My dream of playing an impromptu game of Four Loko dizzybat in the middle of Central Park will probably not come to fruition next summer, unless the caffeinated alcoholic beverage is smuggled across state lines (if there isn't a nation-wide ban by then). According to the Associated Press, Four Loko will stop shipments to New York State on November 19. Distributors in the Empire State have until December 10 to sell their inventory, so it will still be on shelves for the next couple weeks before supplies run out. New York State joins Washington, Michigan, Utah, and Oklahoma in banning Four Loko. Kind of a bummer, considering we had all these plans to brown bag that shit on the 7 train with the bums to make Mets games a little more enjoyable next year. We're not really surprised; New York's Senator Chuck Schumer has been leading a witchhunt against the drink since early October, urging the FDA to open up an investigation. New Yorkers, we know there's a lot of you out there, so sing your Loko-fied swan songs in the comments. Also, while we're on the subject, check out College Humor's mildly amusing "Honest Four Loko Commercial" after the jump.
