Doctors Issue Warning About Four Loko Energy Drink

Doctors Issue Warning About Four Loko Energy Drink
October 13, 2010 - wjbf.com



York, PA -- Looks can be deceiving...the brightly colored can is landing people in the hospital.

Doctor Mike Reihart, Lancaster (Penssylvania) General Hospital: "I've not seen one alcoholic beverage create this many problems this early on."

For each of the last few weekends, Doctor Mike Reihart has seen about a half dozen people in Lancaster General Hospital's emergency room after drinking Four Loko.

Dr. Reihart: "People come in vomiting, unconcious...with a loss of gag reflex. My concern is when someone gets to the point of intoxication they can actually die."

Four Loko has caffeine like an energy drink, plus 12 percent alcohol, that's about three times the average beer. dr. Reihart says the 23-ounce drink...one can...is equal to 6 beers.

Tom Sagonas, Thirsty's Quick Stop owner: "Yeah, I didn't get it at first but the demand was too much, so we finally brought it in."

At Thirsty's Quick Stop, owners didn't really want to sell it, and now that they do, it's "carry out" only.

Sagonis: "That alcohol content is probably a bad combination to have. People drink it in house."

Young people like Rashaad Day have heard of the drink, and the test is to try and drink four cans.

Dr. Reihart:  Some of the patients that I've had, trying to get to that mythical four, usually pass out around three because they've ingested about 18 beers."

Dr. Reihart says it has the street name "Liquid Cocaine".

Rashaad Day, York, PA: "If you drink four, there's a couple of things that are gonna happen. One, you're gonna act dumb. You're gonna get really sick. You're gonna throw up and you can pontentially die."

One doctor says the people coming to the ER range from grown men to girls as young as 16-years-old. Most have severe alcohol poisoning after trying to drink four cans of Four Loko.

There's nothing wrong with four loko.  There's something wrong about drinking like a dumbass though.  No shit there's gonna be problems after 4.  You black out after 2, which says thats the right amount to stop.

Yeah my boyfriend drinks these - but he's never been stupid enough to drink 4 in 1 sitting.

I wish that people didn't have to be warned about stupid things like this...it tells you what % alcohol content it is right on the can, and if you drink beer it should be obvious that it's a lot stronger than normal beers.

I thought when I saw this title that it meant that Four Loko had some other type of danger besides the alcohol content, but it's just a warning that drinking the equivalent of 24 beers can give you alcohol poisoning.

I mean, duh.

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.

Yes they are saying that it is 3x more potent than the average beer, and one can of Four Loko contains about twice as much drink as the average can of beer so 1 can of Four Loko = 6 cans of Budweiser.

The problem that nobody has picked up on is the CAFFEINE.

The simultaneous ingestion of caffeine + the alcohol is whats causing the problems.

This shit sucks so bad only buy it if your desperate for a buzz and poor. Sparks is THE best energy drink / alcohol combo but they changed the ingredients a few years back I think. Around where I live they are kinda hard to find now.

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:

I agree.:lol:

"I just buy what is on the shelf and consume as much as I can because I am smart, who needs to know what your ingesting when you can just ingest large amounts of it and find out what happens!"
: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.

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.

This is stupid, kids getting all cocky and cant handle their booze. lets start a new mythical drinking quota, betcha ya cant drink a fifth of everclear...  no? well would it help if it was packaged in a pretty colorful bottle?

You are stupid if you drink until the point that you have to go to the hospitol. Go drink shitty keg beer at frat parties until you learn how to hold your alcohol, or even better anyone that does this should be restricted to wine coolers and 3.2 beer for their own safety.

You have to be illiterate or completely retarded to not understand that these drinks are high in alcohol content and should be consumed responsibly.  I checked the can of a JOOSE last night... it says in ELEVEN (11) places how much alcohol it has, it contains alcohol, consume responsibly, etc.  I have no sympathy for people who do not heed to this.  On the other hand, it'd be nice if people knew how much caffeine they contained.

The problem that nobody has picked up on is the CAFFEINE.

The simultaneous ingestion of caffeine + the alcohol is whats causing the problems.




That is not the problem the article is talking about.  The article is talking about people drinking copious quantities of alcohol... basically complaining about the colorfulness of Four Loco and the high alcohol content.

I wish that people didn't have to be warned about stupid things like this...it tells you what % alcohol content it is right on the can, and if you drink beer it should be obvious that it's a lot stronger than normal beers.

I thought when I saw this title that it meant that Four Loko had some other type of danger besides the alcohol content, but it's just a warning that drinking the equivalent of 24 beers can give you alcohol poisoning.

I mean, duh.





This.

I tried the orange flavored one because of this thread.  I was happy with how fucked up one can got me I guess, but the taste was fucking awful.  I'd rather drink just about anything, even Keystone Ice.

I tried drinking two cans last night... don't know why I thought it would be fun to do on a Monday night...  And I am a pretty big guy and can hold liquor pretty well....

But I didn't finish the second can, got about 2/3 the way through it before I was soo drunk that I almost started puking.  I'm not hungover now but I swore off alcohol altogether last night... lol.  And I swear I still feel just a little bit tipsy here 10 hours later.

After the first can, the buzz made me feel like I was on drugs more than drunk.  It was a fun feeling, not sure what all they put in the drink but the combination kicks your ass.

Can't imagine how anyone could drink more than 2 cans in one sitting without blacking out because I was almost there and I've never blacked out from booze before.

I know people that drink 2 daily...they could probably drink 3 or 4 without blacking out easily but their alcohol tolerance is pretty high. These are skinny dudes tho.

I'm not entire sure what it is, but something in alcoholic energy drinks prevents me from getting horribly hungover.  I don't feel 100% the next day, but I feel WAY better than I would if I drank an equivalent amount of alcohol in the form of beer, wine, liquor, etc.

Also, trying to drink more than one JOOSE or Four Loko is a horrible idea, IME.  One is all you need for the benefits.  Then you should switch to beer or something that's not AED or liquor. :smile2:

Also JOOSE >>>>>> Four

I've tried one joose and one loko so far.  I have certainly reached the end of my in vivo trials for these drinks.

I threw up both times.  I come to realize now that I have a food coloring allergy and these assholes are fucking putting food coloring in beer.  I can no longer support this enterprise in any sense of the word, my morbid curiousity having been satisfied to a sufficient degree that it no longer overpowers my economic sensibilities.
