Usquebaugh, in the Gaelic. Uisge: life and Beatha: Water. The water of life. Each sip like a rebirth.

As the poet Burns said: "Freedom and whisky gang theigither, Tak aff your dram! (Author's Earnest Cry and Prayer, Robert Burns (1759-1796)

Read some Burns, my friend. Lots of good stuff there. And the glossaries will help you.

Paean pie has always been one of my favorites, I had no idea it was Scottish however.

Palinka always has a slice to add to the menu.

whiskey is the only way life is tolerable.

Ain't that the troot? I started drinking beer and lesser liquors when I was quite young, but I knew I wasn't prepared for manhood until I developed a taste for whiskey. Gang theetogether indeed.

Revived, brought back, but he woke.

I've looked, but I can't find out what the hell "Thanum an dhul" means in English. My Irish-English dictionary is small, so maybe I should splurge one of these days for the more robust version.

And DPAW, Whisk(e)y IS the joy in life. I like all booze, but for some reason a measure of neat whisk(e)y always makes me smile. ALWAYS.
