Yeah us wussy Americans limit our products to a maximum of 100% total ingredients


Think about it....

good vodka = 35% alcohol
redbull = 100% sugar and caffine (minus a bit of water and flavouring)

haha so when you mix 50% vodka and 50% red bull you still get a 35% drink? wow....
Really, play for fun!

I drank 1.5 four loko's last weekend (GSL finals!) and got more drunk than I've been all year. I can't believe you didn't die drinking that many. You fucked up yourself, and if you aid in getting that beverage banned by the FDA you'll ruin it for all the competent drinkers out there.

Just goes to show how ridiculous alcohol can fuck you up if you have no idea what you're doing. Stick with weed instead.

so a little over a year ago, last halloween I had a run in with four lokos, and the thread I saw today in the general forum prompted me to start a blog on my situation.


That halloween I ended up drinking 3 of the drinks in about 2 hours. I ended up blacking out and knocking out my two front teeth. I was sent to the hospitol where I started making a scene and was promptly sent to the drunk tank for the night.

I had to have two root canals performed.

Since the incident I have been in and out of mental institutions for what was originally believed to be schizophrenia, although all of my psychiatrists have agree that I do not exhibit any of the symptoms of such.

I was also on anti-psychotics for 8 months this past year.

I was wondering what TL, especially anyone with any sort of legal background, has to say about my situation. Do you think I have a chance at a settlement? and more importantly, how do I go about starting case for something like this.


P.S.

A friend of mine bought me the four lokos, and I was underage at the time that I drank them, so factor that into any legal calculations you make.

p.p.s

i was a cop that halloween when i ended up in the prison.
TT

edit:it was a blog I saw the article in, here it is
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=171312
props to lokiM for posting that here.


Don't have my law degree yet, and won't for a while. Take this as coming from someone who has worked for lawyers, and is studying to be one. You have no chance in hell. Why? Because you were doing something illegal (underage drinking) and labeled on all 4 locos cans is a statement saying that you must be 21 or older to drink the beverage. The judge will throw the case out of court and you may be liable for any legal charges incurred during the process by the controller of 4 locos.

Edit: I'd also like to add that people like you who do dumb shit and then sue are the reason the justice system is bogged down with trivial trash, and also the reason the law profession has been dragged through the mud. I don't even really know you all that well and I dislike you. Go look for a handout elsewhere, don't try to take someone else's hard earned money.

Edit 2:

Continuation on the subject. How is anyone so morally fucked up to think this is acceptable?

Also, if you have a chance at ANYTHING it is suing the person who gave you the alcohol, claiming they pressured a minor into it, AND praying you can PROVE they gave it to you. On top of this civil action will take a LONG time and you will likely have to pay your lawyer up front, as no lawyer is going to take this case on the law equivalent of commission (they take a % of the settlement). You're much more likely to be able to pursue a criminal case against the owner of said house for allowing minors a place to drink (whether they were there or not, it is still their responsibility. It's fucked up, I know)

Underage binge drinking and you want to blame them?

You have to drink responsibly. I don't think you'll get anywhere with this.
I underestimated that boy. No... it was not the boy I underestimated, it was the Triforce of Courage.

i thought one of the basic foundations of law was that you can't be breaking the law yourself? ie if you make a contract with your buddy to rob a bank and split 50-50 and he backstabs you, you can't sue him for breach of contract +_+

oh well

you drank 3 4lokos in an hour and knocked your two front teeth out... and you blame the 4loko company? That shit is entirely your fault why would you be an asshole and try to sue them when it was just you being an idiot and wasn't their fault at all? The fact that you could even think about suing a company for something like that embodies everything thats wrong with the legal system in america. Have some personal accountability.

And how does you being in an out of mental hospitals for 8 months connect to this, 4lokos would not do that to you and they definitely don't give you schizophrenia :/

You're better off sueing the people who wrongfully accused you of being schizophrenic but that was probably your parents so i wouldn't recommend it. Everyone has drunk mistakes, live with them.

Yeah you can't sue 4 Loco. You were illegally drinking so there's no chance in hell that you would win any kind of settlement. It's kind of morally fucked up but you could try suing the doctor diagnosed you as schizophrenic but I'm guessing they are covered by some kind of terms and conditions you agreed to. Stop trying to blame somebody else because you fucked up...

You might have a slim chance of getting some basic legal advice on TL if you have a simple problem and provide enough details. Unfortunately, your situation seems rather convoluted and you didn't even tell us what state you live in.

Second, why do people on the Internet feel the need to give out pretend legal opinions when they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about?
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

^^Because when you post on a starcraft forum to get legal advice you probably shouldn't expect all ivy league grads to respond, especially when your suggested lawsuit is so obviously flawed.

doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out you can not use the legal system to get you money when you are not abiding by the legal system in the first place

but im just a person on the internet that feels the need to give out pretend opinions on legal actions and such when i have no idea what im talking about

but i can relate to "common sense" and i think this might fall under the category of "common sense"

sorry for all my grammatical errors as i dont feel the need to use commas/periods/capitolization etc etc i do like quotations tho as you can see

edit: i dont drink any alcohol including 4 locos but i do smoke weed which completely fucks you up just like these 4 locos do but for some reason ive never knocked my teeth out/had my drug dealer get banned from selling products etc etc

Reminds me of the lady who sued MacDonalds because she burned herself with their coffee.
