Yeah, but only just recently did I start hearing this said in Boston all the time. Maybe I just never noticed it before.

Maybe I'm wrong and just never realized lol

I always thought the 22 or 24 oz were called deuce deuce or double deuce. Which I always though was strange when they were 24 oz lol

Now I'm all confused!

Open up the fridge and have a tall boy

I never got why beers are always "tall".

Is it somehow disadvantageous to make the glass/bottle/can wider instead?

Btw the dictionary defines a tall boy as typically between 16 and 25 oz, so theres a range of can sizes that people call tall boys.

Is a Four Loko technically a tall boy?
