                                According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a 40oz bottle of malt liquor can contain up to 4.7 standard drinks, a dangerously high amount for a single occasion. Consuming this quickly is considered binge drinking and carries severe health risks.
