Answer 4

I'm not Canadian although I go to and have lots of friends in Montreal (what a place!) but I know that Katie K has it correct: a handle is the 1.75 liter size. But I didn't realize the term is a Canadian one. I have never heard the term used, at least not in Quebec. Actually in Quebec liquor stores the large size is usually just 1.14 liters.

Answer 5

I'm Canadian and I have NO idea what a handle of Captin Morgan's is. I think the person who asked that question speaks in their own Language.

Answer 6

A handle is bigger than a fifth of liquer.. it's a little less than 2 liters.

It's called a handle because theyre so big they need handles.

Answer 7

it refers to those extra large bottles of liquor, usually above 1.2 liters. its called a handle because generally,those types of liquor bottles have handles on them. by the way, the term "handle" is also used elsewhere, not only in Canada.

Answer 8

I'm from the South (Dixieland). Your handle is your name. It's what you call yourself. It's usually used when you're on a CB radio.

Answer 9

Get a handle on it; get it together. Other than that I don't know.

Answer 10

We also call it a Texas Mickey
