philmayfield 6,139 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I just saw an advert for vodka on my iPad. It said ‘please drink responsibly’. I was under the opinion that people only drank vodka to get ratted. Why else would anyone drink a diluted pure alcohol? Years ago when I was working in Scotland I was introduced to the Scottish way of drinking whereby they mixed whisky with lemonade, the theory being that the carbon dioxide therein took the alcohol to the brain more quickly thus enabling them to quickly become paralytic. I must confess that I’ve not been even remotely inebriated for many years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 You have reminded me of a flight a few years ago. It was Virgin Atlantic from Las Vegas overnight to London. After leveling out, the flight attendant announced over the P.A. that alcoholic beverages were complementary and to please drink responsibility. That was the first time we had ever heard that suggested. Not sure why they did it, they offered a drink with dinner and we never saw the crew again until they served a quick breakfast before landing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,139 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Looking at some of the old adverts for Seager’s Egg Flip the selling point was ‘health and vitality’. A sort of pick me up for tired housewife’s. A bit like ‘Craven A will not affect your throat’! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
