What is 40 oz?

40 oz refers to a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor or beer, commonly sold in convenience stores and liquor stores. These large bottles are typically associated with inexpensive, high-alcohol content beverages favored by young people and individuals looking for a quick and cheap way to get drunk.

The term "40 oz" became popular in the 1980s and 1990s with the rise of hip hop culture and rap music, where it was often referenced in lyrics and music videos. Some popular brands of 40 oz beers include Colt 45, Olde English 800, and Mickey's.

Due to their high alcohol content and large serving size, 40 oz beverages have been associated with binge drinking and alcohol abuse. Some health experts have raised concerns about the negative effects of consuming such large quantities of alcohol in a short period of time.
