I won't miss you. Not one bit.
For those of you not familiar, Four Loko is a brand of caffeinated alcohol, which, until recently, was a favorite among alcoholic college students.
The theory is that the caffeine in the product would dampen the effects of the alcohol, letting you drink more before you fell asleep or passed out.
Of course, this concept is nothing new, as people have been consuming the combo for as long as I have been alive (Heard of a rum and coke?), but because some irresponsible college kids got alcohol poisoning, the FDA and state legislators have lost their minds and threatened to ban the beverage.
As a result, Four Loko announced yesterday that it would remove all caffeine from its products, thus essentially putting themselves out of business.
Lets be honest here. Four Loko is one of the worst tasting products to ever exist. I enjoy cough syrup more. Seriously. The only reason anyone drinks/drank it was because of the caffeine. Even Stephen Colbert knows that.
So now, college students, return to mixing red bull and liquor, because your Loko days are over.
