An Intoxicating Mix of Alcohol Puns
What is it about alcohol that encourages clever wordplay? Maybe it’s the fact that there are so many different varieties and brands of liquor, many of them with funny sounding names. Or it could be because people have been drinking – and talking about drinking – for so long that a rich vocabulary of booze slang has developed.
Or maybe alcohol-related witticisms only seem clever because the people enjoying them are often plastered. Call it the auditory equivalent of beer goggles.
Whatever the reason, alcohol is a great subject for all sorts of verbal shenanigans, including puns. To drive the point home (because it might be a little tipsy), here’s a hefty sampling of alcohol puns organized by drink type.
