Slang for whiskey?

Well, the thread below about euphemisms and slang for getting drunk got me to thinking (famous last words I know)

What about slang for whiskey or other “adult beverages”?

I’m sure you Micks must have a dozen for Guinness alone (Someone told me once that Guinness was Gaelic for Genius. Is that true?) And yeah I know what you guys say about American Beer (like making love in a canoe. ****ing close to water).

Here are few Southernisms for whiskey; “who-shot-john”, pop-skull, corn squeezins, moonshine (of course), mountain dew, white lightning, lantern fuel, fire starter, anti-freeze, Blackjack (for JD black label)

<<<<<<<<<<<Someone told me once that Guinness was Gaelic for Genius>>>>>>>>>> Nope he's pulling your gullible leg. Guinness is a name, from Macguinness from Mac Aonghusa, meaning son of Aonghus.

My only name for whiskey is jemmies, cause i don't drink any other stuff. Jd is common too, but who would drink that piss. As for guinness, the black stuff is all I heard.

True Scotch - the golden nectar from Scotland - is spelt Whisky - no "e".
(Whiskybae from the Gaelic "uisge beatha" - literally meaning "water of life" - aqua vita - so appropriate - puts hair on your chest - well, for the blokes anyway).

If it has an "e" then it's either Irish or American.

In my area, Stella Artois or 'Stella' is often referred to as 'wife beater', due to it being quite a strong lager. For whiskey or scotch, I remember a few cockney rhyming slang terms. Gold watch = scotch. I have said it a few times, but it never worked. Erm, I can't remember any others at the moment.

Yeah there are a couple of one liners taking the mick of Budweiser (the American one) which is justified (gnat’s piss is one - actually I think that may be a general term for dodgy lager, not sure). Someone mentioned earlier the black stuff for Guinness.

I quite like Makers Mark, which is a US Bourbon that I think kicks JD's arse; unfortunately it is hard to find in these parts. The two best scotch's that the average bloke can afford have to be Glenmorangie and of the Islay malts, Laphroaig; the best. When in America, I remember Bushmills being ridiculously dear, I never knew why. That's good gear though. I seem to have gone of the topic, sorry.

well some people here, and i do not condone the practice, call heineken heino or ken, and carlsberg probs. i hate it i hate i hate it.

"Someone told me once that Guinness was Gaelic for Genius. Is that true?"

That was a joke
