You'd have to ask for more than three and a half shots of vodka to match the alcohol in a 22oz Four Loko can.

Heck, just sell the energy drink by itself and subtly market it as a mixer - probably cheaper to make with higher profit margins. There is a reason "Red Bull and vodka" is popular, and that the founders of Red Bull were mega billionaires.
