I like beer, and I like Caffeine. Logically then, Four Maxed, an energy drink with a 10% alcohol content, should be like sweet nectar from the gods for me, right?

 Four Maxed
 

Not quite. The taste mostly just reminded me of children’s chewable Tylenol, right down to the gritty medicinal aftertaste of fake grape flavor. Some people might not care, because energy drinks are pretty much an acquired taste anyway, but after a couple of sips I was still fighting back my gag reflex. My roommate pretty much concurred, though he compared it to cough syrup.

 

I couldn’t handle the entire can, so I can’t really say much about its ability to energize or intoxicate, but I can complement it on being cheap enough for an experiment. At $1.69 it was cheaper than a forty or a standard energy drink, but it’s not going to beat either at their respective strengths.

 

From now on I’ll just stick with Red Bull and Vodka when I feel like making dangerous drink combinations.
