[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 637882, member: 1963"] This is a big deal in the US, and up here parent's groups and healthcare professionals are trying to get these drinks pulled off the market. A 24oz can of "4 Loko" at 8% alcohol will get you good and drunk for under two dollars. There are "cocktails" I like that don't have alcohol in them. I always have a bottle of Bloody Mary Mix in my fridge. I love the stuff. I hate real Bloody Mary's as the alcohol tastes bad with the tomato juice and spices. I'm a bit more familiar than I'd like due to both working in the liquor industry and being friends with a liquor store owner up here who went out of business due to not being able to stay on top of under-aged or "over-served" drinkers. There aren't a lot of good paying jobs up here. We are within spitting distance of two Indian reservations. There are a LOT of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) children up here and it's very sad. Earlier today I got hit in the Walmart parking lot. A woman backed into the front bumper of my car. Scraped it all to hell, The good news is that she's insured by the same ins company I am, so I don't have to pay the deductible for the repairs. The bad news was that she was drunk at 9:30AM. That means the insurance won't pay for the accident. They'll pay to fix my car and then go after her for the $$$. At least the repair work isn't a big deal. They just have to order a new "skin" for the bumper, put it on, and match the paint. I am taking the car in Monday and should have it back by Thursday. The shop is giving me a loaner to drive, hopefully NOT a huge pickup or something similar [/QUOTE]
