Slipping someone a mickey is serving someone a drugged drink, usually something with rohypnol or something like this.

Every canadian that I've talked to that has had to verbalize the idea of a half-fifth of hard liquor used the term mickey.

mickey = 13oz (half-fifth)
forty = 40 oz bottle
two-four = 24-pack of beer

'texas mickey' = HUGE bottle (don't know how big)

EDIT: Around here, "slipping someone a mickey" is giving someone booze in order to get something you want.

The original "Mickey" in "Slipping soandso a Mickey" was Morphine. Now there are far more... "elegant" substances that are in use. But you get the idea.

That, and "Mickey's" is a type of malt liquor (think strong beer) that usually comes in small, almost round bottles. Whenever I party, that's what I drink.

Yeah, the phrase slipping someone a mickey probably originated around the turn of the century.
