when will they ban fourlokos?

They are still trying to get it banned.

Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna is now calling for a ban on the alcoholic energy drink that has become nearly ubiquitous at college parties throughout the U.S., and many other states are considering following suit.

Four Loko derives its name from its four primary ingredients: alcohol, caffeine, taurine and guarana. Not surprisingly, it isn’t the taurine or guarana that has health officials worried, but what they view as the hazardous combination of caffeine and alcohol.

The drink is giving people exactly what they want and isn’t the problem but only a portion of a larger, dangerous cultural trend.

My guess is that rumors these drinks were going to be "banned" were started by the companies that make them as a marketing effort....

(If the government were going to outlaw them, they would have done so already!)
