Because there's practically no caffeine in a rum and coke.
Very fuzzy napkin-math incoming: if you were to consume an equivalent amount of caffeine as a Four Loko via rum-and-cokes, you've now had about 50oz of rum. The caffeine would, uh, not be the problem.
Edit: Hm, though maybe this says more about my "rum, wave a Coke over it" preferences.
- bee_rider 4y agoHaha, that could be it. I guess it is a mixed drink anyway so you could do whatever, but coke has a pretty overpowering taste, so if you want to taste the rum, you’d have to go pretty strong I guess.
- fknorangesite 4y agoYeah. I guess the point is Four Loko has (had, I guess?) ~2.5x the caffeine by volume as Coke does - before adding any liquor to dilute the Coke.
- bee_rider 4y agoFair, another comment mentioned Red Bull and Vodka which would probably have been a better example, but I suspect that’s more a case of “we’d ban it if we could.”
