The Ocean of Intemperance: A brief undercover operation

A planter, apparently, does not consider he has had a drink unless it contains at least seven ingredients, and I'm not saying, mind you, that he isn't right. The man behind the bar told us the things were called Green Swizzles; and, if ever I marry and have a son, Green Swizzle Wooster is the name that will go down in the register... --P.G. Wodehouse, The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy

Although Mr Gedge's statement that the Vicomte de Blissac was never sober had been an exaggeration—for he was frequently sober, sometimes for hours at a time—it is undoubtedly true that he had a distinct bias toward the festive. --P. G. Wodehouse, Hot Water
