Every country and culture in the world has its own words relating to alcohol, and they're often colourful and varied.

Post a sentence with a word in bold face that relates to alcohol, then the translation.

Ejemplo: In New Zealand it is customary to scull your drink if you are caught drinking left handed

En Nueva Zelanda es costumbre tomar rápidamente tu bebida si se te pilla bebiendo con la mano izquierda.

In the United States (and I suspect in other English-speaking countries as well) a bottle from which all of the alcoholic beverage has been drunk is called a dead soldier.

En los Estados Unidos (y supongo que es el mismo en otros países anglohablantes) una botella desde la que toda la bebida alcohólica se ha bebido se llama un soldado muerto.
