligula's Death Ride.""

From the comments on a video that linked from Engadget about how to make your own Four Loko.

...sadly I closed the window and cannot share it with you all. The video showed a guy filling a cup up with a monster energy drink, then putting five jolly ranchers and a caffeine pill into it. They let it "come together" for 9-12 hours, then filled it with malt liquor and a touch of sprite.

11/19/2010 2:42:16 PM

11/19/2010 2:45:57 PM

11/19/2010 2:47:53 PM

^ i like it

11/19/2010 2:51:21 PM

i wonder how many of the tards pushing for the ban ever followed up some binge drinking with a couple cups of coffee to help them "sober up"

11/19/2010 2:55:52 PM

^^^ at least they know how to handle their Loko, unlike White America
