Where in north Raleigh can I still buy Four Loko? (Wake Forest: legally, single) - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary - North Carolina (NC) -The Triangle Area - City-Data Forum

Looking for some Four Loko to try before it's no longer available to us responsible adults. If anyone has seen it still on the shelves let me know where. Thanks

Ugh, it's not worth it. Dump a few packs of skittles into a bottle of St. Ides, drink that real fast then down a couple cups of coffee and you'll get the idea. The hangover from that stuff violates the Geneva Conventions.

Well the media has hyped it up so much that now I have to try it. I'll risk the taste and after affects

I recommend staying in the night of your Four Loko experience. And disconnect your phones.

Otherwise you're going to do something you regret.

Also, limit yourself to just five or six. Otherwise things could get ugly.

Why, in my day, we got our alcohol and caffeine the old fashioned way: Rum and cokes! And we liked it!

The Kangaroo on Wake Forest rd @ Ronald dr. had several varieties of it when I was there this afternoon ~5pm.

drea416....I've been wanting to try it myself, just because of the media hype, and I rarely drink. I figure one is enough for me!

I thought the media said one is equal to 3 beers...??
Would you drink 18 beers??

I'm also looking to take the Pepsi Challenge with this stuff before it becomes extinct.

These things are 22 ounces, 12% alcohol.

For comparison, a bud light is 4% alcohol. So one 4 loco is the same as around 5 and a half bud lights.

For those who drink real beer, a Sierra Nevada has 5.7% alcohol, which means one can equals 4 Sierra Nevadas.

So, pretty much any adult will be legally drunk after drinking a single can in an hour, and kids are slamming these things down in 15 min.
