I've done Edward 40 Hands with all kinds of 40's...
I've done Champ Hands with Champagne (not recommended...way too many bubbles)...
I'm thinking it's about time to get a little loco with some Loko Hands...
 
update: just cracked aforementioned four loko. flavor: cranberry lemonade. status: fresh, deliciously intoxicating.

should be ready to go in an hour or so.

Don't.

That is VERY illegal and you could get the driver in DEEP shizznit if you do that and are caught.

And yes, there are quite a few guys that considered themselves "not idiots" that have been caught doing stuff like this.

Alcohol only takes 15 minutes (or less) to hit you. You can't wait 15 minutes?

BTW, a 4.5 drink start is a little rough. Try about 1 shot for every 75lbs of water weight you have (IOW, not fat). you will get a base line. After that, sipping anything will keep you pleasantly skimming the entire night.

More than about 1 per hour and you will get more than the baseline. Just be careful, you start early and even if you are careful, buzzing for 6+ hours will dehydrate you and leave you with a NASTY hangover....

Caffene is also a diuretic. Drink some gatorade if you insist on loading up on both for the night.
 
I have a similar story. I was out of state visiting some friends from college. We were charged with grabbing beer. I grabbed a 12 pack of oktoberfest and walked by the end of the coolers where they have the singles and other random drinks. The four loko caught my eye and no joke in my excitement the 12 pack of oktoberfest fell and smashed to the ground. I ended up getting 4 cans for me and a friend for that night. I woke up the next morning craving more loko. We went back for 12 more the next day(divided by 4 ppl). Was an awesome time. We drank one each and were so energized we dug up a shrub and built a rock fire pit in like 20 minutes flat. I then proceeded to use a chain saw to cut down some smaller trees in his yard. We also went grocery shopping and cooked a ham and made a nice glaze from scratch all while under the loko's spell. We got alot of landscaping done thanks to that 4 loko and enjoyed quite a nice night time fire. Great weekend overall nobody puked, nobody died.

😀
so you have success with a chainsaw on loko?

:hmm:

would you recommend trying this with a sandblaster?

Yes daddy, I mean mommy, I mean big brother government man.

Do you realize you had like 350 posts in 5 years prior to this thread? Please go back to your hole already
 
you're right. Lets pass more laws and encroach on some basic liberties because you think certain colors attract younger people more than others.

This is why prohibition failed. You want to take freedoms away from people because of your unfounded and unjustified opinion.. Or simply put, because you think everyone besides you is too stupid to make decisions for themselves. No one should have their personal rights diminished because you feel like it is in their best interest. Fuck you or anyone else who feels they have the right to make decisions for others. No one should care if you sleep more soundly at night knowing the streets aren't running wild with people drunk on four loko.

Your argument to this point is nothing but subjective personal opinion. The fact remains that there were already laws in place and if they had been enforced appropriately or parents intervened as they should have this wouldn't be an issue.

You don't make new laws to stop problems from happening just because the laws already in place weren't properly enforced.

But what do i know, hell lets give all our freedoms to make any decisions for ourselves away. I mean its only some shitty alcoholic beverage, who really cares if new laws are put into place for stupid shit like this. It's not like relinquishing more and more freedoms and power to the government is a slipper slope, right? Oh wait...

It feels like we're in a tug of war with the government over freedoms and personal privacy - except they have the fat kids at anchor, and some of these dbags on our team have let go of the rope and walked away.

WTF? What's illegal about what he said?
 
Just heard from a local news affiliate that the company that makes this stuff is taking the caffeine out of it. If they lose the lawsuit filed by that FSU student's family they may go OOB.

Nah, the company will probably go OOB under the load of their legal costs. My guess is that this is just the first on many lawsuits to be filed against the manufacturer. I see a class-action lawsuit in the future ...

lol. for what? There are millions of satisfied customers and a handful of douchebags. They have international distribution. They had an estimated 200 million in sales last year i'm sure they will be just fine.
 
LOL. I just get a kick out of some of you. Taking away your liberties? Taking away rights? These government agencies don't have the authority to do this? L-O-F'N-L!

You want to get your knickers in a bind over some crazy liquor laws, then how about all of the other blue laws on the books? Can't buy booze on Sunday's in many counties in the US. Can't buy booze in gas stations in parts of Wisconsin after 9:00. Can't buy booze on Sunday's in IL before 12:00PM. Or how about many of the states that put a huge tax and restriction if not outright block many high alchohol% beers from being sold like Belgians and strong ales. And the whole host of other ridiculous laws on the books about the sales of alcohol.

Oh but heaven forbid they take away your precious 4loco.

Your "liberty" and "rights" to buy an alcoholic beverage are whatever the state/feds deem fit.

Anyone filing a lawsuit should be going after the TTB/FDA/etc for approving it. Leave the manufacturer alone...they did everything they were supposed to in order to get their product approved for sale and consumption.
