I don't know how it started, but growing up in New Brunswick, whenever we were referring to a bottle of booze that was 2 liters or more in size, it was always called a Texas Mickey. They even call it that in the Liqour stores.

Maybe it's got something to do with everything in Texas is big, including the bottles of alcohol! I'm just guessing here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
