I wonder what would happen if it was a singed long, and it landed somewhere in the negatives after overflowing multiple times?

Negative forty-eight thousand, six hundred thirty-three bottles of beer on the wall,

Negative forty-eight thousand, six hundred thirty-three bottles of beer

You take one down, pass it around,

Negative forty-eight thousand, six hundred thirty-four bottles of beer on the wall

Well, silly me, I should have specified that I did my calculation with signed long, though it shouldn't affect the outcome much given my rounding at the hundreds.

I like the idea of beer debt to the wall, though!
