I still think it was incredibly hypocritical that Four Loko was basically forced to remove caffeine from their drinks, but anyone with enough money can still go into a bar and order as many Jagerbombs as they want... I'm fully aware that neither of them are good for you, but it seemed like someone decided that poor people shouldn't have access to this. They're essentially both the exact same thing lol
Isn't the difference that a jaegerbomb is something that's made yourself (or by the bartender) while four loko was a prepackaged product? I can make an explosive from stuff I buy from the hardware store, doesn't mean theyre going to ban stump remover any time soon.
Possibly? In my experience I've never seen anyone make Jagerbombs at home though. It's almost always made by the bartender. It could be argued that a bartender could make the drinks with less alcohol in them but how often does that actually happen?
I've made them at home. And at bars in my area, you could order a jaggermeister and a red bull, but the bar tender would serve them separately and you'd have to combine them yourself.
Where I live they are happy to mix them for you right there at the bar and they will keep serving them until you either run out of money or become unruly enough to throw out. It usually resulted in a number of people running around like the Tasmanian Devil by the end of the night
Yeah I meant more that they're made on the spot rather than being sold that way off the shelf.
They're still legal. Making explosives yourself is illegal, not just buying them premade is.
Eh, it was a pretty crazy drink that was apparently deceptively strong and definitely led to deaths and various blackout-induced crimes and issues.
A can had the same amount of alcohol as 4-5 beers and the same amount of caffeine as 2 red bulls. And that was a "single serving" amount.
