Airplane bottles? Or the size I'm looking for?

"Before going metric in Canada a standard bottle of spirits was 26 ounces (now 750 ml)and called a 26'er or a two-six. When a Canadian says the word "bottle" this is the size that's meant.

A "mickey" was half the volume if the standard bottle and usually a flask shaped glass bottle, though any bottle of 13 ounces (or 375 ml) could be called a mickey.

There was also a "Texas Mickey" which was one imperial gallon (3.79 litres). It came with a pump and stood on the floor like a keg, but it was usually a giant-sized bottle of whatever brand spirits it was. These were usually for promotional purposes, but sometimes they could end up in private hands and show up at dorm parties etc."

With those capris that booze is going to be 'hidden mickeys'

And another....

The answers so far seem unfamiliar with the "mickey" as a nickname for a specific bottle size (it is regional and much more common in Canada). Note: "Slipping someone a mickey" is NOT at all what a "mickey of rum" is referring to.

Full size bottles (like a wine bottle) are usually 750 mL. The bottle size referred to as a "mickey" by Canadians (the smaller square, flask-shaped bottles) are usually 375 mL which is not quite 12.7 U.S. fluid ounces.

A single shot is usually 1.5 fluid oz. You can get almost 8.5 shots out of a mickey.

For sure some vodka and a bottle Baileys. Probably a few other premade small things.

I think that's the size I'm referring to! It doesn't take much for me...
