Edward Fortyhands (also known as 80 Ounces to Freedom[citation needed],The 40 Challenge[citation needed] or in New Zealand Scrumpy Hands) is a drinking game in which each player duct tapes a 40 oz (1.2 litre) bottle of alcohol (usually malt liquor or Scrumpy) to each of his or her hands and is not allowed to remove them until they've been consumed.
[edit] Rules
Parties differ as to the specific ruling; specifically, whether one can finish and remove one 40 oz. at a time. Typically, before the alcohol has been completely ingested, the drinking party will 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 require you to consume both drinks before you regain "free hands", while others stipulate that the player must break the bottles after consumption to free himself.
[edit] 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. After being invented, the game gradually gained popularity and is played today in several countries[citation needed]
