I remember reading somewhere that Russian torpedo fuel makes good hooch, so this sorta makes sense.

Remember those alcoholic energy drinks that are supposedly too dangerous for human consumption? Well apparently some enterprising people have decided that "blackout in a can" need only apply to the nervous system of the average college student, not the power grid. Apparently there are plans afoot to convert them into ethanol to run bio-fuel based cars.

Isn't science wonderful? Here's the text of the article:

Outlawed Four Loko drink could be turned into ethanol fuel

The famously outlawed Four Loko alcoholic energy drink could be turned into ethanol fuel according to a report by the Associated Press.

 

The drink was deemed too dangerous for public consumption by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As a result, thousands upon thousands of cans of the stuff are going to waste.

 

The good news though is that they can be recycled into ethanol which could be used to power cars. A spokesman for one of the ethanol recycling facilities said they could process up to four trucks, or 8,000 cases per day. Four Loko isn't the only drink of its kind that has been outlawed, so we could see this program go on for several months.
