The only time I ever threw up after drinking, it was a couple of 12- or 16-ounce bottles of Steel Reserve that did it.
I've always associated 40-ounce bottles with people who collect discarded cans in order to make enough money to buy one, and then drink it out of a paper bag in the store's parking lot.
The only good thing I can recall is a review I read a few years ago - apparently Corona has a 40-ounce with the brand name "Familiar" which was surprisingly good, according to the reviewer. I haven't tried it.

As a youngin' I used to share the colt 45 on the street corners with my friends. I'm not proud. Sure it's part of America, but hardly anyone I know drinks it regularly. They, like I, will drink it if someone suggests it more as a dare than anything. I understood "fortie's" to be something that young (possibly underage) Americans would drink at parties or something that was popular in the black urban community, rather than it being a sophisticated national tipple. I had sort of gathered that it was a fairly cheap drink, but I still want to try it. Would they serve bottles of it in dive bars or is it only available from convenience stores? Not sure you can order a 40 in a bar; you can buy them in most liquor stores (btw, we call them "packies," short for "package stores," in Massachusetts), at least if you're not in a really upscale location. One often sips a forty while it is ensconced in a brown paper bag.

Once again I went to a comic show and rebought 5 comics that I already had. Nothing pricey ( a buck each) but it's annoying, anyway. I just spent the the last 3 hours cataloging some Superman and Action boxes.

I haven't tried it. So it doesn't taste like regular Corona? Right - it's a different beer, available in other sizes too, but I've only ever seen the 40-ounce version. Familiar is always in a brown bottle rather than the clear bottle of Corona Extra. Of the ones in the picture, obviously Confessor should try Olde English 800. He may not be olde, but he is English.

I'm in denial, I blame it on lazy record keeping.
