A little game I'd like to play

I admit it, I am lame. I went to NYU. I didn't play drinking games such as beer pong, quarters or Beiruit. I am a novice. Not a novice drinker by any means, but a novice drinking game player. I heard about this one last night which I must say greatly intrigues me....


Edward Forty-Hands is a binge drinking game in which a player duct tapes a 40 oz. bottle of alcohol (usually malt liquor, e.g., Colt 45) to each of his or her hands and is not allowed to take them off until he drinks them. Other names for this game include "Edward Fo'ty Hands" and "80 Ounces to Freedom".

Huge Forty Hands Competition.
At the beginning of the game where both hands are holding 40s, any task involving hands, such as going to the bathroom or picking up any object is rendered virtually impossible. Players of the game are usually eager to finish one 40 to free a hand, though such a drink takes a while to finish for most people. It is therefore strategic to do such tasks before starting the game, when possible.

(I don't know this person. Thank you Google images!)

Who's in?

Ha! I went to NYU as well. But left before I felt like jumping out any windows.

Yeah, the glass barriers in Bobst are the worst! I think I might have made it through in the no jumpers years, whew!
