New Four Loko and Other 'Alcopops' Excite Kids, Not State Senator
    #14205149 - 03/29/11 06:20 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/03/new_four_loko_a.php

New York State Senator Jeff Klein is still ramping up with campaign against the the new Four Loko, which was stripped of all caffeine after national controversy sparked by sick kids and even death. But he says the new brew is still not safe enough and should only be sold in liquor stores. Now, Klein has announced an April 12 hearing and given his cause a name: "alcopop abuse." He claims that the product, which contains 12% alcohol, is still being marketed toward young people, probably because of the bright colors and fruity flavors and impossibly low price. "Four Loko is for people who don't have enough money and want a drink," an 18-year-old told the Daily News today. "It still looks really cool."

Klein, as we reported over the weekend, is working to introduce a bill that would require any liquid with over 6% alcohol, 1% sugar and a fruit flavor to be sold in a liquor store instead of a deli or bodega, next to the beer.

The News reports that 18 bodegas were busted for selling Four Loko or similar drinks, like Joose, in cans still packed with caffeine. Based only on our own anecdotal evidence, it's true: bodegas across the borough have taken to re-stocking and selling leftover Loko, complete with caffeine, in addition to the new, less exciting blend.

Abuse your alcopops while you still can because the adults aren't done yet. Add some bath salts and salvia for a (legal-for-now) party that will almost certainly end awfully.

Do they not realize that a lot of that grocery store wine is 10-14%?

These fucking trashy drinks are always getting so much media time. What happened to people buying liquor and getting wasted off of a fifth.

Apparently this falls under the category alcohol pop.

Besides, I work in retail, the number one buyer of candy I see isn't kids, its adults.  And whats the gum of choice of our adult base?  Rainbow colored gum balls, just cause its brightly colored and sweet, doesn't mean adults don't like it.

Damn career politicians just looking for a easy button.
