Edward Fortyhands

Edward Fortyhands (also known as 80 Ounces to Freedom or The 40 Challenge) is a drinking game in which each player duct tapes a 40-ounce or two-liter bottle of alcohol (usually malt liquor, but sometimes cider or wine) to each of his or her hands and may not remove them until they're consumed. Another related game, called "Shiva Fortyhands," involves taping eight 40 oz bottles to yourself.Fact|date=October 2008

Rules

House rules differ as to whether one can finish and remove one 40 oz. at a time, but before the alcohol in both hands has been completely ingested, the drinking party will typically need to urinate, smoke a cigarette, answer a phone call, or something similar, giving each participant an incentive to finish their alcohol as quickly as possible. It can also be used as a "goal" for the game: to see who can abstain from these activities until they are finished with their drinks. Some rules stipulate that the player must break the bottles after consumption to free him or herself.

Name

The name of the game is derived from the 1990 movie "Edward Scissorhands". The alternate name, "80 Ounces to Freedom," is a reference to Sublime's 1992 album "40 Oz. to Freedom. An alternative version of the game is Eduardo Manivino, which is Italian for "Edward Winehands."
