"Two-six" (or 2-6) is Canadian slang for a standard 750ml bottle of hard liquor, originating from the old 26-ounce imperial measure of liquor bottles before metrication, surviving as a popular, shortened term for that size, similar to a "fifth" in the U.S.. It's a key piece of Canadian drinking culture, alongside "two-four" (a case of 24 beers) and "Mickey" (a small bottle).

Origin: Came from the 26-ounce capacity of pre-metric liquor bottles in Canada, notes the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles (DCHP-3).
Metric Shift: The term stuck even after bottles switched to 750ml (about 25.4 oz) in the 1970s/80s, according to the DCHP-2.
Usage: You'd ask for a "two-six of rum" or "grab a two-six" for a party.
Canadian Slang: It's a distinctively Canadian term, alongside other sizes like a "Mickey" (375ml) or "Texas Mickey" (3L).
"Before the party, we have to stop at the LCBO to pick up a two-six of vodka".
