Mickey' Fine Malt Liquor

[klflowers]

So I was standing in front of the beer cooler in the liquor store the other day and a blast from the dim days of my youth jumped up

[Mr. Bones]

Lol! Usedta drink those a lot, with my Pa...

There was, (likely still is) a trail of green bottles in th roadside ditches, alla th way from our farm, to where we worked, an back...

Cheers, an Happy Sattiday, Brother!

[Dick Anderson]

Used to leave one open on the counter (or the coffee table) on Friday nite; made some fine pancakes Saturday morning.

I remember drinking Mickey's in my youth as well. I also remember 40s of St. Ides. Live and learn is what I say.

[Red Man]

I’d completely forgotten about St Ides! Ah the good old days back in high school, Mickeys, OE, and St Ides. 😂

[ofelles]

Flash back! I'm told I enjoyed to '60's. Heresay because I don't remember much. Mickeys and the glass gallon jugs of Red Mountain. Great gateway to some of the other stuff. Thanks for the reminder

[Mr. Bones]

As I've always heared, an agree:
"Hey, Man...If ya remember th Sixties....then ya weren't There, Man! "

[Mr. Bones]

Boone's Farm, Annie Green Springs, fer wine, hereabouts...some desperate times involved Mad Dog 20 20, which is basically an emetic, with grape(-ish) flavourin, in my experience, an many of my posse, back in th day...

[klflowers]

Annie green springs, my god, Mr. Bones i haven't heard that in many a year.

[Old Glory]

Mickey's Bigmouth and the puzzle caps! We also drank Matt's beer balls in college.

Our High School drinking in the woods favorite:

Head Wreckers A/K/A Green Death

[Razor]

Wow, how did you manage to get ahold of the "private stock". 🤣

[klflowers]

Never seen that before.

[smokin fool]

Wow....glad I'm older now and over that stuff

[CaptainMike]

Throw in some Mad Dog 2020 and we can par-tay!

[klflowers]

Nothing like that flat MD bottle perfect for smuggling into michigan stadium

[CaptainMike]

Nothing like that stream of purple puke!

[Bkhuna]

The first and last time I drank MD was when I was 17. I remember the party and the visit to an old cemetery overgrown with spanish moss on oak trees. The young lady, I do not remember.

[Hulagn1971]

Good stuff. I remember when they had the pop tops.

[Mr. Bones]

Me too, Brother
Remember when ya hadda have a Church Key, previous to th pop tops? I was right in that era...

[troymeister]

Oh Geez....I remember that.....Barely...lol..Also reminds me of that very disturbing Tom Waits song...Franks Wild years

watch

[MBMorgan]

Back in the day there was nothing "fine" about Mickey’s. The only selling point I remember is that big mouth. Thanks for the flashback ... 😎👍 ...

[SmokeyGator]

I bought a 6 pack of that stuff out of nostalgia about 15 years ago.

At the time 30 year old me immediately said to my friend "dude how the hell did we drink this stuff 10 years ago??"

[smokin fool]

10 years ago it was probably a buck ninety-nine for a 6 pack and you got sixty cents back for bottle deposit....

[SmokeyGator]

More like 10 years ago the convenience store that was known to not ask for ID had a rather limited selection. You could buy bum wine or bum beer.

[klflowers]

6 pack was 5.99. Worth every penny lol

[rodkeary]

I was not quite as "fancy pants" as y’all. Ripple seems to have found it’s way into my adolescent rotation along with Reinlander beer ($5.99/24).

[CaptainMike]

OMG, Fred G. Sanford's favorite drink! Man, we would laugh until we cried watching show!

[painter]

They're still making that stuff? I haven't had a Mickey's since --like the second grade.

[klflowers]

I was shocked to see it. Hadn’t seen any for years.

[pjlstrat]

Mikeys's Big Mouth....Holy crap what a blast from the past......Thank you for posting!!!!

[klflowers]

Had to share that. You're welcome.
