In Virginia, 71.1 percent of 197 students got it wrong by one or more drinks, and in Montana, 44.6 percent of 336 students were off-base. McGrath, Chris (November 10, 2010).

The company referred to the precedent set by the Panel in the Original Nuttah case, which considered the context of how the word was used. The company noted that the Panel stated that the word ‘nutter’ was a derogatory term to those who suffered from mental illness. The company explained that ‘nutter’ was generally only used to refer to an individual, rather than to describe an experience or inanimate object in the way that loco or crazy were used, such as ‘crazy golf’.In 2005, the entrepreneurial team designed a prototype "energy beer" now known as Four Loko. Marketed as a "premium malt beverage" in cherry and berry flavors, the drink contained taurine, guarana, caffeine and wormwood—the supposed psychoactive ingredient of absinthe. [6] After a year, the company was running low on investment and decided to drop the wormwood, focusing instead on improving the flavor and increasing the alcohol content. [6] The Four Loko is available in various flavors. Fruit punch, watermelon, grape, orange, peach, mango, and margarita. While this drink has high levels of caffeine and alcohol, it is not recommended for people with high blood pressure. Despite the warnings about this drink, the beverage is still available in some premium locations. The brand is famous in the United States, but it is popular worldwide. Why are you so Tipsy after Four Lokos? The company explained that the capacity for a word or phrase to cause serious or widespread offence would be dependent on the context in which it was used. While ‘crazy’ or ‘loco’ could be deemed offensive if directed at an individual or group, ‘crazy’ could also be used in common parlance to describe the ‘zaniness’ of an object or situation. The company cited the September 2016 study by Ofcom and Ipsos Mori into ‘Attitudes to potentially offensive language and gestures on TV and Radio’ [1], which listed 17 words considered to be potentially offensive or derogatory in the context of physical or mental health. The study was updated in September 2021 [2], to include 23 words, however ‘loco’ or ‘crazy’ did not appear in the 2016 or 2021 study respectively. The company noted that the report also highlighted the importance of context in which a word is used to determine whether it would cause offence.

In April 2017, Four Loko announced a line of hard liquor called Four Loko Shots that come in 750 ml bottles and are 70 proof (35% ABV). [11] Flavors include:
