No they got it right.

A beer is 12 oz and has about 4-5% alc. 

4 loko is 24 oz. (2 beers in vol.) and has 12% alc. (about 3 beers worth).

2*3 = 6 beers in one can of 4 loko. 

This shit is fun and doesn't taste that bad surprisingly.  Plus its only $3.50. haha. i've seen a friend shotgun two of them.  4 would be unreal.




thats five beers not six

I drank 3 of these in a good 4 hours a week ago. I've got a solid alcohol tolerance but I was fucked up and had a hangover until 7 or 8pm the next day. The shakes, too. Fuck the Mythical 4th

OK, So it is "Synthetic cocaine" and the DEA needs to ban it!:rolleyes:

What about liquor? how much alcohol is in a 23 oz cup of 150 proof?
"150 proof is 75% Alcohol by Volume"
There is 6.25 times as much alcohol in 23 oz of 150 proof than there is in this "Four Loko" drink.
Drink 4 bottles of 150 proof liquor and 10 cups of coffee.:shake:

:slowtard:

Obviously, they should offer the sell of the cans in 6oz and put a warning label on it that explains how much stronger it is compared to beer. I also believe that ALL alcoholic drinks should be REQUIRED to put the % of alcohol somewhere on the container, because very few beers actually list the percent, however most liquor/mixed-drinks tell you the percent.

These things taste awful, but the buzz is fun... if you don't have anything better... and YOU ONLY DRINK ONE!!! I use to drink them cause they were cheap and one of them would have you happy and wired all night. Great for pre-gaming concerts and what not. I made the mistake of drinking 2 once and ended up layin in the grass dry heaving in a puddle of my own puke with an instant hangover for 4 hours straight, not something the equivalent to 12 drinks would normally do to me (I use to be a bit of an alcoholic). Never touched them again after that. Anyone who tries to drink four of these deserves to die, and will probably wish they had.

Not just the caffine but like all the other energy drink ingredients make that shit so bad for you. Its always a great clean happy drunk state for me, but they mess up my stomache the next day even just after one.

Sadly these things are being watered down and sold in states that don't allow mass distribution of 12% alcohol content malt liquors.

In Mississippi these things are available only as 6% alcohol.

They'll eventually ban it and that'll be the end of another dumb fad.
