Four Loko has become a very popular drink at college parties. The drink is an alcoholic beverage that is also an energy drink. The drink comes in a 23.5 ounce can and has as much as 12% alcohol in a single can. That is the equivalent of almost 5 drinks in a single can. The drink has as much caffeine as three cups of coffee. It is also extremely heavy on calories, boasting 660 calories and 60 grams of sugar. The drink is also cheap. It costs about $2.50 a can. It packs a very powerful punch on those who drink it. College students from all over the country have been rushed to the hospital after drinking it. Ramapo College has sent 20 students to the hospital. The drink is slowly being banned from state to state. I disagree with this new ban. Four Loko is aimed towards college students who want a cheap buzz. Almost all college students are legal adults. Whether they are above or below the drinking age they are legally allowed to make their own choices. Four Loko is a malt beverage that mixes caffeine with alcohol. It is almost the same as a mixed drink. Mixed drinks are legal. Why should the government be banning a mixed drink that can be mixed at home? I'm completely for it being banned but I just think that the terminology behind the ban was a little silly.
