In Wednesday's paper, a great deal of the focus was on the new controversial drink, Four Loko. Across the country, especially on college campuses, the drink is quickly becoming a party favorite among the younger crowd. The problem with the drink is that it is an energy drink worth a pot of coffee and the alcohol of about 6-8 beers all in one can. With this combination, it is more difficult for people to feel the tiring effects of the drink which makes them drink more of it. Before long, a great deal of people develop alcohol poisoning. The problem with making this drink such a big deal is that more people want to try this drink now. Before this drink being all over the news, not many people had heard of it. Now with all of the press, more people are curious about it. I also heard that the drink is banned in New Hampshire but that doesn't stop people from drinking it.
In the sports section, I greatly enjoyed the article about the Celtics beating the Miami Heat. People were making such a big deal out of the "big three". That doesn't matter when they're playing the Celtics though. I really enjoyed the quotes from Heat players who are trying to make every excuse in the book.“When you have so many options, it’s something I’m not accustomed to, having that many threats on the court at the same time,” Lebron James said.
