Willie loved the internet. Well, I imagine he would have, if he ever got a chance to use it. Maybe he did. Who knows.

40oz Malt Liquor.com
2004 (Last Year Updated [estimated])
Homepage of the largest collection (by far) of 40s and 40 drinkers in the world. Inherited the title of King of 40 Pages from Spicoli. This represents true dedication.

Spicoli’s Liquor Store

1998
Formerly the king of 40 fan pages. Has a page devoted to each of dozens of different brands, including parody brands created for old SNL skits. Source of National 40 Day’s motto: “You drink the first half of a 40 so that you can drink the second half.”

GodDAMN! That's some good site!
1998
The ultimate Colt 45 fanpage. Check it out if you're curious about Colt 45 prices around the country or have an unhealthy fixation on Billy Dee Williams.

A Beginner’s Guide to Malt Liquor
1996
Companion site: A Beginner’s Guide to HTML. Includes “bouquet” in its descriptions of various brands. Cryptically declares, “Stolen from the Book NEXT: Young American Writers on the New Generation.”

40 Ounces of Fury
2001
Surprisingly amusing write-ups of a half-dozen different brands. Ranks each for “Power”, “Street Cred”, and “Flava”.

Olde English
2003
Home page of a college sketch comedy group with access to a pirated copy of Final Cut Pro. If there’s a reason they picked this name, they’re keeping it a secret.
