I thought it was the coolest thing ever when I first discovered those pre-mixed Beam & Cokes in a can. Perfect for driving!

Hahaha, I have to say I was excited about those at first too, but they're too Coke-heavy for my tastes. I like a little more kick.

i honestly thought you were joking until i googled that crap. do young people really not know how to mix drinks anymore?

That's not too surprising IMO. We already have hot dogs that are sold already in the bun, which is just pathetic. I forgot the brand.. I think it may be Ball Park.

I dunno. I mix drinks fine on my own. I think the marketing value of the whole concept dwelt more in the convenience factor than anything, but that was just my perspective. I can't speak for today's youth.

Was reading Newsweek during a doctor trip, came across this...

Why Caffeinated Alcohol Drinks Are So Risky - Newsweek

Quote:

While there have always been drinks that mix caffeine and alcohol, health experts say these pre-mixed ****tails are much more dangerous than rum and Coke or even Red Bull and vodka. The cans may be the size of two 12-ounce beers, but they deliver a much stronger punch. “Some, like Four Loko, are 12 percent alcohol and have something in the range of 200mg of caffeine,” says Bruce Goldberger, a forensic toxicologist at the University of Florida. “That’s the equivalent of five to six beers and four to five colas in one can.” A 110-pound woman who downs a single can will have a blood-alcohol level twice the national intoxication standard, he says.
