Mickey's Irish...

Sure sounds like Mickey's 'Wide Mouth' Malt Liquor (formerly a Heileman product, now part of the Miller line- can't be TOO rare...).

I remember the first bottles I had of Mickey's wide mouth. They had tabs on them and you had to peel em back to open the bottle. I wonder how many folks cut their fingers trying to get the sucker open? lol

Hmmm... now that I think about it, I guess it was called "Mickey's Big Mouth"...

They had tabs on

Yeah, they were dangerous- a build in alcohol level detector. Once you see blood, it's time to stop drinking (if only long enough to get a band-aid). Rheingold had a similar cap on a more straight sided glass bottle- early ones were painted white (like a Brand bottle). And Coors had a "big mouth" quart for a time, with a screw cap.

My favorite was finding Mickey's (in a LA area "Two Guys" store [an East Coast deparment store chain 'famous' for smelling like hot dogs and sauerkraut], no less) in cans. Kinda ruined the whole "Big Mouth" gimmick....

Mickey's Big Mouth.

A sweet malt liquor.

Used by people who wanted a lot of kick for their money. A drunks drink. Not really a beer.

"Not really a beer." What the hell does that mean? I hate it when geeks say this about "malt liquor." Of course it's REALLY beer, it's just not beer you like. Get over it.

"geeks"?

My My!

Thanks for playing.

Yeah, yeah, welcome to USENET, troll boy. Stick to the point or rest your arse on it.

Been on usenet for near a decade, junior.

"Depending upon whom you ask, "40's" (40 oz. bottles of malt liquor) are either an insidious weapon against the bodies, minds and wallets of our nation's poor or simply the lowest form of alcoholic beverage."

I'll go with the latter.

"Malt liquor is more potent than its more highly esteemed cousin, beer,......the highest price of any brand we surveyed was $1.95."

$1.95!! WOW!! That's some real gourmet shit!

"one can say, "Well, I may have sunk to drinking 40's, but..." "

Well, if you're sober enough to say it.

"WASHINGTON - Malt liquor, a type of beer that is higher in alcohol than other brews, is largely a drink of the homeless and unemployed, and is likely to be abused, U.S. researchers reported Monday."

"The combined effects of higher alcohol content, larger serving size, and faster consumption can result in higher blood alcohol levels, an increased risk of aggressive behavior, and other alcohol-related problems."

"other", as in the stupid type?

"If you've got a bud whose idea of quality in alcoholic beverages is (1) it's cheap! and (2) it'll get you drunk faster! ... well, you may cherish this person, but he or she will probably not be the first person you'd think of to take to the palace to meet the queen, you know what I'm saying?"

Wanna play some more?

Thanks anyway.

Thanks for playing.

It's taken you a whole decade to suck this badly at it?

*plonk*

Newbie.

Guess you'll never catch up, then. Those of us who been on longer know it's USENET.

And I'll stick with what I said: "malt liquor," regardless of whether you or I like it, is beer, and anyone who says it isn't is either a poser, a newbie, or a dipshit. Pick one.

??????????????????

(And why do you sign your posts "Newbie"?)

Do you REALLY feel that that counts for shit?

Grasping at capitalized straws, are we? (Is that what you suck that 40 through after they bitch slap you down on the corner?)

Here. Pick one or pick'em all! (No charge either way.)

Bryson is:

(A) An asshole.

(B) A raging asshole.

(C) A flaming asshole.

(D) A gaping asshole.

(E) All of the above.

(F) All of the above plus a gutter sleeping drunk.

Take your time. (I know the shakes slow you down in the morning.)

Thanks for playing.

Buck

After watching this thread with only mild interest It is my considered opinion the Buck is the asshole!

Plonk

Be sure to keep your word!

Thanks for playing.

Buck

HA! As much as anything on USENET does, you dipshit. Nothing counts here. It's all just talk, and I'm done with you. You can have one more look at my big red ass as I walk away from this pathetic exchange. See ya, Buck.

Plonk.

Hey, Bucktard, I got one word for you....PLONK!
