Looks like Four locos ARE getting the boot.

You can always add caffeine to your beverages.

What a bunch of shit. I'm not even a fan of Four Loko but I do enjoy Sparks on occasion. It's retarded that some dumbass college kids who couldnt handle their booze are ruining it for those of us who drink it responsibly. Woo America!

sparks went caffeine free about a year ago and no one noticed btw

Never had the shit, not really interested, but I'm not too big on the government regulating what we can & can't have. Stuff like cannabis comes to mind. Some things are just plain harmful with no benefits to society, but prohibition rarely solves the problem.

There is some report that college kids got sick off the stuff. I'm pretty sure we got sick off a lot of different types of liquor in college lol.

Good point. I got wasted for the first time when I was 15, and thought it'd be a good idea to drink Old Milwaukee, then some orange Mad Dog, then some grape Mad Dog, then some warm Hood River vodka straight. I was sick as hell and thought I was going to die. These products should be banned!

[e30-RTN]

I'm so fucking pissed now. My stupid nanny state banned it!!!

If I want to drink Four Loko I should be able to!

Motherfuckers!!!!!

four loko is disgusting. On another note: Rogue, i actually just finished a pint of the American Amber Ale that my brother sent to me in a care package, hahaha. stuff is amazing!

Real absinthe was illegal until like two years ago.


Yeah. They regulate the Thujone level, a compound derived from Wormwood. Even the full strength stuff doesnt have enough in it to make you hallucinate. Its an urban myth. You would have to consume something like five bottles (average ABV is 80%), to have any hallucinogenic effects. We have a bottle of Czech Absinthe and it doesn't do anything.

Wormwood isn't illegal anymore. Neither is Absinthe. There are a few absinthe distilleries in Oregon actually. It's the thujon levels from the wormwood that's regulated in the US.

I'm looking into it.

It was my understanding that Absinthe is legal, but it's made without wormwood, which is why it's legal.

EDIT: Looks like it still has the same compound (thujone) but at least 2/3 lower on average vs the original absinthe.

Wormwood is illegal in the states, so please provide proof that FourLoko has it as an ingredient.

Not the stuff sold in Europe.

In the sidebar, it's cute you young kids that just repeat stuff you've heard without actually knowing what you are talking about.

Wikipedia told me it had wormwood.

EDIT: I just looked it up on Wiki again, the whole paragraph about wormwood in it isn't there anymore?
