Remember that recent story where a bunch of CWU students started piling and passing out at apart? There was a big suspicion that someone slipped roofies or date rape drugs into drinks. Nope. They were chugging this high caffeine and high alcohol drink Four Loko.

From KATU here:

ELLENSBURG, Wash. — Central Washington University officials say a potent alcoholic beverage, and not drugs, was responsible for sending nine students to the hospital after passing out during a party at a Roslyn home.

CWU president James Guardino said the investigation revealed the students drank “Four Loko” — an alcoholic energy drink where one can has an alcoholic equivalent to 4-6 beers, and is caffeinated. The drink has been nicknamed “blackout in a can.”

These drinks are more potent than wine. And if these young adults get into a drinking contest they could get alcohol poisoning without knowing it
