Talk:Colt 45 (malt liquor)

[edit] No, no, no

This paragraph is very amusing, but doesn't belong on Wikipedia:
"Malt liquor is often associated with African-American culture and rap music, but in the 1970s and early 1980s it was also popular with some suburban white youth and American punk rockers. Colt 45 is popular with punk rockers or metalheads due to its low price and high alcohol content. Since they often fight against conformity it makes sense the drink is also shunned upon by most other people making it a drink they can call their own."
"Since they often fight against conformity"? Seriously? Also, see the paragraph directly following here in regards to the popularity of malt liquor. This whole passage was obviously rampantly non-POV and I'm fixing it. Lazylisa 04:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "In the early 80's"

I'd say that malt liquor is still pretty popular with suburban youth (espcially those under 21) for the same reason it was in the 80's. It's cheap and gets you drunk. Tomb Ride My Talk 21:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Media

I dont understand why this in the media was removed:
"Kramer's Mother (seinfeld) was said to walken around half drunken drinking Colt 45's, and Kramer blew his cover upon hearing this when stealing the jacket. (Season 3, Episode 26)" User_talk:Teckjunkie

Because it's poorly written, and while it is "media" it would be more suited to a "trivia" section. More or less, it's an interesting anecdote but ultimately irrelevant. 24.57.203.238 20:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
What if it was changed to "A landlord informed Cosmo Kramer that his mother Babs Kramer (Seinfeld) use to frolic throughout the apartment drinking Colt 45. (Season 3, Episode 26)"teckjunkie 13:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Changed in the media to "Spotted in the media" and placed in this section

[edit] Alcoholic Content

A friend of mine bought a 710ml can in Ottawa, Ontario, and it's listed at 7.0% alc./vol. I think this should be noted, but I'm not sure why it's different than anything else. QBasicer (talk) 23:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC) (Forgot to log in)
