Senior Logan Dobson, a Hatchet columnist, discusses how even though Four Loko may have its dangers, neither the government nor colleges should take away the right to drink it.

Four Loko is an exceptionally efficient beverage. It has as much alcohol in one brightly colored can as five light beers. It has as much caffeine as two cups of coffee. At a single party at Central Washington University, nine students were hospitalized after overconsuming the potent beverage.

Truly an awful beverage. Dangerous, ubiquitous and pretty bad-tasting to boot. Or so I’m told.
