You know, sometimes I wish they sold beer in a larger size than a 40oz.

Like a 64oz or maybe even an 80oz.

It would be hard to drink it all before it got warm but it would look cool as hell.

1. I like six packs better...
you can make six smaller molotov cocktails instead of one big one you'd probably blow yourself up in trying to throw!

3. Back in high school my friends and I would actually use our 40's for that.
We never threw them at anything but we would light them and then run off a little bit and shoot them with a shotgun. Those discarded couches and chairs would feel our teenage wrath. No doubt.

5. In high school we used to buy 64's of old e..
They had a little loop around at the top for a finger. The worst night of my life had one of those play a important role.

10. Stick around..
I'm making dinner and this might take a few minutes to type out. I would hate to burn my food talking about one of these damn things.

25. The fuck-up..
A few (8) of my friends and I moved into a house when I was nineteen. It was a total shit-hole and the landlord was a scumbag. We had a house warming party and a about 300 people showed up. My best friends brother got me a bottle of Goldschlager. We went into my room and shared the bottle. Most of it got finished.

By then a lot of people had shown up. Including my girlfriend who lived a few hours away. She brought a few 64's of the old e. So we shared one, she wouldn't drink the spit and beer mix at the bottom of the bottle. I did. After that we started drinking Mickeys 22's. My sister had bought me a case of them.

Enter the crusty...

I hate crusty punk rockers. I really hate crusty punk rockers that sneak into my room to smoke meth in my closet. I pushed him up against a wall and held him there. Yelling at him that he needs to get the fuck out. I had people behind me yelling for me to hit him. I let him go and he started to walk out. 30 minutes later I see him in the kitchen.. More fighting.. I think the guy has left.

So now all of us are really wound up and start wrestling. I wrestle a few kids and nobody got hurt. I wrestle one guy (who is a really good friend..he didn't mean to hurt me) Well, I get hurt really bad. The inside of my lip is on the outside and my ankle is fucked up really bad.

So I go to my room to lay down. My girlfriend comes in the room to cuddle. Another friend puts ice on my ankle.. I black-out.. And wake up alone and naked.

In the morning I go into the living (a little hungover) to find the same crusty collecting cans and bottles. I tell him to close the door when he leaves.

Well, the girlfriend is gone. My friend asks me in the morning why she was naked and in tears the night before.. He saw her getting dressed and crying from outside my window. I didn't know why (she was is tears and why he was looking). It actually took years to find out why my first love didn't communicate with me for a few years after that night.

And I don't want to say why.. And it wasn't rape. I had just said something very bad. And for that I am very sorry.

13. They do have 80 oz of OE....if you're going near DC, I can tell you where
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 01:06 AM by TroubleMan
to get them.

Well....the last time I bought them was '99, but it's worth a shot. In the base of Quantico, about 30 miles south of DC on I95, there's the Town of Quanitico. If you go in the main gate of Quanitco, then hook a left at the light (it used to be the first light, but there might be more now) to go into Q-Town. There's a convenience store on the right that sells (or used to) 80 oz of malt liquor.

We used to drink them all the time.

Like I said, I haven't been in that area in over 5 years, so I don't know if they still sell them or not.

......correction....foggy memory....it was 64 oz

14. Damn. That's 6.5 12 oz. beers in one bottle.
Not even I can drink fast enough to finish that before it gets warm.

15. LOL....and to think we used to drink two or three each sometimes

I was such a drunk.

Plus I like the taste of warm malt liquor....it's an acquired taste.

17. uh oh...bad news....I googled it, and it looks like they stopped selling

the 64oz in 2000.


I wish I could have saved the bottles now.....they'd be collector's items.

19. That's alright. I never was much of an OE fan.
I guess I'm just not gangsta enough for it.

21. It was all for show though....I admit....just to impress people
At that time we could buy a Mickey's 32oz on base for under a dollar, but to show off we'd go into Q-town to buy the 64oz for 5 bucks and change. Total waste of money.

We even took them on road trips out of state, and broke them out at parties just to see the looks on people's faces. It was all for show....just one of the many stupid things I did when I was young.

I can just see people's faces when you walk in with a big ass jug of OE.
