So nowadays we purchase 1.75L bottles and call them 'handles'. But most of them don't have a physical handle on them. Jameson is a perfect example, they used to have a handle on their 1.75L and so we'd call it a handle. Since ~2010, they got rid of handle on the 1.75L and I almost quit drinking...
So do we still use the slang of "a handle" on bottles that are 1.75L without a handle, or just type out "1.75L" instead?
fwiw, i typed "1.85" every time I tried to type "1.75L" in this post, so it's easier to type "handle" instead.
Anyways, thoughts? or just any drunken things to say that don't pertain to this topic?
Is a handle a handle if it doesn't have a handle?

Close enough, though I do admit I prefer the "handle" to have handle after drink number 10.

I thought handles were just the drunk-proof bottom shelf plastic gallons which I am the biggest fan of.

A handle without a handle is called a fondle.

Re: Is a handle a handle if it doesn't have a handle?
As strange as referring to something as a handle that doesn't always have a handle is, and that is a strange one, I have a different question. Why don't they just go for the full two liters? They're so close!
Re: Is a handle a handle if it doesn't have a handle?
I'll still call it a handle or I just call it the "big fuck you" bottle. Most stores don't appreciate that term to be honest.

Is it a handle? Are they grip dimples? Your semantics are making me thirsty.

Well, I mean, Duh.
Side note. I hated when guys would ask me what drink I wanted. The only drink I knew by name was the Screwdriver, and that was because some nice guy I went out with asked me, and when I looked at him like a blank-brained sheep, he said "You're going to love a Screwdriver, and yes I did, and no, no one asked for my ID, because he bought, and then one day, darling Grumpy took me out and suggested bourbon, and I have never looked back since.

Of course my dear fellow. The handle is just a classy touch to prevent us from dropping the whole bottle on our foot, and prevents alcohol abuse
