I think the Uk equivelant might be a bit like "Carlsberg Special Brew" (Also see "Tennants Super"). A super-strength Lager mostly associated with winos and tramps...

^ Love how it lists the amount of units you should safely drink and then right along side, the bit where it says that one can of Special-Brew is about double that limit x-D

But if ML is something teenagers drink just to get smashed quickly and cheaply, then that would be more like "White Lightning" Cider...

btw, I LOLed at this...
