Stephen Colbert Tries Four Loko, Creates Own Alcoholic Energy Drink

Four Loko's days may be numbered, but Stephen Colbert isn't having it. "True partiers know that the good times don't have to end just because everybody else is unconscious," he said on last night's episode of the Colbert Report.

Colbert triumphantly sipped a Four Loko onstage, comparing its taste to that of a Duracell battery. He also announced that he would be creating his own alcoholic energy drink: C-Zurrrre, "an extreme energy booze quencher that's like a strobe light attached to the inside of your skull." Watch below.

Colbert should have had Dom Mazzetti on his show. This is the man responsible for NYC's ban on Four Loko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWxF6R4FXTI

Bartender, I'll have an O'Doulls with a shot of vodka on the side.
And a vinegar and water for my liberal friend.

California voted No on the legalization of marijuana - yet these toxic chemical based speed fueled energy drinks are legal. WTF?

"An extreme energy booze quencher that's like a strobe light attached to the inside of your skull"?

"Don't worry, you'll never wake up in bed with a stranger, because you'll never fall asleep"?

And he's calling it "C-Zurrrre"?

Are you sure that's COFFEE in your drink, Mr. Colbert? Sounds more like LSD. :^)

Or, maybe he's drawing inspiration from the legendary Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. "The effect of drinking one of these is rather like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick."

The old Star Trek Experience had this drink called the Warp Core Breach which consisted of five different kinds of rum, raspberry liqueur, and 30 fluid ounces of SoBe Power energy drink.

JUST STICK A WARNING LABEL ON IT. people need to be responsible for their behaviors. We don't need to the goverment to babysit us or protect us from ourselves. As with most things, it's fine in moderation.

Progressives don't want that. They want the government to control every aspect of our lives. We can't even raise our own kids anymore. The government wants to tell us what we can and can not teach or give our kids. No need for personal responsibility!

Get real. Progressives are mostly in favor of relaxing drug policies.

Speaking personally, I think that the penalties for reckless conduct (e.g. driving) while under the influence of mind-altering substances should be very high. But I'm tired of the drug wars. Legalize and tax, starting with marijuana and proceeding from there.

What a joke, if they make this illegal all people will do is make their own caffeine infused mixed drinks.

[BrianJackson]

Agreed. Which will be far dangerous. A person died a few days or so ago from taking the equivalent of 70 something energy drinks in a hour, using caffeine powder.

That is how the whole thing got started. Kids were mixing their own and someone saw a business opportunity. Capitalism at its best.

It's older than "kids." Mexican coffee, anyone? A coffee with Kahlua. Bailey's coffee, same idea. Served at bars and restaurants for decades.

Admittedly, they didn't come in 24-ounce servings. That probably WAS the kids' idea.
