So I live downtown and understand that maybe places have stopped selling 40s because of the homeless people or something, but its been years since ive had one and was wondering if im just not looking hard enough or if theyre actually gone. let me know if you know of a place that sells them.
funny. do you have an actual answer or did you just wanna preach to me?
I’m not preaching, I’m explaining why 40oz are less common in general.
I believe Clippership in Eastie has them which may be the closest to downtown.
I know EBO Grocery sell High Life 40’s ironically.
clippership. got it. now shut up.
Well champagne wishes and caviar dreams to you too sunshine.
Have a blast drinking shit beer while angry.
Hope it works out for you.
you see what happens when you ask a redditor to simply be quiet? they come up with about 5 different cute little hallmark comebacks and assume im as miserable as their terminally online selves are. i said shut up.
>assume im as miserable as their terminally online selves are.
>i said shut up.
TBH I’m beyond “assuming” at this point lmao
I’ll leave you with this free lesson: Unlike the imaginary arguments you have in the shower, nobody in the real world cares that you told them to shut up …or, has to listen.
It’s going to be a beautiful day buttercup, don’t waste it being an ass.
I'm concerned you are asking this question at 5:30 in the morning.
You seem like the kind of guy who’s going to learn about homeless-catering liquor stores the hard way. I picture you raving against the world, soiled pants and bottle in a bag. You’re telling everyone who will listen -which is no one- how everything is some other guy’s fault -which it isn’t- and when someone does try to engage -which is never- you’ll tell them to shut up, and you’ll go back to your shitty 40oz bottle of backwash.
Lmao I can't even imagine being this out of touch with reality. I guess that's what having 'live downtown' money does to a person. You should be able to tell what liquor store sells 40s just by how they look on the outside, maybe get out of your Porsche and go for a walk some time
thanks for reminding me to not ask a simple question to redditors. I work graveyard and my gf is asking me to get off the phone and cuddle so maybe i can answer all yalls questions later this afternoon. peace.
lol living downtown isn’t Porsche money… cuz you spend your Porsche money on the whole living downtown part of it
It’s just a romanticized thing in music and other media, like smoking blunts or doing shots. Sometimes it’s fun to cosplay as a member of the Wu Tang Clan.
Yes, a 40oz typically refers to malt liquor as opposed to standard beer. Now they obviously have craft beer styles that are high ABV but traditionally, the light domestic beer you could buy is under 5% ABV. So malt liquor has a light domestic taste with a high ABV and is typically sold in 40 oz containers. If you look at the 40s sold in a store most of them will say “malt liquor” as opposed to beer or lager.
El Barto’s coming in like he’s mad that we didn’t offer to buy the 40s for him or something sheesh
Ah the good old days of drinking 40s. They taste like crap and the last 20 ounces is warm and flat unless you slam the whole thing.
I see, thanks. Now out of curiosity, do they sell the same brands of malt in other common containers such as 12oz bottles/cans?
Typically not. Although sometimes you can get them in oversized cans as opposed to the traditional 40oz glass bottle.
Mildly interesting.
40s were sold all over huntington ave
2 40s of MD20/20 taped to both hands, gotta try to finish at least one before you gotta piss
I’ve seen them in Dorchester.
Guess rent is out of control for everybody then lol
Mad dog was never sold in 40’s least not what I can remember
> assume im as miserable as their terminally online selves are.
I mean you’re the one asking for a 40 of Olde English at 6 in the morning so safe to assume you’re at least fairly miserable
>2 40s of MD20/20
ummmm.. MD20/20 is "wine."
you forgot to put "gf" in quotes.
You guys don't know her, she goes to a different sub-Reddit.
Was gonna say, Lynn definitely does, and some places near the beach in Revere probably do too.
I see we have a sommelier in the thread
indeed.. for the uninitiated, I always suggest pairing the MD 20/20 Banana Red with a package of Strawberry Pop Rocks under the stars on a summer evening, or even with friends around a fire pit once the leaves have begun to turn..
Mickeys hand grenades were small, and haffenreffer came in 16oz bottles (and 12oz bottles as well I think). I have no idea if any of those things exist anymore though.
says the man who can’t even find 1 beer, ur a clown
ur late. in the time it took you to reply i found my previous 40 and sucked the nipples off your sister. imagine being the brother in law to someone as brainless as me

Picture a neighborhood you wouldn’t feel safe after the sun goes down and fry their liquor store.
Also from what I’ve seen, the homeless that are still drinkers aren’t drinking beer, and when they are, it’s a +/- 22oz pounder can.
