Back in my heavy drinking and partying days I decided that a cheaper version of Four Loko was bottom shelf vodka, store brand soda, and caffeine pills. Everything generally went as horribly as it did when I drank Four Loko, so it was a success I guess?

Energy drinks don't usually have much more caffeine than a cup of coffee, it's all the bull bile/herbs/legal speed they put in it that gives it that kick.

It's been my understanding that that is all marketing bullshit and the caffeine is really the only stuff in those energy drinks that actually does anything. A brief google search seems to support this.

Murphy Brownback posted:I don't think I can let the alcohol conversation die without mentioning four lokos. Imagine a very sugary flavored drink that had a bunch of old pennies added to it to give it a very metallic taste and let it rot for a few years, and that comes close to describing my feelings of the taste of the stuff. They come (or at least, came when I drank them) in 24 oz cans, boasting ABVs up to 12%. My favorite at the time was the "red" flavor - I forget what it was supposed to be, but I think "red" describes the flavor pretty much. Maybe they are a little tamer now but back when they still had caffeine in them and were essentially vodka+redbulls it was real easy to go way too overboard and redecorate your apartment in red like a 28 days later zombie. True story, the class behind me at my college was responsible for getting the caffeine removed from Four Loko. Bunch of idiot freshman getting alcohol poisoning because THEY KEEP YOU GOING ALL NIGHT BRUH!

A brief google search seems to support this. An 8oz can of red bull only has 80mg of caffeine, a 16oz can of Rockstar has 160mg of caffeine, and a 5 Hour Energy shot has 200mg of caffeine. By comparison, an 8oz cup of coffee has about 100mg of caffeine and a caffeine pill has 200mg. If it was just the caffeine then a large cup of coffee or a single caffeine pill would give people the exact same effects.

That's what I'm saying, studies seem to show that coffee and regular caffeine does give the same effects as Red Bull and Monster, at least from what I remember hearing and what I pulled up on some google searches. But I don't really care that much, so whatever.

Quid posted:found about a 12 pack that my cousin had from before they reformulated them. Good news. I actually checked the box and there were 9 cans. There's 2 parties I'd like to split them between and 3 of the cans were watermelon flavor. I figured I'd test one myself before any party. No sense poisoning everyone else.   So how did it taste? Depends on how you're judging a 5 year old can of swill. It smelled like artificial watermelon, it tasted like artificial watermelon. I don't particularly like that flavor so it didn't taste great but it could have been worse. I don't have a frame of reference for what they taste like fresh but my guess is that it's not that different, maybe less carbonation. I considered drinking most of the 4 by myself at one of the parties but that seems like a bad idea considering how quick it is to consume a can of this. I can definitely understand why this got a reputation. There was no alcohol flavor and another can or two and I'd be pretty twisted,

subpar anachronism posted:Malt liquor pretending to be beer and no mention of THE KING? I don't think it even comes in containers smaller than forties, and is in the same price range as Steel Reserve/Colt 45/etc. Steelies and OE are available in small containers now because so many big cities have liquor exclusion zones now. In downtown Portland (OR) for instance you cant sell anything above a certain % and also you can't sell single containers above 13oz. It worked for a while and got the hobos to wander elsewhere, but the hipsters got mad and so now you can find Steel Reserve in normal beer bottles and OE/Mickeys in those plastic screwtop juice bottle looking ones. It's super duper classist as well because there are tons of places where you can buy all those 16oz bottles of "nice" beer and those places never get busted or hassled by the OLCC but anywhere that tries to sell a tall boy or a 40 is going to have dudes writing them up within the week. I started drinking right when Sparks and FourLoco were the big thing. I used to drink 40's and Hobo wine type stuff but I've honestly had a lot of all those ultra lovely caffeinated alchopops. They all taste like poison but 4L is definitely the worst. Would rather drink mad dog. Actually that reminds me of the Buddy, IDK when this got started but it was a thing for a while. It's a 50/50 mix of the blue MD 20/20 and Mountain Dew. It was the classy upgrade from what we used to call the "freshman mojito" which was where you drank down like 25% of a sprite/sierra mist and then emptied an entire bottle of alcoholic mint extract into the bottle.

Yeah, before going out one night, me and one of my college friends played four loko pong in the basement of the disgusting house I lived in at the time. She had picked up a case earlier that week. The smell of the blue overpowered the wet, musty reek of the basement so well that we were convinced we should do it every night. The next morning, I woke up with a 5 foot tall Filippino dude (I'm 6'2) in my bed that I knew from campus that apparently got real up on me and kept yelling about wanting to "grab my dick" to my friends. So obviously I took him home. This never happened again after they changed the formulation. Although I also never played pong with loko again. So what I'm saying is 4loko please change it back Ive been so lonely for so long. My roommate claims to have shotgunned one but I never fully believed him. He was really good at shotgunning though... Fake edit: I just remembered the loving 4 loko POWER HOUR that we did for some misguided reason for someone's birthday. I can't remember if this was before or after the above incident, but the next morning looked like a unicorn murder/suicide from all the multicolored puke. It actually made cleanup great because everyone knew exactly where they had thrown up/what they needed to clean. One guy passed out in the bathroom and got peed on, and another guy and his future girlfriend threw up on each other in the middle of hooking up. I'm actually amazed that no one got hurt. This was all at a pretty small liberal arts school in the city. The state of higher education in America. E: The color definitely changed those years it sat in that can, it used to be pink as far as I can remember. QuickbreathFinisher has a new favorite as of 04:25 on Nov 28, 2015 |

I don't drink, personally, so alcohol chat has completely flew over my head. But, I'd feel lovely about just saying to shut up about beer or whatever so I went and got some content!             4LOKO does ring a bell though. Didn't that stuff kill people or was that another energy drink called Cocaine or something ridiculous? RareAcumen has a new favorite as of 05:00 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Also wasn't sparks like 4loco? Years ago I worked with a guy that would grab a couple at the corner liquor store every day after work. I'd grab my usual beers or whatever and I was two of those every day.

There were some other horrors from that promotion as well, but this one stuck in my mind as the worst.

Titus Sardonicus posted:And what the gently caress is that in the second picture? This is just wild speculation buuuuut: -mayo or horseraddish sauce (probably the second) -a very skinny sausage of some kind (Linguica or Lap Cheong would be my guess) -a slice of pepperjack (melted) -a piece of swiss (half melted and sweaty, a telltale sign of microwaved or heated up swiss cheese) -at first I thought there was a smaller piece of cheese ontop of the swiss (maybe some brie) but it may also be the melted swiss that has been relocated by hand since it has all the stringy bits -a normal slice of bread ACES CURE PLANES posted:Cotton Candy Beef This is goofy but probably pretty good. I saw people do this kind of stuff all the time with jaggery during my brief visit to Malaysia and Pakistan which is basically just compressed hard palm sugar. He's just turning it into a sugar syrup for a sort of teriyaki sauce (since the garlic and brown sauce would imply a sort of sweet and salty Korean/Japanese BBQ dish, as would the thin cut beef).

Bringing back beer chat: a group of my parents' friends bought a six pack of Old Chicago in the 70s and have been passing the last can amongst themselves as a booby prize ever since.  While looking for that image I was astonished to find that it still exists, as a restaurant chain.
