I'm a friggin moron - my intro to Four Loko

[ChadFL]

Ok, so it's Friday and I finally get off work. I have a 42 mile interstate drive back home after a long day, so I stopped to get gas and something to drink. Figure I need myself a "pick me up" so I check out the energy drink section and notice a large, cool looking fruit punch flavored can. Grabbed one and a quick snack and hit the road. A little while later I pop open the can and take a swig, only to realize it tastes kinda funny. I was still thirsty so I drink quite a bit. Well by the time I get home I oddly feel "buzzed." Once in the house I take another look at the can and realize it's called Four Loko and contains 12% alcohol. So I had been unwittingly drinking and driving for the past 40 min. I'm sure as hell glad the highway patrol didn't pull me over. I somehow doubt they'd even believe my story.

I thought they pulled Four Loko off the market?

They did, but put it back out since they took the caffeine and other "stimulants" out apparently

Meh that's not as funny as a diabetic drinking an energy drink at work and almost crashing his system because of it. Granted I didn't know I was diabetic at that time but still...
