5 HOUR 4 LOKOS…{HuH WHAT ?}
CAN 5 HOUR ENERGY HARM YOU..?
Seems like a reasonable question to me my friends,
after all I kinda thought that it would be asked eventually once I saw this product,
or should I say these kinds of products start to show up on convenience store shelves.
Might I mention that DL has never used such product’s ,choosing to settle on well established forms
of caffeine ingestion such as coffee,and the occasional soft drinks.
This blog is not to say that such products do not work for some people…it is more informational for those people
,who like DL, have wondered about such products…..:)
Hmmmmm unregulated by the FDA …yet having as much as 5 times the amount of caffeine as a can of Coke…..hmmmmmm doesn’t sound
too healthy to me my friends……
4 WHaT…?
hmmmm FOUR LOKO you say well lets examine that one shall we…..
Ummmmmm alcohol mixed with caffeine ummmmm ahhhh…..gez
Apparently the FDA wanting to ban this drink does not make all people happy my friends…..
Seems like a reasonable ban to me my friends….but ?
Perhaps we should check this out a little more….aye…?
A Four Loko Ban…..?
Hmmm each can equals 6 beers and 2 coffee’s….
Hmmm makes a great case for investing in pay to use portable latrines doesn’t my friends….lololol..:)
Blackout in a can you say….ummmm that doesn’t sound very attractive to me my friends………
Well that’s about it my friends,and I do not know what to say really,but it makes you wonder does it not ?
Now I am wondering …”What say you” ?
Do you think these kinds of drinks weather marketed as energy drinks,or alcohol drinks that keep you drunk as a skunk but wide awake….have a place in our lives…..your lives…..us lives….ahhhh you know what DL means….lolol 🙂
Well in closing I guess it all up to what you want out of your life huh…because what you put into yourself is very apt to be what you get out of yourself…..
GUESS YOU’D HAVE TO BE A LITTLE LOCO TO USE THIS STUFF HUH ?
Thank You
DL

It’s been called “that 2:30 feeling”: as the workday drags on, with droopy eyelids and audible yawns,
many reach for a little red bottle of 5-Hour Energy,
familiar from the front counters of convenience stores and ubiquitous late-night TV ads.
But beware: the energy drink, and others like it,
may result in death, heart attacks or “spontaneous abortions,”
according to according to filings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Federal officials have received reports that detail 13 deaths allegedly linked to 5-Hour Energy within the past four years,
the New York Times reports. Monster Energy has been flagged for possibly causing five fatalities in other FDA filings.

Since 2009, the energy shot that claims to reduce fatigue has been mentioned in over 90 claims with the FDA,
including 30 that involved serious or life-threatening injuries.
The New York Times cautions that incident reports filed with the F.D.A do not necessarily mean that a produce
“was responsible for a death or an injury or contributed to it in any way;
” such reports, the paper states, are often “fragmentary in nature and difficult to investigate.”
Still, top executives at Living Essentials, the Michigan-based distributor of 5-Hour energy,
declined to speak to the Times and instead issued a statement that said the product was safe for consumption
if it was used as directed.
Additionally, the company said they were “unaware of any deaths proven to be caused by the consumption of 5-Hour energy.
”

5-Hour energy is sold in a two-ounce bottle and does not disclose the amount of caffeine per serving;
however, Consumer Reports placed the level at around 215 milligrams.
An eight-ounce cup of coffee generally contains between 100 to 150 milligrams,
according to the Times.
Additionally, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration within the federal government
reported that more than 13,000 emergency room visits were related to energy drinks in 2009.

Dying from something that is supposed to be good for you is never a good thing lemur.
Thanks D, I have just become aware of the dangers of the Energy Drinks.
Well presented. Great information here.
I am afraid that even though I do not use Energy Drinks, Caffeine is my last great addiction. I just don’t have the strength to beat this one.
