MG the small ones, those are just mickeys. But a Texas Mickey, well thats quite another thing altogether. Whether you call it a Texas Mickey or a Handle, that shit holds a lot of liquor.
Edit add-
oooh so its only the hard drinking parts of Canada that call it May 2-4.

Man, most of the Saskatoon bars had their popular nights where drinks were $2.25 or $2.50. $2.25 is the statutory MINIMUM you could charge for a drink! So, with the drinks being rather cheap, there was a LOT of drinking going on, that much I know (since I participated heartily). As I'm sure Jen05 and others can attest, there's not all that much more to do in the prairie provinces BUT drink ALL THE TIME (while doing other fun activities, of course, such as fishing, boating on the lake, camping, etc). I think the prairie provinces can give any others a run for their money in alcohol consumption
For the reference of those unfamiliar with the terms to describe measurements of liquor...
250 mL = Flask
375 mL = Mickey
750 mL = Fifth (US) / 2-6 or 26er (Canada)
1.12 L = 40 (Canada)
1.75 mL = Handle (US) / Texas Mickey (Canada)
(the other obvious measures are a half-litre and litre)
Can you tell I'm an alcoholic?
