See, we can always learn something new here Since I don't like scotch, I'll just stick to my tequila or maybe some cognac with coca-cola, it's a drink called París de Noche (Paris at night) in México. Now you've learned something new too

Hope all that smoke goes away soon!

Been curious what "wee dram" was. Thought it was a particular kind of liquor. Now I get it. For me that would be a blended margarita with salt on the rim of the glass or a good shot of Tequila

Besides all the learning and sharing tips and tricks, part of the fun is all the "communication" going around

Scots Noun

'wee dram'

(euphemistic) A shot of Scotch Whisky; a single malt Scotch, for example from Glenmorangie or Laphroaig or a blended whisky like The Famous Grouse or Black Bottle.

Dram

Scottish word which comes from Scottish Gaelic - the literal meaning of 'dram' in English is simply 'drink', so it doesn't really have to be just whisky/spirits though it's normally used for these things.
