National 40-oz. Day

June 29, 2009

Some may think they are “trashy,” others may think they are “excessive,” but we just think they are hilarious. They’re a 40-oz. bottle of beer – mainly containing beer that you would never normally drink for fear you may lose your sense of taste or smell or both! The upsides: 40-oz. of beer, buying bulk saves the planet, cheap and leaves you with a little extra to memorialize your homies with.

We’re not the only ones out there that think this giant bottle of beer is something worth giving thanks to. A brilliant group of folks in the Chicago area are having a week of celebratory events all surrounding this bottom-shelf treat. So, if you happen to be in the old town of the Toads – join in the fun and pour a sip on the old Toad concrete for us. Heck, even if you aren’t in Chicago, enjoy a big tall frosty one anyway – ‘cuz why not?

Thinking of the end of this article, "Why not". My (extensive) experience with 40s has led to one conclusion: one 40 with your homies is always a good idea. Two is a very questionable idea, and 3 is a down-right bad idea. I have so many ridiculous beer night stories that start with 'We all drank a couple of 40s of St. Ides or Old English'.. and none of these stories end without someone making a egregious error in judgment shortly thereafter. And when I tell these stories, usually someone follows them up with one of their own that are exactly the same idea. Someone should start a web site for forty stories, its really a phenomenon. Does this mean we get to play Edward 40-Hands at work today?
