Four is an alcoholic energy drink produced by Phusion Projects LLC of Chicago, Illinois, USA. The Four brand includes two variations, Four MaXed and the newer Four Loko. The company, Phusion Projects, also does business under the name Drink Four Brewing Company.[1] Four debuted in the US market in 2005, first in Ohio, followed by Florida/California/Illinois by mid-year,[2] then spreading to other states. It was developed by three alumni of Ohio State University: Chris Hunter, Jeff Wright and Jaisen Freeman.[2]

[edit]Product line
The drink is available in nine flavors: Citrus, Grape (Uva Berry), Fruit Punch, Orange Blend, Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, Lemonade, Cranberry Lemonade, and Lemon Lime. [1] It is sold in the US as a 23.5 oz aluminium-canned, caffeinated, alcoholic, malt beverage. Its alcohol content varies from state to state, from 6% ABV in Indiana[2] up to 12% in California.[3] It also contains carbonation, sugar, and natural and artificial flavoring, similar to other alcopops. Its name is derived from its four other ingredients, caffeine, taurine, guarana, and alcohol.
In 2008, Phusion expanded the Four MaXed product line to the Netherlands and has sales distribution in other countries in the European Union. The EU version of Four MaXed, which is packaged in an 8.3 oz (250ml) glass bottle, contains Absinthe and is spirit-based instead of the US malt based version.
In its US market, Phusion Projects added a 23.5oz (695ml) beverage named Four Loko to its Four product line subsequent to the launch of Four Maxed. Four Loko contains 12.0%ABV. It is available in nine flavors: : the three original flavors (fruit punch, orange blend and grape), plus watermelon, blue raspberry, kiwi strawberry, lemonade, cranberry lemonade and lemon lime. Watermelon Four Loko also contains FD&C Red #40.[4] In 2009, Four Loko ranked fourth in sales growth among alcoholic beverages at 7-Eleven stores nationwide behind first ranked Joose.[5] A can of Four costs approximately $2.50.[4]
[edit]Controversy
Several years ago, several US state attorneys general began active investigations of companies who produced and sold caffeinated alcohol beverages on the grounds that they may be engaging in misleading marketing[1] and concerned that these drinks could pose health risks masking feelings of intoxication.[5] Consequently, in December 2008, Anheuser-Busch, manufacturer of Tilt and Bud Extra, plus MillerCoors, manufacturer of Sparks agreed to reformulate their drinks.[1]
In 2009, smaller companies, such as Phusion fell under investigation because of their rise in market share.[1] On November 13, 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration warned Phusion and over two dozen other brewers and distillers whose drinks contained the “intentional addition of caffeine” that it was looking into the safety and legality of their beverages.[6] These companies may be forced to discontinue products such as Four unless they can prove that the addition of caffeine to alcohol is “generally recognized as safe.””[4] Phusion submitted a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) report for combining caffeine and alcohol to the FDA for its review.

tbh the fourloko controversy is ing stupid. people talking about how it magically makes you black out....
"Yeah I drank a load of alcohol and then blacked out, it was crazy! That never happens!"
