Four Loko 4-Eva… er, till Nov. 19th!

Gov. David Paterson and the State Liquor Authority announced the agreement Sunday with Chicago-based Phusion Projects, which makes the drink Four Loko, and with the state’s largest beer distributors to stop selling caffeinated alcoholic beverages. “New Yorkers deserve to know that the beverages they buy are safe for consumption,” Paterson said.

The company agreed to stop shipping the Four Loko by Nov. 19. Distributors have until Dec. 10 to finish out their inventory.

The popular drinks have been banned in Washington, Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma… and now New York.

Listen, underage kids have been drinking and hurting themselves since forever. And like the co-owner of Phusion Projects said, “We still believe that combining caffeine and alcohol is safe – if that weren’t the case, Irish coffees and rum and colas would be under scrutiny as well…”

If I owned a bodega, I’d start selling espresso! Two bottles of malt liquor and a shot of espresso for $4. I’d call it, “The Paterson.” Kids would be like, “Let me get a Blind Man!” And I’d say, “Oh, you mean a Paterson?” And the kids would say, “I’m hallucinating from the mix of caffeine and alcohol!”
