Look I've told you people how to drink gin before. Get a stainless steel vacuum flask. Half fill it with gin. Get some really good ginger beer (if the ingredients say 'flavourings' rather than 'ginger' don't use it). I recommend Fentimen's. Add the ginger beer to the flask. Put the flask in the freezer. Take out (much later) and drink on a really warm day. I bet even Allan could drink gin this way.

I need to be convinced about 'merican whiskey, though, Allan. Bring plenty - I'm a slow learner. In return we will provide Powers and Paddys, which some (including us) prefer to even Jamesons.

If George Dickel is only 12 years old, he shouldn't be drinking. What are his parents thinking of?
