Energy Drinks With Alcohol Banned In Michigan November 5, 2010 - wtvbam.com
UNDATED (WKZO) - Alcohol energy drinks are now a ‘no-no’ in the state of Michigan. The Michigan Liquor Control Commission has issued an order banning the products and says it will give stores 30-days to get them off their shelves. The order follows reports of a number of young people getting sick after drinking the alcoholic beverages, which are laced with caffeine and other stimulants.
The ban covers more than 50 products from four manufacturers currently approved for sale in the state—they include the drink “Four Loko”, which is comparable to consuming five to six cans of beer. The drink is often referred to as ‘black-out in a can’ or “liquid cocaine”.

I had a Four Loko last night for the first time because it was free....let's just say that I will stick to beer from now on. It is the most vile tasting alcoholic beverage aside from cheap diluted gas station liquor, and it made me feel absolutely terrible with all of that caffeine and sugar in it.
-------------------- I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view. We shall have to shift from the materialistic, dualistic belief that people and their environment are separate, toward a new conciousness of an all-encompassing reality, which embraces the experiencing ego, a reality in which people feel their oneness with animate nature and all of creation.- Albert Hoffman

banning them? havnt they heard of natural selection?
of course these things arent good for you, but the only people getting hurt by them are the dumbasses who would of overdosed anyways;
if it wasnt four loko itd be Jim Bean or some other hard alcohol, if you drink 1-2 four lokos your fucked up but fine, its the retards that try and pound 5 in 30 minutes that die, and those retards would have died anyway
what happened to "free market"
