Four Loko, Before
For a hot minute in 2010, Four Loko was all anyone could talk about. Because this caffeinated alcoholic beverage was so potent that sales were restricted or even banned. Human nature being what it is, the restrictions led to a wave of interest in the drink, and kids started buying up all the stock to throw Four Loko parties. Everyone who attended a Four Loko party woke up the next day with the worst hangover of their lives. And that’s how they learned that not only was Four Loko of questionable safety, it was also basically sewage.
