Don't beaches sometimes have weird laws with alchohol? Could be that too

Perhaps but I think the no 40's in flordia thing sounds true, I believe that was a 32 ozr state because clearly that would solve the problem of people drinking too much from a 40 oz



edit: yeah there is a specific florida law about malt liquor being served in containers larger than 32 oz

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

the real tip is to drink full-carb beer instead of lite, that way you can skip a meal and get drunker

Even three whole 40's of standard malt liquor is only between 10 and 11 alcoholic drinks. It's when you get into the higher gravity versions that you're buying a greasy, cheap oblivion.

they sell 24oz cans of craft beers that are like 10% at gas stations now for $4 which means you can get wasted on decent beer for cheap. unfortunately trying to drink 48oz of triple imperial ipa or whatever sucks rear end too unless you space it out a lot so meh.

I got "pranked" once when I left a half-full bloody mary behind when I went to take a leak. When I got back, it was full again, which I questioned, then said "oh well" and drank it anyway. My friends had refilled it with Newcastle and Tabasco sauce.

It was delicious.

Getting blackout drunk isn't the point. Finishing 2.4 liters before you're able to take a piss without assistance is the point.

Worth noting: I've never seen a night start with Edward 40hands.

Fair enough. I reckon I could finish one and then shove it down my pants to piss into tho. No guarantees I wouldn't absolutely piss my pants but I guess that's all in the game

Incredibly unhealthy.

The REAL way to save money on alcohol is to donate blood first, then go get absolutely slaughtered on a 6 pack of the cheapest abv swill you can find.

i have a feeling that answering will only raise more questions but:

as others stated, olde english, so a malt liquor that's stronger than normal beer, and 40 ounce bottles so each bottle is about 5 standard drinks, and they are incredibly cheap. and the rice was instant rice, so freeze-dried cooked rice, it just rehydrates immediately, then i could just drink it down and not have to worry about cooking dinner that night. the rice also has a bunch of nucleation points so the co2 would come out of solution faster and that also made it easier to drink the two 40s quickly.

the convenience store near my college apartment had both 40s and small boxes of Minute Rice instant rice, and i could get 2 40s and a box of minute rice for like 8 bucks and be drunk all night and have food in my belly. it was like one of those meal replacement shakes except incredibly boozy and not at all nutritionally balanced.

it started because a friend messed with my 40 when i went to the bathroom by pouring instant rice in it and i didn't have the cash to get another so i just drank it and then i did it intentionally sometimes after that as it was food, got me drunk, and was really cheap.

I think I will remember this post for the rest of my life.

Ah, you misunderstand. It's called Edward 40hands because the 40s are taped to your hands until you've finished both bottles.

Drinking is part addiction, part enjoyment, part escapism and part social bonding parsed through class barriers. Going for the best strength:cost ratio by buying bottom shelf whatever is a sign of alcoholism, getting dressed up and going for cocktails or drinking huge quantities of booze because it is strapped to your hands at a party is a social occasion. The aim isn't inherently focused on units of alcohol consumed, it's everything else around it.
