What is the big deal about Four Loko?

I tried it and its NAAAAAAASSSSTYYYYY. There are other alchohal-energy drinks that have been on the market and they all taste just as terrible (especially B to the E). You could drink any 12% malt liquor with a Monster and get the same effect. I can't figure out why college students love it so much. Jager and Red Bull tastes great, has more alcohol and more caffeine ounce for ounce. So tell me, what is the big deal? Why are so many people in love with it.

I don't want to hear "cause it gets you all F'd up", well so does a double-deuce of 8-ball and a Sparks chaser....gimme the real reason.

Did I mention that 4-Crapo tastes like famunda?

    im with you 100% on this and distributors are actually either pulling them or selling out the rest of their stock till they take out the energy drink part of it. im 21 and people my age like it because its cheap and looks cool to hold at a party. you spend 3 bucks and get drunk as hell but with a cost. i had one and my stomach has never hurt so bad while drinking. when i want a sweet drink ill get a couple twisted teas.

    Because college kids don't care what it tastes like -- each 4Loko is worth 4 beers, so they just drink up! Then they end up in the ER with alcohol poisoning.

    Personally I say let a few die. Then the rest will be more careful.

    its the same as drinking 4 budweisers and 3 cups of coffee.

    the problem is you get all "f'd up" and then you cant pass out because of the caffeine. haha i dont know

    They say drinking one four loko is the equivalent to drinking four beers, two cups of coffee, a small taco, a ghost, and a park bench.

    They're changing it, taking out the caffeine in it so its not as bad. It'll still taste like ***

    I agree it's nasty. Couldn't even get one sip down. It's the 'in' thing and is relatively inexpensive.
