Anybody remember Carling Black Label?

Anybody from the south remember Canadian Ace? How about Falls City?

What about 900. From their advertising campaign in the 70's, "When you want
to do a whole lot of drinkin' without drinkin' a lot"

900 had 3 big X's across the label. I drank *one* 16 oz can and passed out
when I was 16.

Country Club malt liquor. Came in all sizes including the mini 8 ouncers.

I know there were more, but I can't remember.
