Hah, malt liquor. Reminds me of living in Mississippi where you could pick up a single of Steel Reserve 211, Colt 45, etc. at any gas station for a little of nothing. It was ok for what it was, high alc % for not much money. I've moved on from those; you can get craft brews with the higher %, but cost is much higher. Don't know if I've just gotten snooty, or don't like the hangover, but I stay away from the malt liquor.
Edit, come to think of it I seem to recall playing 40 hands with Steel Reserve. I think that would kill me nowadays...
