A strong lager, Stella Artois. It takes the name both from the violent tendencies it brings about in those who consume it religiously and 'Streetcar Named Desire', where the abbreviated 'Stella' is the name of the female lead, victim to domestic violence.
"Ere are john yes please, mate, two wifebeaters."

a wifebeater is more of a lifestyle than a shirt per se. usually it is white and ribbed in texture. frowned upon by some, it expresses what the french call "savoir vivre". given the anthropological approach of the shirt, it doesn't really matter what shape the user is in, as long as he believes that by wearing a wifebeater, he expresses that everyone in this world should enjoy life without harming others while looking damn sexy.
He's been wearing a wifebeater since he's one year old. Therefore, I trust him.

Everybody was wearing a button-down shirt, but he was wearing a wifebeater. Hence, he knows how to party.

This is for the UK. A wifebeater is a short sleeved item of clothing worn by men. In the UK a wifebeater is know as a vest.
Uk: Do you like my new vest?
Us: Dude that's not a vest it's a wifebeater.

A man who physically abuses his wife. NOT a ribbed tanktop ribby.
Joe hits his wife to make himself feel better about the fact that he can't keep his dick hard for more then two minutes at a time. Who cares what kind of shirt the guy's wearing, HE'S the wifebeater.

A secret (or maybe not so secret) society of rotten bastards who beat their wives.
Bob: I'm gonna join the wifebeaters, you fucking bitch!
Bob's wife: Oh honey! That seems wonderful!

Party featuring frat boys in wifebeaters, thrown in brotherly comradery with southern country boys who represent all-american ideals of rugged individualism and brotherhood. Wifebeater parties are great opportunities to show off one's toned muscles, manly musk, and fully re-grown armpit hair (shaved at initiation), especially to the ladies and fraternity brothers.
I've never seen as many fratboy armpits as I did at last night sweet wifebeater party!
