No, no, no[edit]

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)[reply]

It does belong on here if we can get it cited. JanderVK (talk) 19:21, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"In the early 80's"[edit]

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)[reply]

Media[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Changed in the media to "Spotted in the media" and placed in this section

Alcoholic Content[edit]

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)[reply]

I bought a 710 in Etobicoke, Ontario and it was also 7.0. I'm also very drumk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.203.48 (talk) 20:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know for sure what it is in the USA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.9.45 (talk) 23:36, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Free Colt 45 to Barack Obama? Unless a source for that is found, I'm deleting that sentence. Nepstad (talk) 10:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

strong beer[edit]

I removed a recently added statement about Colt 45 being labeled as "strong beer" in Canada not because it's wrong, but because it's possibly incomplete and misleading. Looking around, it appears to be labeled strong beer in the Phillipines as well. Is it the same beer as "malt liquor", just labeled differently or is it a separate blend? Where is it available? Apparently not just Canada. I think that issue should be more thoroughly investigated and cited before we add it into the article. – JBarta (talk) 00:52, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Correction. You didn't remove the "statement", you removed everything, the whole paragraph, which also included the quantities sold in Canada. Care to explain why? (lest I'm putting it back) Thanks, 24.201.216.214 (talk) 06:32, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I pretty much explained it above. I'm not sure I could explain it more without repeating myself. I don't want to keep the info out. I just want to make sure it's complete and accurate before adding it. As it was, I'm not sure it was either. Let's start with this... are you able to answer either of the questions I posed? If so, can you provide some sort of reliable source for it? – JBarta (talk) 07:57, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
