Ummm, they're still legal. They just had to remove the caffeine. It still has the alcohol, so persons aged 21+ can still buy it. Now, if you put caffeine things in it after you buy it, you'll get the old Four Locos.
Actually no.. The 12% alcohol cans were banned in the US about a year ago. it sweeped across the states from one to the other in rapid succession.. the vendors were allowed to sell there stocks out but the manufacture was made to stop producing it because people were literally drinking themselves to death on it. the energy drink in it slowed the alcohols effect on the brain causing people to drink more and more of it unknowingly causing alcohol poisoning. and then death. It was too much energy, an WAY to much alcohol for stupid irresponsible people..
BUT the company DID remake it.. same energy, WAY less alcohol... its now 8% alcohol cans.. and they all still taste like crap.
Now before someone trys to argue with me about this, the fact is I worked at a dispenser when the 4loko scandal occurred so i was on the front lines when this happened.. i heard everything from the manufacture. Now upon hearing this my friends and I brought out the 4loko in every store withing 200 miles and were still drinking on it today... and regretting it in the morning.
Moral of the story is the new 8% 4loko will still get you drunk, but your better off just drinking sparks because they taste way betterr.. and blue raspberry tastes like Hitlers piss after eating skittles.
WRONG.
They are legal again, they had to remove the caffeine and they still come in 12%.
