The first New Jersey lawsuit has been filed against the maker of Four Loko, the spiked energy drink that was dubbed a "blackout in a can" after intoxicated college students began showing up in emergency rooms last year.

A complaint filed last week against Phusion Projects, the manufacturer, claims the fruity beverage caused permanent heart damage in Michael Mustica, 22, a tire salesman from Knowlton Township in Warren County.

We're talking about the equivalent of chugging something with the alcoholic content of a Mike's Harder Lemonade with the chemical stimulant of a Red Bull or Amp - all mixed together. Despite all the press about Four Loko and it's effects on the body... he decided to drink two of them? In a row?

Looks like his permanent lack of brain function has resulted in permanent heart damage.

Newsflash

Aspartame isn't good for you
Red Bull and the other energy drinks are not good for you
Saccarin is not good for you
Soda is not good for you
processed food is not good for you
McDonalds will make you FAT
The intake of anything in extremes will not be good for you.
Cigarettes and other things you smoke are not good for you
drugs are not good for you
hospitals are not good for you
driving without a seatbelt or riding without a helmet can be deadly
diving in shallow water
hot coffee means it is served hot. don't pour it on your couchie... or place it between your legs
doing anything while driving will distract you and you may die
sitting in front of the tv for hours and days will not be healthy
if you are allergic to peanuts, don't eat them
alcohol is bad for your liver


Now there should be no surprise to anyone when you consume and have issues. You were warned, if you still do it you are just stupid.
