Girls at house party not druged but Four Lokoed

Caffeinated Booze, Not Drugs, Sickened Students at Party
Police Say Four Loko Drink Behind Mass Overdose That Sent Nine to Hospital
Yahoo

A highly caffeinated, but legal alcoholic drink was responsible for a mass overdose that sent nine Central Washington students to the hospital and led to an investigation of whether the party-goers had been drugged, police said today.

Police said some 50 students became sick after consuming large amounts of the controversial but legal beverage Four Loko, which combines as much alcohol found in a six pack of beer with as much caffeine in two cups of coffee.

Date Rape Drug Suspected in Mass OD
Students Caught in Mass OD Could Be Expelled

The university announced at a news conference today in Ellensburg, Wash., that the blood-alcohol content of students ranged from .12 percent to .35 percent. In Washington, 0.08 is the legal limit for intoxication.

Nine students were hospitalized after the Oct. 8 party at a house where about 50 people had been drinking.

Police called to the scene of the house party, in Rosyln, Wash., about 30 miles from the university, found young people – many of them women – passed out throughout the house and on the front lawn.

Authorities at the time said they did not believe incident was a result of heavy drinking, but that someone had surreptitiously slipped drugs, possibly date rape drugs, into people's drinks.

Four Loko has been banned from several college campuses after students became ill.

people got all this "do the double down challenge" fuck that...lets see who can drink a couple cans of these a still walk!!!! lets do the four loko challenge!!!!

700 ml at 12%, is that really the same amount of alcohol as 2100 ml at 5.5? And "two cups of coffee"? Another version of this syndicated story says "five cups of coffee". But the truth is, the amount of caffeine is not disclosed, so it could be anything.

Stupid news stories... I used to drink stupid shit like this before.. it was Red Bull + Vodka

They're probably comparing the drink to a 6 pack of American beer, which is usually 3.5 - 4%.

No publicity is bad publicity, right? I wanna try me some Four Loko! Until the drink is banned of course

even at 4%, that's 115.5 ml of alcohol in a 6-pack. A can of Loko has 84 ml at most.

This is just stupid sensationalist news reporting. A bunch of people who don't drink much decided to drink too much, and that's all there is to it.

you cant its in the US only

4 loko is a killer guys dont be fooled by RS

RS tricked me I bought 2 and chugged both and got fuckin tossed just done completely

its sweet (in a unnatural kind of way) and the caffeine makes you feel fine then before you know you are drunk.

I would love to see someone drink 4 and stand standing.

this 4 loko shit is cheap too. you can buy it from any gas station for no more than 3 something. (The shell at Birch Bay sells it for 3.28)

Also they didnt even know that it was a alcholic drink when I bought it, commented that I must really like energy drinks. No ID and for a asian guy that speaks volumes XD

I consider myself a semi heavy drinker too but I took this drink too light and drank it down wayy too fast one after another

I think they came up with that number by saying it has 3 times the alcohol and is twice the size, hence 6 pack. Also 6X355= 2130mL x.04 = 85.2 mL So they are almost the same.

I drank 2 of these when i was in vegas, they are way too cheap and easy to drink. I did it over about 4 hours though.
