    If it wouldn't have been that drink it would have been another. Do you blame a shooting on the brand that makes the ammo?

    Why are you blaming the drink and not the rapist?

    focus on the Four Loko, rather than where the real blame lies....THE RAPIST(or presumed rapist)...

    "Four Loco may have been used in rape"....I thought someone used a Four Loco to rape someone. That would surely hurt.

    was the guy driving a white van?

    Because they seriously need to ban white vans. They apparently get used in rapes and robberies all the time.

    Not defending rapist..

    ..but the beverage consumed is irrelevant. Beyond the intentions of the alleged rapist, these girls being 15 years old knew better than to get in a car with a stranger. They knew better than to drink anything. Didn’t they?

    Vodka??

    The article also mentions vodka, are "they" going to now question who sold the vodka and why isn't it being looked at as being dangerous???? I agree with Loud Larry, what were these girls thinking? Is this going to be the new standard, blame the drink not the drinker? We already blame the video games, and guns. Not the people who are misusing them.

    Seriously, what the heck is it with these stories insisting on "blaming Four Loko?!?!?!" Where in the world is personal responsibility?
