Like a moth to the flame burned by the fire, I was drawn to the pink and red camouflaged can of Four Loko. That or I had just finished listening to Janet Jackson. Either way, I wanted to get my drink on and 12% alcohol by volume with caffeine in a 24 oz can looked awesome hiding behind a glass door at the Kangaroo gas station. (They’re website rocks btw.)
I had heard of Four Loko from my northern-southern counterparts for some time and have been anticipating its arrival. I’ve even been interviewed by The Wall Street Journal’s alcohol division on the subject of malt liquors with caffeine in them. As a matter of fact, some of our readers were interviewed for the same article and are now famous. Seriously, they all got drunk on a Joose and Four Loko concoction and stole the bikes of every Mormon missionary on Denver.
But I digress. This is a review of Four Loko Fruit Punch Flavor Premium Malt Beverage. The first thing I noticed is that it looks and smells exactly like Max Vibe. It’s pink and fruity. It even tastes similar. However, it doesn’t have the same wangey bite to it. It actually doesn’t taste almost completely unlike fruit punch. Don’t get me wrong, there isn’t anything that could be farther from the taste of actual fruit punch, but it is a reasonable facsimile. BTW this is what I’m listening to right now and it rocks.
It actually tastes like what you would get if you put a Jolly Rancher in a Zima (Remember that?),topped it off with 151. (I am wide awake right now and wish I had a motorcycle)
Actually this stuff is GREAT! I feel like I could wrestle a gorilla. It doesn’t help that I’m listening to this either. I bet This flavor of Four Loko would be great mixed with some Smirnoff or Kettle One Vodka.
I’m not kidding. I’ve been nursing this 24oz can for almost an hour and I am buzzing like a criminal locked in a evidence room. This stuff is definitely worth the $2.50 a can price. I think I’m going to give some for my kid and send him to my parent’s house as payback for them getting him all hopped up on candy and sending home every Sunday afternoon.
I hope I can get my hands on every flavor:)
Its the shit. If your a true drinker, all you’ll need is 3. For real for real. It’s also cheaper. Get them stick them in the freezer get them slushy and dink them slow. Trust me. It will get you there
I had 8 coronas but the buzz dint hit me…..I asked my friend to suggest something with a punch. He said FOUR LOKO. Water melon went down pretty well. But the fruit punch gave me the biggest PUNCH any beer gave me. Totally wasted.
These don’t taste good at all, the watermelon nor the blueberry.. I would rather smoke weed then drink thhis shit!!:)
I am impressed / confused that the poster can correctly spell facsimilie, yet cannot correctly use they’re/their/there. Why???
Four lokos are the best im only 14 but have been drinking since in was 10 watermellon best loko flavor ever lemon is good to and lemon-lime is realy good wanna try cranberrylemonade but still looking for it looking forward to finding it and getting piss ass drunk it takes about 4 to get me ther im the champ man
Four Lokos are crazy, I got trashed on them a few weeks ago. I sat on the couch after downing 3 of them on top of lots of tequila and all I wanted to do was pass out but I couldnt because I was so wired. Never doing that again
The perfect predrink!!! Just have one every so often then hit up the club. FoUr LoCo FoR eVeR
These drinks make me want to NEVER drink again. Four loco is cheap for aareason,they dont give a damn if u get sick or die. I recommend not drinking them. The made me,my friend,and her brother drunk after drinking two. He took advantage of me bc these drinks make you mad horny(not suggesting you use them during sexual activity)im scard for life for what i found out he did to me. this happened last night acctually and today i still have a badass hangover!!:(the worst i threw up 6 times and lost 15 pounds!!. In fact, im laying in bed right now i have a slight stomach ache, im calling in to work for tomorrow two!!these drinkz are horrible!not worth anything!.
All the four loko haters, can seriously go suck a cock. Hicks.
I’ve had every single flavor and I strongly recommend grape. It tastes just like grape soda, best one I have ever had. Pour it in a glass, put some cubes in and your set. Have a fun night everyone on this awesome spring break!!!!
@philip-
Apparently you don’t know your limit, because you sound pretty gone in that comment…
Four Loko Watermelon x XXX Vitamin Water…try that its amazing…i guarentee it.
I tried the cranberry lemonade and found it to be absolutely awful. There can’t be any flavor worse.
I hope all of you sick aholes get alcohol poisoning and die
Taking the caffeine out of Four Loko is like taking FREEDOM out of the BILL OF RIGHTS
why would people drink some shit that is definitely a killer what i mean by this is if you wake up and can’t remember what you did than chances are you were open to anything sex with strangers being taken advantage of left for dead who knows the possibilities in a few years when you are diagnose with hiv or liver damage you would think back and regret the day you tried 4loko why take chances with your life remember you only get one and i would think you would want to remember
what happened to just drinking beer and capping the night off with a few lines of cocaine? four loko is for those who havent developed an appreciation of the oustanding refreshing taste of beer, hence little high school girls or college dorm BRO’s, you know who you are, drive the lifted truck with the metal militia sticker and your rockstar hat, yea dude, drinking a fruit punch flavored alcoholic beverage and giving your friend a cock meat stuffing surprise because you blacked out doesn’t make you cool. ban four loko, do cocaine, i guarantee it is better for you anyway.

Well, last night mikey took the Loko test. I drank two of these wicked things. grape and an orange. After the first one I felt a great buzz, was just chill’n watching tv. so what the hell drank another one. well its Sat. morning and I don’t remember much of last night. I do remember sitting on the couch unable to move for a few hours, occasionally reminding myself don’t forget to breath, finally 6 hrs later I was able to get to bed, but could’t sleep with a resting heart rate of 126. And to think I wanted to drink 3 of these things. If your not planning on interacting with anything other than furniture go for it.
Let me tell you, Four Loko is THE GREATEST. You get slizzered in only the amount it takes you to drink one beer compared to five… funneled. I am psyched over this. One drink in 20 minutes did the job of whst it would take me to drink 5 beers fast. I love this… forever.
I had half of a watermelon and half grape four loko and I got so fucked up I don’t remember anything but throwing up 5 times
my mom says she was going to take me to the hospital cause I kept crying and I also fell asleep in the restroom not to mention the hangover. .. It was just bad
never drinking that again ever!! the name definitely speaks for itself
My brother’s friend dared me to drink this (I’m only 11, by the way). I never had alcohol before and I thought that because it looked more like a juice it would have less alcohol in it. WRONG. It has 12% alcohol in it!! I started getting a buzz after drinking HALF. I threw up a lot the next morning to. Yucky stuff.
It may just be because I’m drinking a four loko right now, but as a journalism student at Florida Gulf Coast University I really appreciated this article. I love the way that you put links to the other things you are thinking about while writing. It was really refreshing, and obviously you are doing something right because the comments and stories that other users provided are entertaining as fuck. Really good job man.
I have been drinkin these for a few nights now and have finally experienced the Loko Hangover guys it is not fun at all at this moment i am laying down and have the worse stomach ache ever and i blacked out i had about 6 r 6 of these haha 2 orange 1 grape 1 fruit punch and 2 cranberry lemonade and they were all amazing but yea the first time black out drunk FML i threw up allllll night and cannot remember much other then leaning my head out the window and throwing up but 5 minutes later grabbing a water and downing it DEFFF a need to do experience but sadly to say i will lay off the Lokos for a while hahaha
so I tried a couple of these upon friends liking them and all I can say is no drink in my life has raped my masculinity more then four loko. I have been laughing my ass off for no goo reason since i first started drinking hours ago. so yea … drink responsibly.
