Blackout in a Can

http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/10/25/was...x.html?npt=NP1 1 can of this stuff equals 6 beers? LOL The nickname spells it out for you. What gets me though is they want to ban it. Seriously? Other people shit their pants and now I have to wear a diaper? It's no surprise that College is a binge drinking fest for most students. I say

They want to ban it because it's fruit flavored? Ummm....I could make a laundry list of pussy liquors and drinks given fruit flavoring. You gonna ban all those too? Not that I would drink something like this regularly, but now i'm curious to try one...

I say wow, that shit sounds revolting. caffinated malt liquor, seriously?? it tickles me to no end how the first urge of some folks, possessed of extremely small minds, is to ban things. because banning something always makes it go away, right?

The only three beers worth drinkin' in this land are the almighty Milwaukee's Best, Pabst Blue Ribbon (hell, you can't go wrong with a beer that won the BLUE RIBBON!), and Budweiser. None of that sissy "lite" shit for me... no sissy drinks for me either. I like my beer straight up and real. Now someone throw in some Merle Haggard or some Waylon Jennings and I'm in heaven. That's all. j.p.

No, they want to ban it because it is an alcoholic energy drink "Being able to feel the effects of tiredness, loss of coordination and even passing out or vomiting are the body's defenses against consuming doses of alcohol that will kill you," professor Ken Briggs said. "Regardless, once the blood alcohol level reaches a certain level, you can drop like a box of rocks." Not saying I agree with that reasoning, since we often drink coffe to sober up after a drunk. . . .but I highly doubt they would ban it because it's fruity.

That's all. j.p. A buddy of mine talks all KINDS of shit about me drinking Bud Light and Coors Light and would always talk about better beers and one of his personal favorites....He also brews his own beer and invited me over one day to help him drink his stash so he could start on his new stuff. Well, after this night it ended up making me venture out(I started a group on here posting pics of beer and my opinions) a little. I came to the conclusion that there are alot of better beers out there and that coors light and bud light don't really have much of a flavor in the beer world. My new favorite has to be Samuel Adams Octoberfest but to get back to the point...He said his favorite was Lablatt Blue. I try it and it's no damn different than Coors light. LOL Stupid Asshole

The article also says they want to ban it because its fruity flavor masks the taste of the alcohol, so it's marketed to younger drinkers. Or some bullshit like that.

Ooh, just in time for me to consume! Legally... which is how I perform most actions... Hey JD, ever try Rolling Rock?

Ooh, just in time for me to consume! Legally... which is how I perform most actions... Hey JD, ever try Rolling Rock? Rolling Rock ain't bad beer at all. I prefer my cheap American piss-beer though. The only beer I refuse to drink is Natty Light. And that's because I have standards as a human being. If I have money (haha, yeah right), my two most favorite "real" beers would be Guinness and Boddingtons. Normally I just drink to get drunk -- so the three beers I previously mentioned work great for that purpose on a budget. j.p. ---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ---------- Just having sex in a canoe right? Clang, I'm drunk off my bloody arse right now, but I don't get the reference? Even if I was sober I still may not get it. To quote the late great Dennis Hopper: "Heinekin? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!" j.p.

The moonshine all dried up in Knoxville? No, the supply I have from Popcorn Sutton before he passed is supposed to be a secret though. What happened between you and Popcorn Sutton isn't supposed to be mentioned. Let's just say my aunt and uncle have a basement wall dedicated to the memory of Popcorn Sutton and friday nights, if that tells you anthing (grin) -- friday nights which I enjoy to partake. j.p.

The article also says they want to ban it because its fruity flavor masks the taste of the alcohol, so it's marketed to younger drinkers. Or some bullshit like that. That's just the media making shit up. The reason it's on the verge of being banned is the same reason Sparks no longer contains ginseng/caffeine/taurine: because mixing extreme amounts of natural uppers with a depressant is bad news for your body - mostly the heart. I've felt on the verge of passing out after chugging a Sparks, back "in the day", because of how fast and erratic it made my heart beat. Four Loko does the same shit to ya, only gets you more drunk in the process. Also, I don't understand why it's taken years for people to find out about Four Loko? It's getting slightly irritating having a new person (or two) each week asking "You hear of that new drink Four Loko?!?!" (This doesn't apply to anyone in this thread.)
