Wendigee posted:They banned alcohol+caffeine beverages in the US several years ago. I've never really understood outlawing alcoholic energy drinks. People have told me before it has something to do with discouraging drinking with a younger crowd, others say it's for health reasons because of the alcohol and energy drink combo, but either way if you can legally buy a bottle of vodka or whatever, there's nothing stopping you from picking up a case of Redbull or your energy drink of choice while you're at it and pouring them together into a glass, it's a fairly popular drink. It might not be super good for you, but neither is a lot of stuff, and I don't think I've heard of anyone dying from drinking one of those or even anything super serious happening unless maybe they had some preexisting condition. Alternatively, if it's to discourage young people from drinking, I'm pretty sure they were popular because it's a cheap tallboy at the convenience store, not because people can't figure out how to pour a high ball.

Didn't it cause a bunch of insane poo poo to go down at like every college simultaneously? Like a bunch of alcohol poisoning cases. I think combining caffeine with alcohol blunts the depressant effects of the alcohol so you don't think you're as drunk as you really are, so you drink more than you normally would. Also you can still act out all the insanely stupid poo poo you want to do (or at least that frat boys want to do) under the influence of alcohol without that pesky drowsiness getting in the way. I guess looking it up it also had "other stimulants" that were also removed from the product so who knows how those interacted with alcohol.

But yes you can still just make a mixed drink with it, you just have to be aware of the possible effects. If anything four loko didn't even have that much caffeine, just 156 mg. Nowadays there are drinks that have almost twice that amount in a can.

The problem with original recipe 4loko was that it didn't taste like alcohol, it tasted like candy, and you could put back two cans of it before you noticed the effects.Dixville posted:Didn't it cause a bunch of insane poo poo to go down at like every college simultaneously? Like a bunch of alcohol poisoning cases. It caused the destruction of a rental house at my school. Campus-wide invite because someone had acquired an entire shipping pallet, come morning there was nothing attached to any wall in the house, all the porch railings were gone, windows broken, holes everywhere, garage door in the street somehow with blood on it. I gave my girlfriend a piggyback ride and fell on my chin on the sidewalk in time to see people having a front flip competition off the second floor balcony. They should bring it back

OG 4loko was fuckin nuts. One can and you're having a blast. Two cans you're trying to break open parking meters but not for the money inside, just cuz.

it wasn't magic and it wasn't like meth or joose or whatever. it was just really cloyingly sweet so college kids would drink a ton of them quickly and get really hosed up. relive the magic in your own home by drinking too many vodka red bulls

Been trying them Ghosts lately since I just started a job where I have to get up at "gently caress You" in the morning. Every flavor I've tried so far has been close to the thing the can says which is unlike so many other energy drink flavors

The trick with Ghost is that it needs to be a sour flavor. Faze pop has that lemon element, sour patch kids and warheads are sour candy. When it doesn’t have that acidic element, like the Swedish Fish and orange cream flavors, it’s just weird.

OG 4Lokos were wild, I still remember the way the Gold can smelled after I threw up on myself. Sparks was another caffine/alcohol mix that got changed I'll have a silver RedBull maybe 3 times a year

I was going to get some Ghosts after reading this thread (your street teaming works) but despite there being a big "GHOSTS" sign at the door of the convenience store, there weren't any in the actual store. This was a small store in the middle of nowhere so maybe that's why.

Is Monster Hydro still a thing? I found one purely by accident at a gas station while pulling an all nighter a couple years ago and it was shockingly drinkable for an energy. I got a couple Watermelon flavored ones and slammed them back like they were nothing.

Thread delivered, I enjoyed a sour Ghost more than I liked the sweet ones. Also it's kind of wild that this is a sugar free energy drink because it somehow is really well balanced as if it had sugar with the sour version. Q_res posted:Is Monster Hydro still a thing?

Monster is even selling alcohol versions of their swill called Beast now. I don't think it has caffeine though.

I find Claussen pickle juice to be more effective though. I cant smell Red Bull without wanting to puke now. Plus a $4 can always goes to waste. I knocked one over in the fridge and was nauseous for a week. ----------------

It would help if I wasn't so dead-set against the energy drink taste they all seem to share. I don't feel like spending three buck on something I'm going to take a single sip of and pour out, so I don't experiment much. I've probably missed out on dozens of drinks that I'd like - but jesus loving christ, that energy drink taste is loving foul.

I can't tell if I've become acclimated to the taste or not but it was what originally kept me from them so I understand; there's definitely plenty of normal ones but you have to try to so many to find them. For what it's worth I think Mountain Dew Amp just tastes like Surge.

If you are someone who thinks Gatorade is too sweet stay away from the new energy Gatorade because drat it's like drinking homemade (by me) Koolaid. Now personally I am down with that but I thought I would put that out there.

rndmnmbr posted:Took me a while to track down a NOS sonic sour, wish I had known about these a decade ago. looking forward to trying one, NOS is the only energy drink that "works" for me. All other caffeine just makes me tired, so a single NOS has me grabbing a rake and fighting a brush fire in the park next door. One of the ingredients is a sugar with antidepressant effects called "inositol" which should actually be the punchline to a Simpsons joke about nerds. crimes

I'm trying ASHOC this morning, passionfruit flavor. It's supposed to be ~all natural~ which I don't really care about but it tastes pretty drat good. Zero sugar with 200mg caffeine too which is pretty good. Will probably try the other flavors at some point.
