Breast cancer and Alcohol

Alcohol is a risk factor for breast cancer in women.
A woman drinking an average of two units of alcohol per day has 8% higher of developing breast cancer than a woman who drinks an average of one unit of alcohol per day. A study of more than 1,280,000 middle-aged British women concluded that for every additional drink regularly consumed per day, the incidence of breast cancer increases by 11 per 1000. Approximately 6%

This is such crap! First off, why is this drink being called the “culprit” of these kids illnesses! THEY ARE ALL UNDER 21!!! They should be charged with Minor in Consumption of a alcoholic beverage! I am a 32 yo woman and I have had a Four Loko once or twice and if you were smart enough to read the side of the label there is the alcohol content posted right on the side. And saying that it is flavored to “appeal to kids”… well what about all these “cool” skull shaped vodka bottles and colorful jello shots and tooters in test tubes? I agree with edjunkie – no matter what kids are gonna find a way to get drunk. Don’t blame the alcohol, the can or the flavor….. blame them for being STUPID 18-19 year olds that should know better than to drink 3-4 HUGE cans of ANY alcohol. I happen to like Four Loko – People should just leave them alone and prosecute these dumb kids!!!

Ok so I am an expert on energy drinks. Let me tell you my experience. Half way through a can I knew I was drunk. It did not sneak up on me at all. This stuff is strong as heck alcohol wise. As for caffeine content the level is unknown since there is no nutrition label. Might be a little might be a lot but they won’t say. Sure I might have been less sleepy than a normal drunk but it is not like I was jacked up or anything. The problem is that kids are drinking several of these because it is a cheap drunk. Remove the caffeine(Like Sparks did) and it will still be a problem. Kids are going to find a way to get drunk. Does not matter if it is cheap liquor mixed in punch or this stuff. Four Loco is just the latest trend. No reason to remove it from the market because kids are stupid and drink too much.

me and a friend purchased 2 each and we r both female and wanted to just try them out…..well i know i could not even finish the second one. your description fits it to a t. we felt energized and buzzed but once the energy drink wore off, i was so out of it i felt really odd and still drunk the next morning when i got up.it is definately a dangerous drink..but us younger people think its great because of the price and stuff..not worth it!!!! does not even taste good..i think it should be pulled off the market
