you know, like exactly how people used to do it before the companies figured out how to cash in by pre-mixing things for us. then again i'm in Canada and you can't legally buy booze outside of controlled licensed establishments. i'm boggled by the duality / hypocrisy of the American stance on alcohol.
if you don't want it in the hands of children don't sell it in the grocery store and don't make it bright and colourful and fun.
it's like when we ran into a group of youths drinking on the west coast years ago showing off this new beer they got in plastic bottles... 'It's so great, it doesn't even matter if i drop it!'. no adult with half a clue in their head would buy beer in a plastic bottle (GROSS!), it's obviously marketed to kids who don't know much of anything and who obviously haven't learned their limits.
yet... there it is, right next to the milk  |
In my state they don't sell it in grocery stores
Lol, I wish i could buy it next to the milk! Save me an extra trip down the street. People are making too much of Four Lokos. I can go to the bar and drink a ton of Jagerbombs and nobody cares. People like to drink, people like to get drunk. College kids are still going to be hospitalized every year from drinking too much, it has nothing to do with Lokos.
