Exactly. Anyhoo... I'd like to know how big an issue this really is? Didn't this shit like, just come on the market?
Came on the market about a year ago.
One can of Four Loko has as much alcohol as nearly 5 12 oz cans of regular beer, and as much caffeine as 5 cups of coffee. It's already been blamed for a number of heart failures in otherwise perfectly healthy teenagers.
I'd like to see some backup for that claim because my research shows that it has either 6 or 12% alcohol by volume and as much caffeine as one cup of coffee (a varying standard anyway). Michelob Ultra has 4.2% ABV. So at best this is misleading because "one can" of Four Loko is 23.5 fl. oz. which is over twice the size of a conventional can of beer. So while that might be a lot of alcohol in one can, it's nothing compared to a bottle of wine. It's far less potent than a bottle of MD 20/20 which comes in a 750ml bottle (25.36 fl. oz.) which has 18% alcohol.
So:
1 12 oz. can of Budweiser has 4.2% alcohol.
1 23.5 oz. can of Four Loko is equivalent to 5 cans of Bud.
1 40 oz. bottle of Olde English 800 (7.7% ABV) is equivalent to 6 cans of Bud.
1 750ml bottle of MD 20/20 is equivalent to 9 cans of Bud.
1 375ml bottle (12.68 fl. oz.) at 75.5% ABV is equivalent to 19 cans of Bud
What again is the problem here? That kids drink it? We already have strict laws regulating that. Why ban a whole class of product based on the inability of current enforcement methods? Kids drink all the above references.
Sure can!.......AMEN!Socialists/Progressives suck! Can i get an Amen?
That's the thing.
We want the Food & Drug Administration to identify food that is not fit for human consumption because it is poisonous or contains natural contamnants that are dangerous for humans. Such products should be banned for human consumption.
But if it is a legal product, then require informative labeling as to what is in it, and otherwise the government should stay out of it. We either have civil liberties or we do not.
