Edward Fortyhands
Edward Fortyhands (sometimes known as Edward Ciderhands or Scrumpy Hands) is a drinking game in which each player duct-tapes a 40-ounce or 1.14 liter bottle of alcohol (usually malt liquor, but sometimes cider, scrumpy, or wine) to each of their hands and may not remove the tape until the drinks have been consumed.[1][2][3] The name is an allusion to the movie Edward Scissorhands. In the United Kingdom, the game is sometimes played with bottles of wine and is called Amy Winehands, an allusion to the British singer Amy Winehouse.[4]
Rules[edit]
The drinker needs to finish the drinks in order to remove the bottles. House rules differ as to whether one may finish and remove one bottle at a time. Because the drinkers typically need use of their hands, for example, to urinate or answer a phone call, participants have 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 the drinks are finished. Furthermore, in some versions players are allowed to engage these activities so long as they can be accomplished with the bottles still taped to their hands or if a friend is willing to help. Vomiting is considered a disqualification.
Often, the empty bottles are smashed together in a clapping motion, which can cause lacerations or bleeding of the hands and/or eyes if they break.
