Hello from the US! I'd read about this stuff, unfortunately it's illegal in the United States because alcoholic beverages containing caffeine are banned. We have a fruity malt liquor drink called "FOUR LOKO" with a similar reputation. It came in 500 ml cans and had the same amount of alcohol as 4 shots of vodka, and the same amount of caffeine as 4 cups of coffee (hence the name Four Loko). It got banned because people got heart attacks from drinking the whole can, but like you said people drank it on street corners and in college dorm rooms.
